My Chemical Romance have announced a London release party to celebrate the upcoming deluxe edition of ‘Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys’.
The seminal pop-punk band announced the re-release of their fourth and most recent studio album in May, with the original 2010 record being made available alongside a host of bonus material. Formats include 2LP picture disc, zoetrope and colour vinyl variants, as well as 2CD and cassette editions. Pre-order it here.
Now, they have announced ‘Battery City Underground: Danger Days A Release Party’, which will take place at BOXPARK Wembley on July 9, one day before the reissue is released.
The event will also fall during MCR’s run of three sold-out Wembley Stadium shows, ahead of the final two London dates on July 10 and 11.
Presented by BL/ind, the night will feature DJ Sean Smith, alongside special guest appearances from DJ Kobra Kid and DJ Party Poison, inviting fans back into the world of ‘Danger Days’.
Fans can gain access to purchase tickets by pre-ordering a copy of ‘Danger Days (Deluxe Edition)’ by 3pm on Monday (July 6). Tickets cost £5 and go on sale at 10am on Tuesday (July 7) here.
A UK exclusive BL/ind Edition CD of the reissue is also available to pre-order, featuring exclusive artwork and presented in a card wallet with an insert. Find that here.
My Chemical Romance opened the UK leg of their 2026 tour at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium earlier this week (July 1), where Gerard Way paid homage to Liverpool FC and the band dusted off ‘Danger Days’ track ‘Save Yourself, I’ll Hold Them Back’.
In a five-star review of the show, NME described the band as “prodigal sons of emo” and said they delivered “an assured performance that highlights how much more is being offered here than pop-punk nostalgia, the grit of Way’s vocals always remaining the main attraction.”
They have also previewed the ‘Danger Days’ reissue by sharing their 2010 BBC Radio 1 cover of Pulp’s ‘Common People’, with Way previously recalling how important the song was to him and bassist Mikey Way growing up in New Jersey.
“It was very relevant to us, feeling like you were in a place you could never get out of, that you were never going to escape,” he said at the time. “I remember pushing carts at a supermarket listening to this song on headphones on a cassette player and wondering whether the hell I was ever going to get out of New Jersey.”
‘Danger Days’ was the band’s fourth studio album and it nabbed them two big wins at the 2011 NME Awards. It would turn out to be their final full-length release before their 2013 split. They reunited in 2019 and released comeback single ‘The Foundations Of Decay’ in 2022.
Earlier this year, it was also reported that My Chemical Romance were working on a secret theatre project, after playwright and actor John Cameron Mitchell said he had a “project for theatre” in development with the band.
