The head to head mega tour Busted Vs McFly – announce the final battles

Next year’s Busted vs McFly mega tour has already been a knockout, the head-to-head bout of two of pop-punk’s biggest bands already one of 2025’s hottest tickets with shows rapidly selling-out. But now, it’s ding-ding, round two as another 21 massive arena shows are announced to fulfil phenomenal public demand – in the process, more than doubling the size of the tour. The sheer scale of the tour is immense – the two bands will do battle in front of a combined total of 110,000 fans in London alone!
 
The Busted v McFly beef started when Busted stormed the stage at McFly’s 21st anniversary show at The O2 in London to challenge them to a vs tour. The trash talk has continued ever since, with both bands claiming credits for the tour’s huge ticket sales.
