It’s going to be the party of the century, Obviously.
When it comes to birthday milestones, a 21st birthday is a big one. This year, fans of British boy band McFly will have the chance to celebrate the group’s 21st band-iversary in style at the O2 arena.
McFly hardly need an introduction. The iconic four-piece have sold over ten million records worldwide, were the youngest band to have topped the UK Albums Chart twice, not to mention that their posters have graced many a teen and tween bedroom wall (including the walls of this RadioTimes.com writer).
Now, if you can believe it, the era-defining band are turning 21 years old. To celebrate, they’re throwing a big party and we’re all invited.
In a post on X, Tom, Harry, Danny and Dougie announced “we’re throwing a massive birthday party at
@TheO2 on 10th October and everyone’s invited!”

McFly first announced their return to touring in 2019 after a long hiatus. COVID had other plans for the band, but in 2021 their new era took off with a band, touring summer festivals up and down the country performing tracks from their sixth album Young Dumb Thrills, which was released in 2020.
This year, McFly are once again on the festival circuit and will be performing tracks from their 2023 album Power to Play, before their 21st birthday show in October. Read on for the chance to grab a ticket for yourself.
