Busted vs McFly 2025 tour tickets: How to get yours and how to enter all the presales

It's been a tumultuous month for pop-punk fans. On the week of October 7, 2024, one of McFly's London O2 Arena shows was gatecrashed by Busted. This performance was a tongue-in-cheek act of aggression, as Busted threw down the gauntlet and challenged McFly to a battle of the bands across the UK in 2025.

The result is an epic tour with both bands headlining kicking off September 2025, where they'll play arenas around the country.On this journey they'll be hitting Birmingham's BP Pulse Live, London's OVO Wembley Arena, Cardiff's Utilita Arena, and plenty more on this enormous 14-date tour.

This double-headline tour is going to be one to remember, especially as both of the bands are adequately warmed up. McFly just finished out their huge arena tour around the country, following Busted's arena tour last year.

Speaking out about this upcoming rambunctious tour, McFly said: "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 bit back, saying: "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!"
