McFly added to Forest Live festival in Westonbirt

McFly will be playing at Forest Live at Westonbirt Arboretum in 2025, 21 years and seven number-one singles after the band first formed.

They join Snow Patrol, Sting, Elbow, Paul Heaton and The Script on Saturday, June 21, 2025.

A Forest Live spokesperson said: “Continuing to push boundaries with their larger-than-life sound and thrilling live show, McFly – best known for hits including ‘Five Colours In Her Hair’, ‘Star Girl’, ‘Obviously’ and ‘All About You’ – remain the youngest band ever to have a debut album go straight to #1.
