My Chemical Romance to headline Download Festival 2020 in Australia

US rock band My Chemical Romance will headline Australia's Download Festival in 2020.

My Chemical Romance announced they had reunited last week after seven years to the delight of their supporters, and now fans in Melbourne and Sydney (and anyone willing to travel there) can catch them at the rock and metal festival performing at Melbourne Showgrounds on Friday, March 20 and Sydney's Parramatta Park on Saturday, March 21.

These are the only planned Australian performances for My Chemical Romance.

Speculation of a reunion began in 2016 when their social media accounts became active for the 10-year anniversary of their third and most critically acclaimed album, The Black Parade. This was followed by new profile pictures on their Facebook and Twitter accounts. Then, last week, they put out their first Instagram post with the caption "Like Phantoms Forever" and a graphic with an LA show announcement.

And now they're headed Down Under!

Also performing at Download Festival will be Deftones, Jimmy Eat World, Clutch, Ministry, In Flames, Testament, Alestorm, Carcass, Lacuna Coil, Hands Like Houses, In Hearts Wake, The HU, Baroness, Ne Obliviscaris, Bodyjar, New Year's Day, Clowns, Venom Prison, SKYND, Distentomb, Thornhill, RedHook, Stand Atlantic, Plini and Dregg,
