My Chemical Romance to Embark on First Headlining Tour in Fall

Posted by Eva Lam on July 29th, 2005

My Chemical Romance have announced plans for their first headlining tour this fall.

The New Jersey-based rock band will hit 28 cities, with Alkaline Trio and Reggie And The Full Effect as opening acts, reported Billboard Thursday.

The band will be touring in support of its 2004 sophomore album ?Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge.? The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard?s Heatseekers chart and has sold more than 826,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The singles ?I?m Not Okay (I Promise)? and ?Helena? reached No. 4 and No. 11 respectively on Billboard?s Modern Rock chart.

According to a spokesperson for MCR?s label Reprise Records, on-sale dates and the tour?s start date have not yet been determined.

Venues have also yet to be finalized, but a preliminary list of cities in which the band is slated to play includes Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore.

The headlining dates follow MCR?s current run on the Vans Warped Tour, which brings the band to eastern Canada this week.

After the fall tour, the band plans to head to England for 10 dates beginning Nov. 1 in Wolverhampton.

News of the headlining tour comes just days after MCR received four nominations for the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. They received nods in the Best Rock Video, Best New Artist in a Video, MTV2 Award and Best Choreography in a Video categories, all for their epic, goth-inspired piece for ?Helena.?

MCR previously revealed to Billboard their plans to incorporate a strong visual and theatrical element into upcoming shows.

?We?re really interested in actually putting on a show,? guitarist Ray Toro said in discussing the possible inclusion of live dancers and film projects.

?I think it?s something missing. Bands get on stage, play their songs and have some lights, and that?s cool, but we really want to try to take it to the next level.?

Toro also spoke of new material the band had begun to work on between supporting Green Day on their spring tour. A few of these tracks could pop up in their live shows this year before the band returns to the studio in early 2006, said Toro.

“Playing songs live to gain a reaction to see if it works is kind of risky because for the most part, people just stand there wanting to hear something they know,” he said. “But we plan to try them out and see how they feel.”

Meanwhile, the band is enjoying their meteoric rise to fame.

“It’s like a script,” Toro said. “Everything is going according to plan. It’s pretty nuts.”

Here are the cities for My Chemical Romance?s fall tour:
Columbus, OH
Cleveland, OH
Detroit, MI
Chicago, IL
St. Paul, MN
Milwaukee, WI
St. Louis, MO
Dallas, TX
San Antonio, TX
Houston, TX
Phoenix, AZ
San Diego, CA
Los Angeles, CA
Las Vegas, NV
San Jose, CA
Reno, NV
Orem, UT
Atlanta, GA
