Halestorm PR/SuppliedBusted and McFly – two of the biggest pop-rock bands of the 2000s – are to face off against each other as part of a UK tour next year.
Two decades on from the formation of both bands, the groups will kick off the tour in Birmingham before coming to Scotland at Aberdeen’s P&J Live and Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.
Busted stormed the stage at McFly’s 21st birthday show at the O2 Arena in London on Wednesday to announce they will be going head-to-head on the tour.
Speaking of the tour, McFly said: “Busted gate-crashed 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 added in response: “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!”
