Last year, when the ’00s icons took the stage they often opened their shows playing the heavy yet bombastic “The Black Parade” in its entirety before dipping into their well and playing other stone-cold classics from their back catalog like “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na),” “Helena” and “I’m Not Okay (I Promise),” based on our findings at Set List FM.
Yet, that barely scratches the surface of what the actual “high concept” concert experience was like.
“[MCR’s] return has been chock-full of spectacles – staged suicide bombers, ‘elexecutions,’ and a whirlwind of pyrotechnics make their Long Live The Black Parade tour a showcase of the band’s lasting theatrical brilliance,” Atwood Magazine gushed in a review of a July 2025 concert in Los Angeles.
“[The] band managed never to appear overly nostalgic [toward] ‘The Black Parade,’ nor desperate to cling onto its popularity. There was much more thematic ground to cover in such a spanning record, and this tour allows them the magnitude with which to do that.”

In 2025, Way teamed up with Fender’s Michael Schulz (guitar), and The Interrupters‘ Kevin Bivona (keys/production), Jesse Bivona (drums), and Aimee Interrupter (backing vocals) to release the fist-pumping, punk single “I Wanna Know Your Name,” which was engineered by the late MCR collaborator Doug McKean, who passed away in 2022.
The group is known as The Mock Ups. No word yet on if more will come from the band.
More recently, Way joined forces with Frozen Soul for the eerie, heart-thumping metal banger “No Place of Warmth.”
