McFly have cancelled their 11-date UK tour which was supposed to run through April and May 2020. The band have released the rescheduled show dates for later this year.
Many bands and artists around the world have been forced to cancel, but not all are lucky enough to reschedule. The four members – Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter – posted to let fans know. They said “following the latest government advice we are very sad to announce that we are rescheduling our upcoming April / May UK 2020 tour as the safety and health of our fans is our utmost priority.”
This will be the first time the band has toured together since 2016, having released their ‘Lost Songs’ singles in 2019. The new dates will be later this year, in October and November, and will consist of both new music and hits from their early years. The statement finished by asking fans to stay safe and look after each other. Additionally, McFly were set to be a part of festivals around the UK, of which many have been cancelled. Thankfully, some are still going ahead in the hopes that the Covid-19 pandemic will be under control by later this year.
