This pop-punk act is joining dozens of other big names in playing one of its classic albums all the way through on tour -- in this case, the moody 2006 chart-topper "The Black Parade." The band's nostalgia run has a wide canvas, with an Aug. 27, 2026, concert already set for the 50,000-seat Coors Field, including opening act and '90s trailblazers The Breeders, which is enjoying its own comeback in recent years.
