News Release

McFly to the woods!


The superb McFly have announced a trio of dates next Summer when they will be performing in fantastic woodland locations as part of the Forestry Commission’s annual live music series.

2008 has proved a busy time for the band with a new album ‘Radio:ACTIVE’ featuring the cracking singles, ‘Lies’ and ‘One For The Radio’. Their latest release is a double A-side, ‘Do Ya/Stay With Me’ - the official BBC Children in Need single.

It is less than 5 years since McFly released their debut single, “Five Colours In Her Hair”. In that time the band have enjoyed a soaraway success, achieving No 1 albums and seven No 1 singles, including ‘Obviously’, ‘Baby’s Coming Back / Transylvania’, ‘All About You’ / ‘You’ve Got A Friend’, ‘Please Please’ / ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’ and ‘I’ll Be OK’. Frontman Tom Fletcher has made chart history having written more number one hits than U2, Queen and Robbie Williams (and all before the age of 21)! Their popularity has also been recognised via numerous awards including a Brit Award for ‘Best Pop Act’ and ‘Best Live Act’ at the Virgin Awards.

The Forestry Commission is committed to taking woodlands to new audiences and making them relevant to people in new ways. The forest tour is self-sustaining, paying for itself, and providing valuable revenue to plough back into the woodland in a variety of environmental and social projects.

Commenting on the forest gig, McFly’s Danny Jones said, “We loved playing to a sold-out crowd at Thetford forest last Summer so we are delighted to include 3 more forest gigs in our summer plans for 09.”

Westonbirt Arboretum, Nr Tetbury, Glos, Friday 19th June
