This year McFly celebrated their 10th anniversary and marked it with a stunning performance at the Royal Albert Hall. During this performance the fans were treated to a special appearance by Busted members James Bourne and Matt Willis. During their surprise appearance Busted along with McFly sang 3 songs: Year 3000, Air Hostess and Shine a Light. This then sparked rumours of a comeback for Busted.
On November 11th 2013 McBusted announced a 11 date tour in 2014. On the 14th November 2013 the tickets went on sale and within minutes they had sold out. This led to the band announcing six more tour dates which then sold out just as quickly. On the 17th November they added another four bringing the total dates up to 20. Not long after this more dates were added finally bringing up the total to 34 tour dates.
Shortly after this McBusted made their first television appearance on Children in Need singing a medley of songs.
On the 20th May, i got the amazing opportunity to see the boys in concert with my amazing friend (it was the best 21st birthday present i could have wished for). We saw them play at Nottingham and it lived up to the expectation we had built up the months before hand.
The atmosphere as we walked into the arena was immense and you could feel the excitement from all the people in the crowd, and everyone in the crowd that we spoke to was lovely and very well mannered which made the experience so much better.
The 3 support acts were good but the best of the 3 were Hollywood Ending (i will do a separate post on these later on). After they had performed it was finally time for MCBUSTED. Entering in a delorean Matt and James were the first to enter the stage and with a puff of smoke and some trap door up popped Mcfly.
One of the best bits of the concert was when they were on their spaceship in the middle of the arena and Dougie interacted with the crowd. (Dougie and Matt are my fave). Whilst on the spaceship Dougie's guitar broke and someone was invited to go and play bass with him ( this was then immediately shot down by security as it was deemed dangerous).
Finally after many more hits by the boys and Jackson 5 the best song in my opinion was played (year 3000) and with this came confetti cannons, and epicness (what else to expect from one of their biggest songs during their combined years in the music business).
This brings me to the end of this post, i hope you have enjoyed it and that my photography skills weren't too bad. I had to limit this post as i could have written much more about the tour because it was so good. So this is me signing off as im going to the Year 3000 to Crash a wedding.. (i hope you liked what i did there ;) )
