Busted and McFly Announce 2025 Joint UK and Ireland Tour

Fans of the iconic British pop rock bands Busted and McFly are eagerly anticipating a joint headline arena tour set for 2025 across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Described as “the ultimate battle of the bands,” the tour will see both groups take to the stage together for the first time, with all members present.

The tour is scheduled to begin on 16 September in Birmingham before making its way to major cities including London, Cardiff, Sheffield, and Leeds. Additionally, the bands will perform in Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Dublin, and Belfast. This marks a return to live performances for the groups, who previously toured as a supergroup under the name McBusted, which notably did not include Busted’s Charlie Simpson.

Tickets for the events are expected to be highly sought after, given the full involvement of all original members of both bands. They are set to go on general sale at 9 am on 18 October, following a series of presales. Fan presales have already occurred via the bands’ official channels, with additional presales offered through O2 Priority and Three+ services.

The pricing structure for the shows has been confirmed, reflecting the scale and interest in this reunion. Though specific prices for all venues have not been disclosed, fans have been advised that the seating plans will be relatively similar across different locations, allowing them to plan their ticket purchases accordingly.

The announcement of additional dates in Nottingham, London, and Cardiff highlights the significant demand for tickets since the initial reveal of the tour schedule. Those interested in attending are advised to prepare for quick sales once general tickets become available, as past presales quickly reached capacity.
