  • My Chemical Romance Partner With Hot Topic For “The Black Parade” 20th Anniversary

    My Chemical Romance will continue their 20th anniversary celebration for “The Black Parade” through a new partnership with Hot Topic. The collaboration will extend throughout the month.

    More details were shared in a press release:

    “Hot Topic and My Chemical Romance are extending their decades-long history to celebrate The Black Parade (20th Anniversary), arriving October 23 on Reprise Records. Few artists are as closely connected to Hot Topic as My Chemical Romance – as MCR grew into one of the most influential rock bands of its generation, Hot Topic became a destination where fans could discover the band, express their connection to its music and find merchandise inspired by its evolving visual world. It is only fitting that Hot Topic and MCR come back together to celebrate two decades of a monumental work that has since been RIAA-certified 4x Platinum, ranked among Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time,” and inspired fans and artists across generations and genres.

    From October 1 through October 31, the Hot Topic Ovation Hollywood location will be completely transformed into an immersive My Chemical Romance pop-up. The first-of-its-kind takeover will transport fans into the theatrical world of The Black Parade and incorporate Keposhka – the fictional alphabet created for the band’s tour and the world of Draag – throughout the experience. The pop-up features exclusive merchandise, limited-edition giveaways and photo opportunities – including with His Grand Immortal Dictator’s throne from the fictional world of Draag. The monthlong celebration coincides with the finale of My Chemical Romance’s acclaimed The Black Parade 2026 Tour, concluding with an unprecedented five nights at the Hollywood Bowl on October 21, 23, 24, 30 and 31 – making them the first band to perform five consecutive shows at the historic venue.

    Hot Topic stores nationwide will join the celebration with My Chemical Romance storefront artwork, expanded merchandise assortments and a limited-run anniversary shopping bag featuring Keposhka lettering. On October 23, all Hot Topic stores will host a listening party marking the album’s official 20th anniversary, while U.S. stores will release the My Chemical Romance The Black Parade 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (Tan & Black Galaxy) Double Vinyl LP – Hot Topic Exclusive.

    ‘My Chemical Romance has been part of Hot Topic’s fabric—and the lives of our customers—for more than two decades,’ said Andrea Lewis, Hot Topic Vice President of Marketing. ‘With the incredible community that has grown around the band, this celebration feels like a full-circle moment. We’re honored to celebrate 20 years of The Black Parade and give fans across our stores new ways to experience the world MCR has created.’

    The Ovation Hollywood Takeover

    Inspired by the theatrical world of MCR’s The Black Parade 2026 Tour, the Ovation Hollywood takeover will incorporate Keposhka—the fictional alphabet created for the band’s tour and the world of Draag—throughout the experience.
