MCR plan theatrical tour

Gerard Way says My Chemical Romance's next UK tour will be far more theatrical, bringing 'The Black Parade' to life, with dates from 20 to 29 March.

My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way has spoken to NME.com about his band's upcoming UK tour, and says that their new show will be far more dramatic than their recent, more low key UK shows.

The singer said: "We're a very theatrical band and we didn't show up with a lot of production on this tour because we wanted to keep it scaled down to do the show next year and really bring 'The Black Parade'. We were concerned about that, and the crowd made us realise that what's special about us isn't that stuff. 'The Black Parade' has got to be something much much bigger. We're trying to really bring the record to life in a live setting which isn't something we can do right now. These shows are really saying hello, hey it's cool, we're back, thanks for supporting us, we're gonna play a lot of new songs for you guys."

The dates of next year's tour, as previously reported, are as follows:

20 Mar: Plymouth Pavillions

21 Mar: Brighton Centre

22 Mar: Birmingham NIA Academy

24 Mar: Manchester MEN

25 Mar: Cardiff CIA

26 Mar: Nottingham Arena

27 Mar: Glasgow SECC

29 Mar: London Wembley Arena
