My Chemical Romance appear to be teasing a June 2020 UK concert

My Chemical Romance have seemingly revealed they’re playing a UK show – or shows – this coming June.

The recently reunited Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Mikey Way and Frank Iero first started hinting at UK activity on 3rd January when they tweeted a hooded skeletal figure alongside an emoji of the Union Jack.

Last night (9th January) My Chemical Romance continued to tease their legions of fans when they posted a 12-second video to their social channels alongside a skull emoji.

The video features a series of mysterious icons - including the Union Jack - and symbols that eagle-eyed fans quickly deciphered as being from the Theban Alphabet – a writing system first published in Johannes Trithemius's ‘Polygraphia’ book in 1518 and used by early modern occultists.

According to My Chemical Fancast and their Twitter followers, some of the icons spell out the word ‘June’ and point towards live activity this summer – however, it’s unclear whether it’s June 10th or 12th.

The second of those two dates is the Friday at Download Festival, however it’s extremely unlikely My Chemical Romance will play as KISS, Iron Maiden and System of a Down have already been unveiled as the headliners for the Donington Park extravaganza.

Fans are now speculating that it’s a standalone My Chemical Romance headline UK show – or possibly shows.

We’ll wait with fervent anticipation for official confirmation from the MCR camp.

My Chemical Romance officially confirmed their reformation after six-and-a-half long years away on 31st October when they announced a reunion show at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles for Friday 20th December.

Unsurprisingly, the triumphant Los Angeles gig sold out in nanoseconds and the following week, My Chemical Romance announced additional shows in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

My Chemical Romance in their imperious live glory:

My Chemical Romance’s last UK show took place at Leeds Festival almost nine years ago on 27th August 2011. They also played sister event Reading Festival, and T in the Park that summer.
