McFly and Busted are set to embark on a joint tour in 2025.
The news follows a surprise announcement during McFly’s 21st birthday show at London’s O2 Arena, with the ‘Busted vs McFly’ seeing the two groups performing across the UK and Ireland, starting on 16th September 2025 at Birmingham’s bp pulse Live arena.
McFly comment: “Busted gatecrashed our show last night (not cool), and challenged us to a VS tour next year. They’re old men now, and we are gonna blow them and their carers off the stage next year. We’ve had a great time celebrating our 21st birthday this week and next year is going to be even better – P.S Busted Suck.”
In response, Busted add: “There’s been a lot of talk recently…. This is where the talking ends….! We are ready to show who is the better band once and for all. McFly suck and Busted Rock!”
