The tour sees the foursome perform together as McFly for the first time since 2013, when the band went on hiatus for McBusted's two massive arena tours. 

Selling out in 10 minutes, the tour will see the band play historic rock venues across London, Glasgow, Birmingham and Manchester.

The boys will play three nights in each city, with each concert featuring a different set list from a different McFly album, alongside some of the band's biggest hits.
