Last week saw pop rock legends Busted storm the stage at McFly’s sold out 21s tbirthday headline show in London to announce they will be going head to head on tour together next year! The Busted vs McFly Tour will see the two groups visit some of the UK’s biggest and best venues.

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!"
