I imagine this is just something to add to the theatrics and videos they have been posting prior to/during this whole Black Parade Lives cycle. I can see a lot of people being disappointed. (Would happily eat my words)
Kevin Smith used MCR in his last movie Clearly just a reference to the classic movie line "Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms"
Acceptance being the opener for their new tour dates would honestly be an acceptable announcement for me lol
As lead rains we’ll pass on through Our phantoms forever, forever Like scarecrows that fuel this flame We're burning forever and ever
So 9/11/2026 happens to be a Friday…if there was ever a day to release MCR5 (and of course THIS fucking band would have a damn 8.5 month rollout lol)
