Get ready to rock! My Chemical Romance are throwing a party like no other – 'Battery City Underground: Danger Days A Release Party' is set to ignite BOXPARK Wembley on July 9, just a day before the deluxe edition of their iconic album hits the shelves. It's the perfect primer for the band's three sold-out Wembley Stadium shows, and will get fans buzzing ahead of their final two London dates on July 10 and 11.
This is not just any party – it's an immersive experience that will transport attendees back to the world of 'Danger Days', where the album's distinctive aesthetic and narrative reign supreme. With a cracking line-up featuring DJ Sean Smith, alongside special guest appearances from DJ Kobra Kid and DJ Party Poison, you can bet your boots this is going to be a night to remember.
But here's the catch – access to these exclusive tickets comes with a condition: pre-order your deluxe edition by 3pm on Monday, July 6. That's right, if you want in on the action, you'll need to get your hands on a copy of 'Danger Days (Deluxe Edition)' first. Tickets are priced at £5 and will go on sale at 10am on Tuesday, July 7 – so mark those calendars!
The deluxe edition itself is a treasure trove for collectors and fans alike, with various formats to choose from, including 2LP picture disc, zoetrope, and colour vinyl variants, as well as 2CD and cassette editions. And if you're wondering how this all fits into the bigger picture, just remember that My Chemical Romance's UK tour leg kicked off at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium on July 1 – an event marked by Gerard Way's poignant tribute to Liverpool FC and the inclusion of 'Danger Days' track 'Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back' in their setlist.
As a nod to their enduring influence, My Chemical Romance have also shared a 2010 BBC Radio 1 cover of Pulp’s 'Common People', a song that holds significant personal meaning for Gerard Way. The deluxe edition is the perfect opportunity to revisit this iconic album, which was originally released in 2010 and proved to be their final full-length record before their hiatus in 2013 – an album that garnered two NME Awards in 2011.
Since reuniting in 2019, My Chemical Romance have been on fire, releasing their comeback single 'The Foundations Of Decay' in 2022 and sparking whispers of a secret theatre project involving playwright John Cameron Mitchell. Whatever's next for this legendary band, one thing's for sure – they're ending 2023 with a bang, and we can't wait to join the party!
