Marking a momentous 21 years since they first formed, much-loved pop-rock band McFly have announced as headliners for Forest Live at Westonbirt Arboretum.

Continuing to push boundaries with their larger-than-life sound and thrilling live shows, the band will light up Westonbirt on Saturday, June 21, 2025.

Having embarked on a stratospheric journey which has taken them all the way through from breakthrough hit 'Five Colours In Her Hair' to last year's full force rock album Power To Play, Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd have scored seven #1 singles, seven Top 10 albums, multiple Platinum certifications, a BRIT Award and countless sold-out arena tours.

They remain the youngest band ever to have a debut album go straight to number 1, beating The Beatles, and in the past year have performed everywhere from the sweaty, intimate Camden Underworld to the Royal Variety Performance and two sold-out O2 Arenas.

Their Forest Live fixture this summer will see the band perform an array of classics from the entirety of their catalogue, including fan-favourites like 'All About You', 'Star Girl', 'Obviously' and 'Five Colours In Her Hair'.

Merging stellar performances from world-class acts with beautiful outdoor locations to create an atmosphere like no other, Forest Live 2025 will take place at four forest venues, including Westonbirt Arboretum.

Tickets for McFly will go on sale at 10am on Friday, December 6, from the Forest Live website.

McFly join a selection of renowned global artists announced to perform as part of 2025's Forest Live shows at Westonbirt Arboretum, including Sting, The Script, Elbow, Snow Patrol and Paul Heaton with special guest singer Rianne Downey with more to be announced.
