Before One Direction became a worldwide phenomenon, Busted and McFly were the ones battling it out at the top of the UK charts and their enduring popularity with fans was evident as they belted out a 31-strong set list incorporating each side's biggest and most memorable hits.

McFly were the first to hit the stage and right from the off Danny Jones got everyone on their feet with their 2023 single Where Did All The Guitars Go? and quickly followed up with Star Girl, the first of a string of chart-toppers performed by the band, who still have all of their boyish charm.
