3 min read
The much-loved British pop-punk band McFly will be taking to the iconic Dreamland stage for a huge show as part of the Margate Summer Series on Friday, 1 August 2025, with special guest Sam Ryder. This news comes after their recent success with five sold-out shows at London’s O2 Arena alongside Busted.
It’s been 21 years since McFly first formed, a journey which has taken them from their breakthrough hit ‘Five Colours In Her Hair’ to 2023’s full-force rock album ‘Power To Play’.
Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd have scored seven #1 singles, seven Top 10 albums, 10 million sales leading to multiple Platinum certifications, a BRIT Award for Best British Pop, sold-out countless arena shows and still remain the youngest band to ever have a debut album go straight to number 1, beating The Beatles.
The band members have achieved remarkable individual success in recent years. Best-selling children’s author Tom Fletcher recently scored a hit with the adaptation of his book, The Creakers, into a musical, Danny Jones claimed victory in 2024’s I’m a Celebrity and The Masked Singer, while Dougie Poynter was also crowned King of the Jungle on I’m a Celeb’, and Harry Judd won BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing.
McFly have continued to push boundaries, ‘Power To Play’ was the album they always wanted to make – a larger-than-life rush of hard rock and pop-punk thrills. The album, featuring standout singles ‘God Of Rock & Roll’ and ‘Where Did All The Guitars Go?’ charted at #2 on the Official Albums Chart. Their touring in support of the album took them from two surprise shows in a day in London’s sweaty, intimate Underworld right through to the Royal Variety Performance via a massive sold-out headline show at Alexandra Palace. 2024 saw them sell out two O2 Arenas to celebrate their 21st Birthday. The recording of these shows is being released as a new album ‘21 LIVE’ on 21st March 2025.
Margate Summer Series is back for 2025 after a huge run of shows in 2024 from world class artists such as Rudimental, Paloma Faith, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Bryan Adams and many more. In what’s to be its biggest edition to date, the iconic series will again take over Dreamland this summer, delivering a truly show-stopping line-up.
