Event Details

Pop rock legends Busted stormed the stage at McFly’s sold out 21st birthday headline show to announce they will be going head to head on tour together next year! Fans got to hear first-hand the exciting news of, no doubt, one of the most highly anticipated tours of 2025.

The Busted vs McFly Tour will see the two groups visit some of the UK’s biggest and best venues, stopping at first direct arena, Leeds on Saturday 27th September, 2025.

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