NEWS: McFly are back and they're causing a stir like it's 2004

Yep, that's right. The pop band that formed back in the early noughties are back with an anthology tour, after not making an appearance on the scene for over 2 years. McFly have had several number ones and hit albums over the 10 years that they've been together. And every nineties kid must have some form of nostalgia associated with hits like '5 Colours in Her Hair' and 'Obviously', whether that be dancing around as a 9 year old fangirl or having a drunken singalong in the bath with your friends (both situations I am not familiar with of course...)

After rumours were drawn from various ticketing website, the confirmation of the tour came from the band member's on Twitter and a trailer for the tour then followed. Scrolling through the hashtag trending, anyone would think we're back in 2004 as the announcement has caused a riot with everyone reacting as though they've just heard the devastating news of Busted's break-up. I was heavily involved in the McFly fanbase for the majority, if not all of my teenage years so this news was a delight for me too as I can finally stop thinking about how I've lost those years and actually go and relive them instead (hiding from my responsibility as an adult as I do so!)

As it is quite self explanatory in the name, the band will be playing their whole recorded anthology across three nights in four UK cities in June 2016. Ticket prices haven't been released yet but will go on sale at 9am this Friday on Livenation and o2 Priority. I urge you to go to experience three nights of blissful pop nostalgia.
