Emo Night Presents: My Chemical Romance Forever (JHB)

It’s officially 10 years of Emo Night South Africa, and what better way to kick off the celebration than a night dedicated to My Chemical Romance’s The Black Parade!

2026 is going to be a year of celebrating how far we’ve come (and where we’re going): more cities, bigger ideas, scaled up like you’ve never seen before.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Black Parade (I know), we’re playing the entire album in full at midnight, so LEARN THOSE LYRICS!

What else can you expect?

• Tattoo stations with My Chemical Romance flash
• Professional photography to capture your first highlights of 2026
• A piñata filled with secret goodies (we’re so serious)
• MCR deep cuts, their contemporaries, influences, and the bands they inspired including Fall Out Boy, The Used, Hawthorne Heights, Hail The Sun, Bring Me The Horizon, Stray From The Path, Arms Length, Thursday, Simple Plan, Modern Baseball, Magnolia Park, A Day To Remember, AFI, Free Throw, and more! (Consider this your pre-Calabash warm up)

Oh, and come dressed in your best Black Parade regalia. We promise it’ll be worth your while.
