Attendees at today’s (September 19th) ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival in Louisville, KY got the word first via a video package and a local marching band that emo rock champions My Chemical Romance will be headlining next year’s ‘Welcome To Rockville‘, ‘Sonic Temple‘ and ‘Louder Than Life‘ festivals.
As with their touring this year, their time onstage at those Danny Wimmer Presents-backed festivals will find the New Jersey band celebrating their 4x platinum third studio album, 2006’s “The Black Parade“.
Next year’s ‘Welcome To Rockville‘ will be held May 07th to 10th at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, FL. The 2026 ‘Sonic Temple‘ festival will take place at the Historic Crew Stadium in Columbus, OH from May 14th-17th. The dates for next year’s ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival have yet to be announced.
Footage of the announcement being made from the stage of the ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival today can be seen below. Meanwhile, this week has already seen further apparent stops of the band’s ‘Long Live The Black Parade Tour‘ being teased for 2026.
