MCFLY ANNOUNCE TAUNTON SHOW
McFly have announced they’re coming to Taunton, for a one-off summer show, as part of Live in Somerset.
The band, made up of Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter, Danny Jones and Harry Judd, will headline on Friday 10th July at Vivary Park, Taunton; the first artist to be announced for Live in Somerset 2020.
The announcement comes ahead of McFly’s comeback show at London’s O2 later this month, which sold out in just minutes. In April, the band is back on the road touring, and come July they will be performing under the stars in Taunton.
With seven UK number-one singles, five top-ten albums, six sell-out tours and ten million records sold worldwide, McFly are without question one of the most significant British pop acts of the twenty-first century. Since hitting the big time as the youngest band ever to have a debut album go straight to number one — beating The Beatles’ long-standing record — Tom, Danny, Dougie and Harry have become one of our best-loved bands, not to mention major stars in their own right.
They will play their best-loved mega-hits such as All About You, Obviously, Star Girl, One for the Radio and Shine a Light. They will perform the cream of the Lost Songs originally intended for Album 6. They will showcase their amazing musicianship, showmanship and humour. And, knowing the guys, there might well be a surprise or two along the way…
Concert promoter, LCC Live, is bringing McFly to Somerset as part ofs its Live in Somerset weekend of music from Friday 10th to Sunday 12th July 2020. Director Claire Kidger commented:
“This is another coup for us, confirming McFly, one of the greatest bands of its generation, to perform at our popular weekend live music event. Come along and join us and give McFly the welcome they deserve.”
Claire added:
“This is the first of three announcements for Live in Somerset – watch this space for more news!”

2. McFly are an English pop band formed in 2003. The band consists of Tom Fletcher (lead vocals, guitar and piano), Danny Jones (lead vocals, harmonica and guitar), Dougie Poynter (bass guitar) and Harry Judd (drums).
The four-piece band has had incredible success over the years, becoming known as the youngest band ever to have an album (Room on the 3rd Floor) debut at number one – a title taken from The Beatles. The band is estimated to have sold over two million albums and 1.8 million singles in the UK, and more than 10 million records worldwide. Its first single, 5 Colours in Her Hair, was released in 2004 and entered the UK Singles Chart at number one, followed closely by Obviously, which also topped the charts. The hits have followed, and the band is currently enjoying success after the sell-out of its comeback tour at the O2 London, in November.
