My Chemical Romance plans new album for 2027

Vocalist Gerard Way announced that My Chemical Romance intends to focus on recording a new studio album throughout 2027. During a performance at the Hollywood Bowl on October 30, 2026, Way informed fans that the band will likely refrain from performing live concerts during the recording period.

This potential hiatus from touring aims to allow the group to concentrate entirely on new musical material. Way expressed hope that the band will be able to reunite with their audience in 2028. If the project moves forward, it would mark the band's fifth studio album and their first full-length release since 2010.

Separately, the band's 20th anniversary deluxe reissue of The Black Parade has reached number one on the Billboard 200 for the first time, setting a record for the longest duration taken for an album to reach the top spot.
