I skipped England's World Cup game for My Chemical Romance – and I've got no regrets
The writer chose to attend My Chemical Romance’s Black Parade anniversary tour at Wembley instead of watching England’s World Cup match, describing an elaborate, theatrical performance with strong visuals, storytelling and standout musical moments. The show featured dystopian themes, pyrotechnics, and a surprise second set with major hits, supported by notable vocal performances from Lucy Joy Altus and Charlotte Kelso. England’s later victory did not diminish the experience, which the writer considered unforgettable.
