Following an opening performance by Thursday, Frank Iero, Gerard WayMikey Way and Ray Toro took to the stage with Jarrod Alexander on drums.

The group kicked things off with a new angel-adorned curtain as audio references to their albums played including “Look alive, sunshine” and the opening dialogue of the “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” video before launching into the Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge track.

Their setlist was packed full of fan favorites like we knew it would be. Fans donned their black eyeliner and My Chemical Romance attire, as the band performed track after track of classic and timeless songs from throughout their entire discography.

More on My Chemical Romance’s reunion

They said it would never happen, but then it did on Halloween. Activity began on a new Instagram account for My Chemical Romance with posts surfacing shortly after fans began speculating Iero’s Oct. 30 Instagram post was about more than the weather.

“it’s reported that it’s going to rain in new jersey tomorrow, washing out all Halloween festivities…” Iero posted. “Guess we’re gonna have to find something else to do.”

 

At 2 p.m. ET Oct. 31, the band’s Facebook page changed their profile picture to a black candle, beginning an hour filled with teases and speculation. Read the rest of the return details from Halloween here.
