961 days ago, Riot Fest announced My Chemical Romance was coming to Douglass Park.

The followers of The Black Parade waited 2 years, 7 months, and 18 days for Gerard Way & company to bring their band of misfit toys to Chicago’s premier music festival, and the end result was nothing short of exquisite. MCR ripped through 17 songs and played 2 encores in a performance that fans have been waiting for for approximately 83,030,400 seconds.

The band closed with a surprise second encore, the song “Cancer”, which was not written on the setlist.
