My Chemical Romance with Thrice at the Hollywood Bowl

My Chemical Romance spend Halloween night at the Hollywood Bowl. The band plays the amphitheater on Saturday, October 31, 2026, with Thrice as support, and for a group whose whole aesthetic leans gothic and theatrical, it is hard to imagine a better date on the calendar. It also lands near the top of the things happening in Hollywood this season.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, 7:00 PM Where: Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N Highland Ave, Hollywood, CA 90068 Tickets: Ticketmaster

What to expect

My Chemical Romance made their name on big, dramatic rock with choruses built for a crowd to shout back. The Bowl's shell stage and terraced hillside suit that scale well, and a Halloween show tends to draw plenty of costumes, so expect face paint and black parade jackets in the seats around you.

Thrice come from a different corner of the same scene. The Orange County band is known for heavy, melodic post-hardcore that has grown more adventurous over the years. They make a strong opener for fans who like their guitars loud and their songs a little complicated.

This is one of a few nights the band has booked at the venue this month, so if you are comparing dates, the other shows are listed separately on the site and feature different support acts.

Practical info

Every seat in the Bowl has a workable view, though the upper tiers are a real climb. Bring a layer, since the Hollywood Hills cool off fast once the sun goes down, and plan to arrive early enough to find your seat before Thrice start.

Parking at the venue is limited. Many regulars use the park-and-ride shuttles, rideshare, or the Metro stop at Hollywood and Highland and walk up Highland Avenue. Expect heavy traffic on Halloween night around the 101 and Hollywood Boulevard, so leave extra time.

If you are pulling together a plan for the weekend, this is one of the bigger LA events this weekend for rock fans, and there is plenty nearby to turn it into a full night out in Hollywood.
