My Chemical Romance have added new UK dates to their 2022 tour itinerary.

Following on from their three previously-announced, and long sold-out, shows at Stadium MK in Milton Keynes, and a proposed show at the Eden Sessions in Cornwall, Gerard Way’s reunited New Jersey emo kingpins will now play a second night in Cornwall (May 16), plus gigs in Warrington (May 27), Cardiff (May 28) and Glasgow (May 30).

Tickets for the new dates are on sale from December 10. Local residents in Warrington will have access to a pre-sale for the  May 27 gig: residents of postcodes WA1, WA2, WA3, WA4 and WA5 will be able to purchase tickets from 10am on December 9.
