My Chemical Romance surprised fans at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, Scotland, on Saturday, by performing the song “Ambulance” live for the first time. The track, originally released on the 2013 compilation Conventional Weapons, had never been played during a concert prior to the Glasgow set.
The History of “Ambulance”
“Ambulance” was recorded during the sessions for the band’s planned follow-up to their 2006 The Black Parade. The tracks intended for that project were ultimately scrapped as the group shifted their creative direction. This transition led to the development of their fourth album, 2010’s Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.
The songs from those abandoned sessions were later compiled and released as Conventional Weapons in 2013.
Why the Glasgow Performance Stood Out
This specific performance served as the live debut for the track.
Fan-filmed footage of the performance quickly circulated online, documenting the band’s decision to integrate the song into their live repertoire. The setlist at Bellahouston Park was part of a broader string of dates.
Looking Ahead at Tour Dates
Following their European run, My Chemical Romance have an upcoming US tour, which kicks off August 9th in Queens, New York.
Fans looking to catch the band live can monitor official ticketing platforms for updates on future appearances.
