A fan on r/shakyknees posted a photo of a bright red memento being handed out in the crowd — a simple, clever cue card asking festival-goers to make the audience glow red during My Chemical Romance’s performance of “Helena.”
The card’s copy says: “GIVE MCR A SO LONG & GOODNIGHT” and instructs people to “HOLD THIS OVER YOUR PHONE’S FLASHLIGHT DURING HELENA TO MAKE THE CROWD GLOW RED FOR MCR!” It’s a low-tech, high-impact fan moment — exactly the kind of coordinated gesture that turns a festival set into an unforgettable communal scene.
- Keep the card over your phone’s flashlight
- Turn the flashlight on during the opening of “Helena”
- Raise the light together to create a sea of red
Fan-driven visuals like this are festival folklore in the making — not an official production effect, but a grassroots way to amplify a song’s emotional peak. Expect clips and photos from the moment to start circulating online if they haven’t already.
