The four-piece rock and pop band will perform at the High Lodge, in Brandon on Friday, July 11, as part of the Forestry Commission's glittering series of concerts planned for the summer.

It's less than four years since the lads released their debut single Five Colours in Her Hair and in that time the band have achieved phenomenal success on both sides of the Atlantic.

McFly, named after a character in the Back to the Future films, have so far scored two number one albums, 13 top ten singles and seven chart-topping singles, including Obviously, All About You, You've Got a Friend, Don't Stop Me Now and Baby's Coming Back.

Talented frontman Tom Fletcher has made chart history having written more number one singles than rock giants U2, Robbie Williams and even Queen, all before reaching his 21st birthday.

The popular band has received a plethora of awards, including best live act at the Virgin Awards and a Brit award for best pop act.

Opera diva Katherine Jenkins, indie rockers The Zutons, Crowded House, KT Tunstall, Blake and Status Quo have already signed up to play the forest tour, which helps support the Forestry Commission's various environmental and social projects.

Tickets for the McFly concert cost £26 plus a booking fee and are available to buy from 9am this morning, so get dialling to avoid missing out.
