Gallery: My Chemical Romance at Soldier Field

Maybe you’ve heard about My Chemical Romance’s ongoing Long Live The Black Parade Tour, which has been skirting across the United States since kicking off in Seattle in July. It’s the band’s first-ever stadium tour, a production with a new tale from their emo classic, The Black Parade, woven into it. Our very own Tatiana Tenreyro went to the New Jersey date last month, writing, “We already knew Gerard [Way] had an innate ability to create fictional worlds—just look at his comic book work, like The Umbrella Academy and The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (a series that was a continuation of the story from MCR’s last album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys). But creating a fictional world for a tour—not even an album—that feels both eerily real and absolutely absurd is a next-level achievement.”

She continued, “I still left MetLife in awe of what I’d just witnessed. I pored over every fan theory, trying to decipher the narrative created by Gerard. But even as I admittedly haven’t figured out all the pieces to the story of Draag, being part of one of Gerard’s fantasy worlds was such a gift. Paper Kingdom may never arrive, but if whatever MCR has in store is just as thrilling as this tour—if not more—it’ll be worth the wait.” Over the weekend, My Chemical Romance stopped at Soldier Field to bring nearly three hours of music to the people of Chicago. Our photographer Kris Lori Fuentes Cortes was on-site capturing the action. Check out our official gallery below.
