McFly Rocks Warwick Castle for 21st Birthday Gig

On a scorching summer day, McFly celebrated their 21st anniversary with a special performance at the stunning Warwick Castle, drawing thousands of fans. The concert, held on July 19th, was a treat for Oxfordshire residents, with the castle located just a short distance from Banbury.

The outdoor setting couldn't have been more perfect, with sunshine and a comfortable 27-degree temperature creating a truly summery atmosphere. The crowd was energized by opening acts Elvana, an Elvis-fronted Nirvana tribute band, and the popular British group The Hoosiers.

The Hoosiers, known for their hit song "Goodbye Mr A", delivered a lively set that included their own versions of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and the Backstreet Boys' "Backstreets Back". The audience was already primed for McFly's performance, dancing along to classic crowd-pleasers like "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "YMCA".

As the sun began to set, the anticipation for McFly reached fever pitch. The band, comprised of Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter, and Harry Judd, have achieved phenomenal success with seven number one singles, seven top 10 albums, over 10 million sales, a BRIT Award, and countless sold-out arena shows.

For those unfamiliar with their music, the concert provided an opportunity to experience McFly's energy and charisma firsthand. Danny Jones encapsulated the venue's charm by remarking, "It's a pretty cool place, isn't it?"

What sets McFly apart from many other artists is their genuine connection with their fans. After 21 years in the music industry, their passion for performing and interacting with the audience is undeniable.

The setlist spanned their impressive discography, including hits from their 2004 album "Room On The 3rd Floor" like "It's All About You" and "Obviously", alongside tracks from their latest release "Power to Play", such as "Honey I'm Home" and "Where Did All the Guitars Go?".

McFly even surprised the audience by playing "Broccoli", a song not originally included in the setlist, after a fan held up a sign requesting a specific song. This spontaneous moment epitomized their willingness to connect with their fans.

The night culminated with their breakthrough hit "Five Colours in Her Hair", a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that left the audience energized and wanting more.

The concert was a memorable celebration of McFly's 21 years in music, leaving a lasting impression on fans who enjoyed the electrifying performance in the beautiful setting of Warwick Castle. As the final notes faded away, one thing was clear – McFly's music will continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
