My Chemical Romance are set to play four UK Arena shows this Autumn including a date at London's O2 Arena in November.

Gerard Way and co. will kick their jaunt off in Newcastle's Metro Radio Arena on November 11 taking in Aberdeen and Sheffield before capping it off with the final show at London's O2 Arena on November 11.

Tickets to all the shows go on sale at 9am this Friday (August 3) and are available from the Xfm Xchange on 0871 222 1049 or from the Xfm Online Ticket Shop by clicking here.

The tour follows what has been a fantastic year for the emo kings who saw their latest album 'The Black Parade' sell over 3 million copies worldwide, 500,000 of which were in the UK.

In the meantime, Gerard Way is reportedly busy writing a new comic book series entitled 'Umbrella Academy'.

The six edition long series - which is due out on September 19 - focuses on a central character Sir Reginald Hargreeves, with publishers Dark Horse describing him as "world-renowned scientist and inventor, intrepid adventurer, successful entrepreneur, champion cricketer, and closet space-alien." Obviously.

The full UK tour dates is as follows:

  • Newcastle (November 11)
  • Aberdeen AECC (12)
  • Sheffield Hallam FM Arena (13)
  • London O2 Arena (15)
