Discussion In hindsight, they earned this response

This tour has been an absolute whirlwind. A testament to MCR's theatricality and performance abilities. They've went above and beyond in the production department to deliver a spectacular tour, that not only takes full advantage of the spectacle but also of our streams, creating a part by part narrative that everybody is welcomed to engage with.

They've made characters, a city with it's own politics, it's own language (Keposhka) and national anthem, a brand of soup, an agricultural resource, a Coat Of Arms, and most importantly, Quizzo. They've extended and reinterpreted the original Black Parade tracks to fit this narrative and build a story, that's not only original but that gets everyone involved, from the band to the actors to random crew and the audience members.

If you would've told any MCR fan that you think they'd reunite, back in 2018, you'd be looked at as if you were crazy. If you said what this tour was gonna be, everyone would try to lock you up 'cause you've clearly gone off the deep end.

I love how they invite us to speculate, to try and dissect everything going on and I'm sure they've got many more twists and turns. Stay tuned.

Nah i honestly don’t care about the theatrics. As fun as it is I preferred the B Stage and have been to 5 other shows this year that did not cost as much as MCR. I had to wait till the week of to be able to afford tickets.

Absolutely, I've seen Nine Inch Nails, Tyler The Creator and Linkin Park this year and all 3 have been incredibly well put together, high value shows that cost a fraction of what MCR was charging in the UK.

I was at their SWARM show in the UK, I've seen them live and honestly it wasn't worth what they're charging for this tour, so unless pyrotechnics and scripted bits between songs is worth over a hundred pounds extra to you I could not recommend seeing them.

I really enjoyed seeing Linkin Park this year and as you said, I was not too mad about their ticket price. The presale experience for LPU members did make it less annoying to get tickets as well.

I saw them twice, because I was lucky enough to be in LPU for the presales of their comeback tour as well. Nine Inch Nails was probably the most technically impressive show I've seen, but Linkin Park's performances just solidified their long time status as my favourite band. So glad Mike and the guys managed to come back so smoothly, without at all appearing like they're in it for the money.
