Description: A greatest hits tour from pop boys Danny, Tom, Harry and Dougie.
Teenage girls can't get enough of them: McFly
When McFly emerged in 2004 as Busted’s rosier-cheeked siblings, you’d have got long odds that four years and as many albums later they’d be selling out arenas.
But that’s exactly what the lads have done: last night’s show was the penultimate night of a 14-date, sell-out UK tour to promote their latest album, Radio:ACTIVE.
Why the enduring success? Simply because McFly have stuck to what they’re good at: writing catchy pop songs for teenage girls.
And McFly gave them plenty to scream about. One For The Radio had fireworks, catch-all harmonies and a thumping chorus. Elsewhere, Everybody Knows sounded like Busted covering Kiss’s Crazy Nights (without the leathers and make‑up, of course.)
Star Girl was performed 30ft in the air on a stage that travelled to the centre of the arena.
Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones shared vocal duties. Fletcher’s sweeter voice led old favourites All About You and Obviously, while Jones’s tones were reserved for the nu-metal angst of Corrupted and the fist-pumping Lies.
Four more years? You wouldn’t bet against it.
