The Busted vs McFly Tour will see the two groups visit some of the UK’s biggest and best venues including Connect Yorkshire member first direct arena, Leeds on 27 September 2025.

Speaking of the tour, McFly threw down the gauntlet and commented: “Busted gate crashed our show (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.

Busted fought back and added: 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! It’s been over 20 years since both band’s formed and they are still two of the most loved and successful British bands, inspiring many other artists over the past few decades.

Renowned for high energy high school pop-punk, Busted and McFly have dominated the charts over the last 2 decades.  Busted, famed for hits ‘What I Go To School For’, ‘Year 3000’ and ‘Crashed The Wedding’ have seen multiple sold out tours and filled arenas across the world.

McFly’s journey have seen them amass smash hits such as, ‘Obviously’, Five Colours IN Her Hair’ and ‘Star Girl’, have scored seven top 10 albums and sold out countless shows and remain the youngest band to ever have a debut album to straight to number 1.
