My Chemical Romance announced their first US tour in nine years on Wednesday with the Easter egg-packed “A summoning…” video.
Before returning to the stage Dec. 20, My Chemical Romance played what would become their last show at Bamboozle 2012 in their home state of New Jersey.
Tickets for the North American tour went on sale today at 12 PM local time in each city.
Quick sell-outs led to the band adding a second show in Newark, New Jersey as well as two additional dates in Los Angeles, California.

The band have shared a statement about selling the tour out which you can read below.
“My Chemical Romance would like to thank their Killjoys across North America for selling out 228,600 tickets in under six hours. Fans from the U.S. and Canada acted quickly, as tickets went on sale today at 12 PM local time and were gone long before the day’s end….”you’ve worn out all your dance shoes, this time.””
Iero has also shared a message of his own regarding the tour selling out which you can see below.
The quick sell-out isn’t entirely surprising given the hype around the reunion since their first show back was announced. They also swiftly sold out three shows in the UK with a run of other European shows as well as New Zealand, Australia and Japan scheduled right now.
The band’s first show back ended up selling out even quicker than the tour. Fans trying to get into the first reunion show faced tickets selling out in at most three to four minutes.
A lot of fans were unable to get tickets due to various issues with Ticketmaster leading to resale tickets climbing by hundreds of dollars.
