McFly and Busted Aberdeen and Glasgow gigs presale: How to get Sottish date tickets and ticket prices

Members of the bands have previously toured as supergroup McBusted, but this weill be the first time that all the original members will be heading out together - playing two seperate sets of hits.

The news was announced as McFly performed a gig to mark their 21st birthday this week, bringing Busted out to the delight of fans.

In a statement, McFly were in combative mood, saying: “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.

They continued: “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.”

Announcing the news Busted said: “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.”

Meanwhile McFly countered: “It has been a long time coming, this tour. Fans have wanted this. There’s a massive crossover in the fanbases but secretly [we] think everyone likes Busted more.”
