The gig marks the first time McFly has been back to The Halls since its renovation, with fans flocking to the venue to see the group take to the stage.

Superfan Mollie Brownfield managed to secure her spot at the front of the queue.

Mollie Brownfield, 26, from Wolverhampton, said: "I've actually seen McFly over 30 times, It's our first gig this year though.

"We actually saw McFly as they walked through the stage doors, they looked amazing. I'd say the best place we have ever seen them is the O2 in Birmingham, but it might be The Halls now."

McFly are known for their sell-out performances and dedicated fan base, with fans young and old coming to see the group.

Halle Glover and Georgia Blunt, both 16, said: "We actually finished our GCSEs the other day so it's a bit of a reward for us.

"We are huge fans, we really can't wait to see them. It's a great way to celebrate finishing your exams."

McFly joined a star-studded list of acts set to perform at The Halls, with James, Siouxsie, Gary Powndland and Sugarbabes also set to perform for the reopening of the venue.
