McFly set to play Belfast's Oddyssey Arena
One of the biggest boy bands of the moment, McFly are set to make a welcome return to the Odyssey Arena with their Greatest Hits Tour on Wednesday 21 November.
The UK-based band have had a hectic and extremely successful last couple of years. They headlined the Live 8 concert in Japan and played at the pre-G8 summitt in Glasgow. They also embarked on another sold-out arena tour, which was later turned into a No1 platinum selling DVD. They made their first film 'Just My Luck' with Lindsay Lohan, the hottest young actress of the moment.
McFly have also amassed a fanclub that includes everyone from screaming teens to Brian May of Queen.
“He came onstage with us the other day,” says guitarist and vocalist Danny Jones. “It was one of the greatest moments ever for me. He wrote a thing on his blog afterwards saying that we could easily outplay any respectable rock band.
“And we had a jam with him backstage beforehand as well. Andy from Razorlight walked in as we were jamming with Brian May and said 'well, that's one way to warm up for a gig.”
Tickets cost between £18.50 and £26.00 and go on sale this Saturday 28 April at 10:00am from Oddyssey Arena box office, Virgin and all usual Ticketmaster outlets.
