The Wanted & McFly To Play Co-Headline Concert In Blackpool
Thursday, 26 January 2012
Written by Jon Stickler
The Wanted and McFly are to headline an exclusive dual-headline concert on Blackpool’s brand new Tower Festival Headland on Sunday 24th June. The event coincides with the arrival of the Olympic Torch in Blackpool on Friday 22nd June.
The Wanted and McFly are two of Britain’s most popular bands, with certified gold and double-platinum albums respectively. McFly have recently hit the headlines again after members Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd both won reality TV contests in 2011, 'I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' and 'Strictly Come Dancing'. Harry Judd will return to Blackpool after winning the show’s final at Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
The Wanted have been enjoying great chart success and have recently been touring in America. They embark on their first sold-out UK Arena tour next month.
