My Chemical Romance has announced ten dates to celebrate the impending 20th anniversary of its groundbreaking rock opera The Black Parade, one of which will be in Tampa.

Tickets to see My Chemical Romance play Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 13 go on sale this Friday. Prices have yet to be announced.

This brief run of shows will see Gerard and Mikey Way, Frank Iero, and Ray Toro perform the 2006 album cover-to-cover, along with the other bangers that made up the playlists of your emo friend’s high school years. While there’s no telling if these shows will be as theatrical as the original Black Parade tour, this run of shows also has different opening acts for each city, with the Tampa show getting alt-metal outfit Evanescence to warm things up.

The last time MyChem rolled into town was in 2011 at the ol’ Gary amphitheater, with Blink-182 on the “Honda Civic” tour. Before that, it had performed at 97X Next Big Thing thrice (with a headlining slot in 2010), opened for Green Day’s American Idiot tour at USF Sun Dome in 2005, and brought its sophomore album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge to Ybor City’s late, great Masquerade.
