American rock band My Chemical Romance performed at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Thursday 16 March 2023 as part of their Australian Tour – their first return downunder since the Big Day Out festival in 2012. Formed in New Jersey during 2001, MCR has since released four studio albums, two live albums, three compilation albums, six extended plays, and 26 singles to date.
They are considered one of the most influential rock groups of the 2000s and a major act in the pop-punk and emo genres. My Chem currently comprises lead singer Gerard Way, lead guitarist Ray Toro, rhythm guitarist Frank Iero, bassist Mikey Way, and touring musicians Jarrod Alexander on drums, and Jamie Muhoberac on keyboards.
