The 00s were a magical time for music, and it seems like that magic is making a comeback. That's right, the popular supergroup from the 00s has officially announced their reunion! While time travel may not be possible yet, their upcoming series of concerts next year might be the closest thing to it.
Last night, during their 21st birthday celebrations in London, the beloved band McFly surprised their fans with a very special performance. James Bourne, Charlie Simpson, and Matt Willis, also known as Busted, joined them on stage and announced their reunion with all of their past band members and collaborators. It was a moment that fans have been waiting for, for almost a decade.
But the real surprise came when Busted challenged McFly to a face-off. That's right, the ultimate 2025 Busted vs McFly tour. The fans were left in shock and excitement as Busted declared, "The challenge is yours if you choose to accept it." But what exactly is this challenge?
Well, it turns out that the 14-date tour is all about finding out who the better band is. And they're leaving it up to the fans to make that tough decision. James, Charlie, and Matt make up Busted, while Danny, Tom, Dougie, and Harry make up McFly. And for the first time in almost a decade, they'll be reuniting as McBusted.
According to the band, "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." The stakes are high, and the fans are already buzzing with anticipation.
Matt took the opportunity to address the fans and express how long overdue this reunion was. He even joked, "There's a massive crossover in the fanbases, but secretly, I think everyone likes Busted more." The love and camaraderie between the two bands were clearly evident, and it was a heartwarming moment for everyone present.
The tour will kick off on September 16 next year in Birmingham and will be a celebration of McFly's 21st anniversary. Tickets for McBusted's 2025 shows will go on sale Friday, October 18. It's a dream come true for fans who have been waiting for this moment for so long.
It's no surprise that these two bands have a long history of collaborating. McFly first toured as the support act for Busted in 2004, which not only launched their friendships but also catapulted McFly into stardom. In 2013, as part of McFly's 10th anniversary tour, Matt and James joined them on stage as special guests, and that's when they announced they would be forming a six-person group, now known as McBusted.
Unfortunately, Charlie left Busted in 2005, ultimately leading to the group's split. He did not participate in McBusted's 11-date 2014 tour, which featured songs from both Busted and McFly's catalog. However, he did return to the Busted lineup in 2015, and the group has been going strong since then.
While McBusted was a supergroup, they embarked on multiple tours and even supported One Direction on their 2015 On The Road Again tour. But in 2016, they announced the end of the supergroup, and both bands went on to tour separately. However, there seemed to be no hard feelings, and they always spoke highly of their time together in interviews.
Then, in 2023, to mark the 20th anniversary of Busted, McFly joined them on the track "Thunderbirds 2.0," their first collaboration since the split. It was a moment that left fans hopeful for a reunion, and now, their dreams have finally come true.
