My Chemical Romance fans are in for a treat.

The Gerard Way fronted rock band announced on Instagram that they are getting back together for a reunion show in December, the group's first performance since 2012.

“Like Phantoms Forever," the group captioned their announcement poster Thursday, referring to the band's 2000 EP. The black-and-white poster featured the word, "Return."

My Chemical Romance will perform at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles on Dec. 20. Tickets for the show go on sale Friday. "Are you excited?!" the caption added.

The band, best known for the hits "Welcome To The Black Parade," "Helena" and "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)," split in 2013 after more than a decade together.

"Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We've gotten to go places we never knew we would. We've been able to see and experience things we never imagined possible. We've shared the stage with people we admire, people we look up to, and best of all, our friends," the group said in a statement on March 2013. "And now, like all great things, it has come time for it to end. Thanks for all of your support, and for being part of the adventure."
