Summer Saturday Live - McBusted

The Jockey Club Live & Newmarket Racecourses are proud to present McBUSTED to their series of Summer Music Events.

PLEASE NOTE: Tickets are ONLY available to collect directly from Newmarket Racecourse on the day of the event.

McBusted, a synergy of McFly and Busted, first came to be at the end of 2013 after the astonishing success of their brief reunion at the Royal Albert Hall on the occasion of McFly’s tenth anniversary concert. From the incredible reaction they received from the audiences, they decided to combine forces to create a super group. Originally announcing a run of 11 arena dates, these quickly turned to 34 to feed the demand of fans and the general public excited to see the two bands perform their hits together. The tour was the UK’s largest arena stint of last year, and saw the band play to a staggering 350,000 people, culminating in a show stopping headline performance at Hyde Park to 60,000.

Following the phenomenal success of the tour they released their self-titled ‘McBusted’ album at the end of last year, whereby it jumped straight in to the UK Top 10. Together McFly and Busted have sold over 15 million records worldwide and chalked up 14 number ones, 20 top 3 singles and 27 top ten singles. Expect to witness a shamelessly nostalgic set featuring hit after hit from the bands vast back catalogue including ‘Year 3000’, ‘Crashed The Wedding’, ‘All About You’ and ‘Five Colours In Her Hair’ alongside McBusted’s own tracks ‘Air Guitar’ and ‘Get Over It’.

‘Summer Saturday Live’ offers a value for money experience unlike any other this summer. Alongside incredible headlining performances, the action kicks off earlier in the day with 6 races - giving fans the chance to witness powerful equine athletes who are stars in their own right, and enjoy the thrilling drama and spectacle of them racing for glory. Whether you fancy a flutter or a dance with friends and family the event is certain to be an odds on favourite for all, with tickets starting at only £17.

McBusted said:
“We’re very excited to be playing Newmarket Racecourses’ Summer Saturday Live this year - half of us played a few years ago as McFly so can’t wait to play to the amazing Newmarket fans for the first time as McBusted. We love the atmosphere of outdoor gigs, especially those in such unique locations, so can’t wait to share a glorious summers day with you all in August!”

Amy Starkey, Regional Director East of Jockey Club Racecourses, said:

“It will be an enormous thrill to welcome McBusted to our one and only Summer Saturday Live concert date of 2015.  McFly have wowed spectators on the Adnams July Course before and it can only be an even more popular attraction with McFly and Busted together.  This fixture is a historic one with the annual running of the Newmarket Town Plate getting proceedings under way.  Rounding off the afternoon with McBusted’s music will make for a marvellous occasion.”
