My Chemical Romance have announced that they will play sets at Download Festival Australia and Japan 2020, as well as a headline show in New Zealand.
Download Festival Australia takes place 20 and 21 March 2020, and also features Deftones, Jimmy Eat World, In Flames, and more. Download Festival Japan takes place 29 March 2020, and shares some of the Australia festival’s lineup. The full lineup for both festivals is yet to be announced.
The band announced their surprise reunion with a tweet last week, on Halloween. The reunion gig, taking place 20 December this year, sold out in less than half an hour. The extra dates were also posted on the band’s Twitter – confirming that the group aren’t just getting back together for the single LA gig.
