Hey, I've just remembered I'm going to see McFly play at the Tiscali Sessions tonight - hurrah! And they've just announced a new tour for next year - double hurrah! The plan with this one is to hit cities not normally included on their arena tours, and therefore they'll be playing smaller venues, hence they're calling it the 'Up Close And Personal Tour' - though take it from me, there's nothing 'up close' about seeing a band play the Edinburgh Playhouse or Liverpool Empire. Still, they'll rock, I'm sure. Dates as follows, press info from those Island Records types.
