McFly are reuniting for one-off comeback show at London’s O2 Arena after nine-year hiatus
MCFLY have announced they will play a one-off headline show at London's O2 Arena on November 20th.
Dougie Poynter, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Tom Fletcher have ended their nine-year hiatus with the gig and promise fans they will perform previously unheard tracks as well as their chart-topping classic hits on the epic night.

They've also revealed to The Sun Online that they'll be ditching the booze-fuelled riders as they pledge to take their kids on tour with them.
Tom told us: "Let's be honest, so much has changed now.
"Most of us are dads, and Buzz can't wait to come on tour. It used to be booze on our riders but now it will be pampers and green tea."
Harry added: "My daughter didn't even know I had a job. She does now."
The boys talked about tensions that caused them to fall apart - and blamed teaming up with Busted for their rift.
Harry said: "After McBusted our personal friendships were at their worst. It was tough for three years.
Then eventually our manager bashed our heads together and said I've booked The O2 on November 20th - whose in?"
The boys will now release one new track each week from the new album The Lost Songs - until the show in November.
Last night the band sparked speculation they're getting ready for a comeback with cryptic video on Twitter.

The 18 second clip reveals a flashing image of a microphone and was posted on Monday night, marking the band’s first tweet in over a year.
The same microphone is also their profile photo on Twitter.
Fans were quick to celebrate and the post clocked up almost five thousand likes and 18 thousand retweets within hours.
One person raved on Twitter: "I honestly am so excited just by this bloody video! Really hope its album 6 and going on tour!"

One more tweeted: "I was so excited about the video that I had to phone my Mum to tell her the news... in which she spent most of the time reminding me that I had to breathe!"
A third said: "I THINK I MIGHT CRY OMG I NEEDD THIS"
McFly’s most recent album, Above the Noise, was released in 2010.
They shot to fame in 2003 and have been on hiatus since 2016.

They haven't released new music since 2013 single Love Is On The Radio, leaving fans desperate for a sixth studio album.
It was the band’s fifth release, six years after their debut Room on the 3rd Floor.
The news comes after Dougie teased a McFly comeback in January, when he revealed the band had booked time to write new songs.

Dougie said: ‘McFly will at least start writing by the summer and I can’t wait.
“I love that band and I love the guys. It’s awesome.”
Speaking to Sun Online earlier this month, Dougie refused to rule out an impending McFly comeback, teasing: "I can neither confirm or deny... Which means anything you want."
He added: "McFly is my identity, I have been Dougie from McFly longer than I haven't, I love that and it never gets boring. It's good to know that people still care - I like that."
