McFly to play Birmingham O2 Academy

Pop rockers McFly are coming to Birmingham's O2 Academy as part of a 26-date UK tour next year.

They will be hitting the road once more in March/April 2012 for an up close and personal tour that will see them stopping in all corners of the UK, hitting Birmingham on Friday, March 30, 2012. Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, November 26, 2011.

McFly's fifth studio album, Above The Noise, was released to huge acclaim in November last year and spawned the band's biggest single to date, Shine A Light, which sold over 300,000 in the UK.

A DVD filmed at the Wembley date of their UK arena tour earlier this year is due out early December from Island Records. McFly are currently writing for their sixth studio album.
