My Chemical Romance are heading back into the desert.
The band has announced Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys (Deluxe Edition), an expanded reissue of their neon-blasted 2010 fourth album, due July 10, 2026 via Reprise Records. The new edition will feature remastered versions of the original album’s 12 tracks, newly reimagined artwork, and nine bonus cuts — many of which are arriving on vinyl and most streaming services for the first time.
To kick off the rollout, MCR have released “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) (Recorded For BBC Radio 1),” a 2010 live version of the album’s gasoline-slick lead single. It joins a bonus-track lineup that includes “Zero Percent,” “We Don’t Need Another Song About California,” “F.T.W.W.W,” “Mastaa of Ravenkroft,” “Black Dragon Fighting Society,” a BBC Radio 1 version of Pulp’s “Common People,” and live iTunes Festival 2011 takes of “SING” and “The Kids From Yesterday.”
Originally released on November 22, 2010, Danger Days marked one of the boldest left turns in My Chemical Romance’s catalog: a high-concept, post-apocalyptic California rock opera that swapped some of The Black Parade’s funeral-march grandeur for laser guns, outlaw mythology, glam-punk color, and a radio transmission from the end of the world. Produced by the band with Rob Cavallo, the album debuted in the Top 10 in the U.S. and topped Billboard’s Rock and Alternative Albums charts, according to the band’s announcement.
The reissue also arrives with a fresh victory lap: Danger Days, “SING,” and “Na Na Na” have all now been certified Platinum in the U.S. by the RIAA, giving the band’s most polarizing major-era album a belated commercial coronation.
The deluxe package will be released digitally and physically in several formats, including multiple 2LP configurations — picture disc, zoetrope, and color vinyl variants — along with 2CD and cassette editions. My Chemical Romance’s official store is already listing several deluxe formats, including exclusive zoetrope vinyl, picture disc vinyl, pink starburst vinyl, and an alternate-cover 2CD edition. Those editions can be found here.
The timing is hardly accidental. Next month, MCR launch the UK and European leg of The Black Parade 2026 tour, including three nights at Wembley Stadium, before bringing the run to North America in August. The U.S. dates include a stop at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium on August 13 and a massive Los Angeles finale at the Hollywood Bowl, where the venue currently lists five MCR shows between October 21 and October 31. Tickets and dates can be found here.
For a band that has spent the past several years turning its own mythology into stadium-scale ritual, Danger Days suddenly looks less like the strange outlier and more like the blueprint: loud colors, doomed heroes, comic-book stakes, and a world burning beautifully in the background.
