apparently the year for reunions of bands long believed “dead”. It’s welcome news coming in stark contrast against what 2020 has dealt us so far: crime being decriminalised in the US, more conflict in the Middle East, climate change calamities and now, an epidemic.

As an instrument of the masses, music captures the zeitgeist and echoes each generation’s voices. Meanwhile, nostalgia is solace for the soul in dark times. The return of these musical acts is well-timed, for there is a wealth of commentary that is ripe for the picking. Unsurprisingly, tickets are selling out faster than you can say “cash grab”.

THIS IS

My Chemical Romance

In spite of its members’ copious use of black eyeliner, nail polish and hea wrenching lyrics, My Chemical Romance has always rejected the ‘emo’ label applied to its music. Neve heless, it remained an iconic representation of the punk rock-inspired acts that dominated the airwaves during the noughties, which is why news of its reunion was met with thunderous joy. Frontman Gerard Way may have kept himself busy with projects like Ne lix’s The Umbrella Academy and his solo act with The Hormones, but his return to the stage with MCR will be his most celebrated venture yet.

Rage Against The Machine

Pundits may have remarked how 2020 would be the pe ect time for Rage Against The Machine to reunite, but no one expected it to actually happen. The band has long been known for working he y amounts of social commentary into its lyrics, and have made no effo to conceal its anti-establishment rhetoric. When even a comedy show like Saturday Night Live pulls the plug on your pe ormance and chases you out of the studio, you know you’ve touched a raw nerve. The band is preparing to hit the road in March. Expect plenty of raw vitriol just waiting to be served.
