Busted and McFly (pictured) have announced a head-to-head joint tour for 2025.
The two British pop-punk bands have scheduled 14 co-headline arena shows across the UK and Ireland between September 16 and October 21, billed as Busted vs McFly.
They'll kick off the run at Birmingham's BP Pulse Live, before heading to London's OVO Arena Wembley and the O2 Arena, then Cardiff, Sheffield, Leeds, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Liverpool, Newcastle, Nottingham, Manchester, Dublin and Belfast. Tickets go on general sale at 9am on October 18.
McFly announced the dates during the first of their two consecutive sold-out 21st birthday headline shows at the O2 Arena in London last night. Check out the video below. They later commented:
"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."
Busted retorted: "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!"
McFly released their latest album, 'Power To Play', in 2023. Busted put out 'Greatest Hits 2.0' that same year, followed by an extended edition titled 'Greatest Hits 2.0 Another Present For Everyone' and a live edition, both of which came out this January.
