Busted vs McFly

Busted and McFly have announced that they will be going head to head on 2025’s biggest and most unmissable tour! Fans got to hear first-hand the exciting news last night when Busted stormed the stage at McFly’s sold out 21st birthday headline show at the O2 in London!

The Busted vs McFly Tour will see the two groups kick off the tour at bp pulse LIVE on 16 September 2025. 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.

Speaking of the tour, McFly threw down the gauntlet and 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 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!
