If you thought My Chemical Romance’s Long Live The Black Parade UK tour was going to be a predictable victory lap, you clearly underestimated how much this band loves to reward their most dedicated fans.
Yes, we are getting the theatrical masterpiece of The Black Parade performed in its entirety on the main stage every night. But it’s what happens after the final notes fade out that has the entire fandom on the edge of their seats.
Once the main set concludes, the band descend upon the B-stage for a second set composed entirely of rotating tracks from across their discography. No two nights are the same, no era is safe, and there is absolutely no telling what they might unearth next.
The Chaos So Far
MCR has made it clear that they are digging incredibly deep into the archives for this B-stage lottery. Just look at what they’ve unleashed on the UK so far:
- Liverpool (Anfield):
Vampire Money
Heaven Help Us
Summertime
Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back – tour debut
Cemetery Drive - Glasgow (Bellahouston Park):
Bury Me In Black
It’s Not A Fashion Statement, It’s A Fucking Deathwish
Ambulance – live debut
Our Lady Of Sorrows
Hang ‘Em High
What Will They Play Tonight?
With the tour rolling into London and beyond, the anticipation is at an all-time high. Because MCR is treating the B-stage like a blank canvas, the possibilities for tonight’s setlist are endless.
Are you heading to the show tonight, or aggressively refreshing the setlist updates from home? What is the ultimate, rarest deep cut you are manifesting for the B-stage? Let’s speculate on our social media!
