Busted and Mcfly announce ‘The Final Battles’ of 2025 UK and Ireland tour

’00s pop-punk favourites Busted and Mcfly have added an extra 21 shows to their 2025 ‘Vs’ tour of the UK and Ireland. 

These additional arena dates have been announced in order to fulfil overwhelming fan demand for a tour that will see the two beloved outfits go head to head; now, they’ve confirmed details of ‘The Final Battles’ - three last shows in Newcastle, Birmingham, and London.  

The news of their joint tour was initially broken by Busted themselves, when they stormed onstage during Mcfly’s recent 21st birthday show at London’s O2 Arena. “Busted gatecrashed our show (not cool), and challenged us to a VS tour next year,” Mcfly have commented. “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 and next year is going to be even better - P.S Busted Suck.”

Biting back, Busted have said: “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!”

The Busted Vs Mcfly Tour will see both bands play 14 cities around the UK and Ireland, performing to a combined total of 110,000 fans in London alone. 

Tickets for ‘The Final Battles’ in Newcastle (October 12th), Birmingham (October 28th) and London (October 30th) go on sale tomorrow (25th October) at 9am here, while very limited tickets for all other shows are also available via the same link.
