My Chemical Romance hint at 2027 album during Hollywood Bowl show

Gerard Way revealed that the band want to record a new album in 2027 and hinted that they hope to return to the stage in 2028. Way made the comments during the band's Devil's Night concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 30, the first of two special Halloween weekend performances at the venue. A new album would be the band's first since 2010's Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys.

The band have released just one new song since their comeback, The Foundations Of Decay, in 2022. At the Friday Hollywood Bowl concert, My Chemical Romance performed We Don't Need Another Song About California live for the first time. The Friday concert opened with Prelude To The End, the band's new animated short film featuring voice contributions from Billie Eilish, Phoebe Bridgers and more.

At the Friday Hollywood Bowl concert, MCR reunited onstage with The Used frontman Bert McCracken for the first time since 2005. The Hollywood Bowl residency has seen MCR become the first group to play five consecutive nights at the historic Los Angeles venue. MCR scored their first UK Number One album with The Black Parade, 20 years after its original release.
