It sounds like a burger but it's not. McFly and (some of) Busted have teamed up to form new pop supergroup, McBusted and will tour together in 2014. Ticket details below.
The boybands made the confirmation of their plans to join forces at a London press conference this morning (11 November, 2013), and will hit the road for an arena tour in April and May 2014.
All four members of McFly (Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd) will take part in the tour, while Matt Willis and James Bourne from Busted will also take part. Charlie Simpson has declined to participate, having spoken openly since forming Fightstar and later as a solo artists about how much he disliked the boyband experience.
The groups confirmed the news on their new Twitter account with the below tweet and image.
