My Chemical Romance will perform at three major U.S. festivals next year promoted by Danny Wimmer Presents, including Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, Fl., Sonic Temple in Columbus, Oh., and Louder Than Life on a September date to be announced in Louisville, Ky.

The news was conveyed via the main stage video screens at Louder Than Life on Friday, which was followed by a performance of My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade” by the Louisville Cardinal Marching Band.

Welcome to Rockville will take place May 7-10, with Sonic Temple set for the weekend after. My Chemical Romance’s 2025 roadwork, featuring a performance of their beloved 2006 genre classic The Black Parade in its entirety, concluded yesterday at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees festival. The group will visit South America, Asia and the United Kingdom next year, beginning Jan. 25 in Lima, Peru.

In June, the Gerard Way-led band reissued their 2004 sophomore effort, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge as a remixed and remastered deluxe edition on CD, digital and multiple vinyl variants.
