SOUNDS OF THE CITY 2023: McFly to headline at Leeds Millennium Square
The All About You chart-toppers will take the stage on Thursday, July 6.
BUY TICKETS: Tickets to see McFly and special guests – yet top be revealed – go on sale from 9.30am on Friday, December 9 at www.gigsandtours.com, www.ticketmaster.co.uk & www.millsqleeds.com.
Expect new music hits such as their number one singles debut 5 Colours in Her Hair, Obviously, All About You/ Youve Got A Friend, I’ll Be OK, Don’t Stop Me Now/ Please, Please, Baby's Coming Back/Transylvania and more.
One of the most significant British pop acts of the 21st century, McFly have notched up seven UK number-one singles, six top-ten albums, seven arena tours and sold 10 million records worldwide.
And they show no signs of slowing down.
Since hitting the big time as the youngest band ever to have a debut album go straight to number one — beating The Beatles’ long-standing record — Tom, Danny, Dougie and Harry have become one of our best-loved bands, not to mention major stars in their own right.
Outside of McFly, Tom has become a bestselling children’s author; Danny a TV mainstay with his regular appearances as a coach on The Voice Kids; Dougie formed alternative-rock band INK and is a passionate environmental campaigner; and Strictly winner Harry is often seen presenting on The One Show sofa, as well as starring in the hit dance show Rip it Up.
In 2019 McFly announced their return to touring with a sold-out one-off night at The O2 and in 2020 the band released their sixth album, Young Dumb Thrills.
Performances on Graham Norton, Britain’s Got Talent and Ant & Dec, as well as A List records across Radio 2, saw Young Dumb Thrills enter the chart at #2, second only to the biggest selling album of the year from AC/DC.
Fast forward to the summer of 2021 and McFly could be seen up and down the country playing at glorious Summer Festivals as the UK was finally able to host live music again.
The band were on top form and crowds jubilantly sang along to McFly classics as well as new tracks Happiness and Tonight Is The Night. The long awaited Young Dumb Thrills tour also had its moment of glory in September 2021, with 11 dates of pure un-adulterated pop punk fun with a giant pink teddy bear to add to the spectacle.
Next year now looks set to be another exciting year for the band with their long anticipated next studio album to be released in 2023 along with this major summer Yorkshire show.
Also performing Sounds Of The City headline gigs in Millennium Square next summer are chart-conquering Bad Blood stars Bastille, on Thursday, July 13; chat-topping indie rockers The Wombats, with special guests Circa Waves, on Friday, July 14, and sold out Yorkshire Britpop legends Shed Seven, with guests Cast and Skylights, on Saturday, July 15.
