Busted and McFly fans take note, because 2025 will see a Busted vs McFly joint arena tour, where the two bands will co-headline together – and tickets are on sale today as of 9am!
The exciting news was broken at McFly's 20th anniversary show at London's O2 arena, when Busted crashed the stage to challenge them to a head-to-head battle.

The bands already collaborated as a supergroup back in 2014 as McBusted, much to the delight of many Noughties music fans. And now they're back.
McFly have made their position about the “battle” between the two bands clear in a statement: “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.“
And of course, Busted responded: “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 whole tour is to find out who’s a better band. Fans can decide. They can come and support their band and they might change their mind. It’s going to be a fight to the death.”
Enough said.
We've ‘been waiting patiently’ for them to come and tour.
