Gerard Way announces massive 2015 London show

Gerard Way has added a last minute date to his first ever solo headline tour.

With tickets on sale today, the former My Chemical Romance frontman has confirmed that he’ll play London’s Brixton Academy on 23rd January.

This show follows on from a run of dates in November 2014, culminating in the slightly smaller London haunt Koko (which appears to have sold out).

He’s also set to play Manchester, Oxford, Glasgow and Cardiff.

Debut album ‘Hesitant Alien’ is streaming in full as of this week - it’s out 29th September on Warner Bros.

Speaking as part of DIY’s August 2014 cover feature, Gerard discussed the album. “Definitely each song is its own thing this time. They’re all connected by a sense of alienation and the idea that figuring out where I fit into music was realising that I don’t exactly fit into music, and that’s kinda how I fit… That’s my role; my role is to be myself and super-unique and not worry about how I fit in. Not in an outsider, rebellious way, but in a celebratory way, saying ‘I’m different, this is what I do, and there’s nobody that does this like I do it, so I’m gonna be the best me I can be.’”
