MCFLY gave the girlies exactly what they wanted in a very competent, slick, Duracell bunny, hormone-inducing kind of way.moreDetails

Mcfly sure know how to put on a show, being four rows away from stage you can tell. You could only tell that they were ill when they were talking, not singing. The flying glass stage was an awsome feature. To appreciate mcfly, you seriously need to see them live. Best tracks were
One for the radio, lies, everybody knows, going through the motions, BLACK OR WHITE, star girl, five colours, that girl, obviously, all about you, corrupted, TRANSYLVANIA, room on the third, Do Ya, POV, Falling in Love, Last Song,
Basically every song they sung
Support acts Avenue and reemer were good ( but not as good as McFly)
set was awsome

This was my 4th time seeing McFly, I'm 40 and yes, I do take my 2 girls, who are now 14 and 11!! But this time I got to sit with a friend rather than my kids, so I could jump up and down like a loon rather than behave myself and not embarrass them!! McFly are under-rated, they perform fantastically, give their all to the crowd and I've never been let down by them. If your 13 year old daughter has 'outgrown' them, she needs a serious talking to!! Its great to see a young band who write their own material, play their own instruments, have a great time and give so much to their fans who give so much for them. Too much music in the charts now is sampled etc and McFly are like a breath of fresh air - keep it up boys!! Manchester love you!! Great atmosphere too, only downside are the jobsworths in the yellow t-shirts at the MEN - you know who you are!! Long may McFly reign - cos my life won't be worth a carrot if they don't ...... 2 teenage girls at home who worship them ..... aarrgghh!!

The Radio:ACTIVE tour was amazing. Fantastic crowd participation the guys created and although they were very ill, McFly didn't sound it at all (apart from when they spoke). Their voices were brilliant, perhaps at almost the best I've heard them, and yes, they were live!A great set list of hits and new album tracks was all fun, but the best thing had to be their B Stage. The guys flew (quite lowly) over the crowd on a second stage with a see-through bottom before landing towards the back of the arena, always thoughtful, wanting everyone to get a bit up close and personal!
There was a breif moment when prankster Dougie Poynter, basist of the band, dressed as a Steward in the arena and put on a George Bush mask, then walked past me at the end of my row, but me having no clue it was him at all thought he was a nutter. I hope I didn't get caught on the camera being held up at him (unknowingly) at the time!
Finally, a 13 year old think's she's outgrown them? McFly are very underated, I feel songs like their newest (Do Ya) show McFly at their worst. The bnoys do know how to rock, and their album tracks show it. Check out Down Goes Another One. Powerful lyrics and a powerful song that if another band would have sang would be hailed as the leaders in music! Your 13 year old daughter could be going into the awuful trend of listening to high voiced dance remix music, so I'd watch out! Around me at the concert stood a guy in his 20s, a woman in her late 20s, a few 15-16 year olds and behind some girls about 18-19. It does differ wherever you sit though, young lads, young girls, teen boys, men, women, teen girls. Don't be put off by this review - it hasn't fairly described the concert. Especially not from someone's point of view who had seats on the floor of the arena!

Well, where do i start??? I think so many would agree with me that last nights gig was amazing. The guys sounded and looked fantastic. The stage set , lighting and fireworks all worked so well together and really fit in with the lads music. They chose great songs that really got the crowd singing. If you weren't there then you definetly missed out. It was the best gig that I've been to and they are really worth seeing again! The warm-up acts also fitted in well too and did a good job of starting up the crowd. it was the best night I've had in a long time. I highly recomened them. They are a truely talented band. Pure awesomeness!!!!
