Four months after announcing its reunion, My Chemical Romance (MCR), the American rock group, has announced a North American reunion tour — its first in nine years.

Plans for the upcoming 18-date trek were revealed on Wednesday morning, days after the band announced a series of European shows set to take place this summer.

On Sept. 9, the tour will kick off in Detroit before concluding a month later in Las Vegas on Oct. 11. Along the way, MCR will play one Canadian gig, on Sept. 14 at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena.

The unexpected announcement was paired with a mysterious video called A Summoning…. The 13-minute short was created and co-produced by MCR frontman Gerard Way and prior to its release, was alluded to by the band for weeks.

While fans are under the impression MCR’s cryptic video might be leading up to the release of new music, earlier this week, the band started using #MCRXX across its social media platforms, suggesting something else may be in the works for its 20th anniversary in 2021.

MCR’s last album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, came out in 2010.

Whether the Black Parade rockers are currently working on new music is currently unclear.

This fall, all four members of the band’s classic lineup — Way, his brother Mikey Way, Ray Toro and Frank Iero — will be heading to Canada after nearly a decade,

Along with touring drummer Jarrod Alexander, MCR reunited for its first show in seven years at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Dec. 20, where they played a full 20-song set in front of more than 6,300 fans.
