My Chemical Romance announces plans for new album in 2027

During a performance at the Hollywood Bowl, My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way announced that the band intends to record a new album in 2027. Way informed the crowd that the group will likely reduce their concert schedule next year to focus on the recording process, with a potential return to touring in 2028.

The band has not released a full studio album since 2010’s “Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys,” though they released the single “The Foundations of Decay” in 2022.

The Hollywood Bowl shows also featured a reunion with Bert McCracken, the frontman of The Used, who joined the band onstage for the first time since 2005. The performances included a rare track from the band’s 2010 catalog.
