Disagree completely. McFly supported Busted when they first toured. They’re the same crowd and had the same impact with a couple of years between. You can’t put Avril in the convo because she was played on Kerrang! and dressed very alternative so was already in the crowd over Busted/McFly. McFly were just a couple of years younger. If you’re saying 31-34 you’re probably a Busted head when growing up and if you’re slightly younger 28-30 you probably got into McFly.    McFly had DVDs etc. and spoke a lot about the alt influence and bands like Blink-182. There’s songs on the most recent album that are comparable to Weezer (who they love and have written with).    Come on now, someone who grew up listening to Kasabian isn’t the same people getting into Blink after. I actively know people and know of people that listened to McFly and that got them into listening to pop punk. 

You are getting my hopes up now! I guess we´ll find out soon enough. 

Don´t know about Syd for Solen but last year Way Out West announced 2 headliners within a week plus some undercards so that´s what I hope they will do this year as well. 

No such thing as a guilty pleasure in my opinion, just like what you like, no need to be guilty about it.   People saying McFly can’t play Download but say Busted can are the same as the people slating Sleep Token headlining and consistently want Iron Maiden etc. in my book. It’s just gate keeping. Same type of people that love Blink but hate on MGK/Yungblud. It’s one thing I really hate about the metal/rock scene, seems to be worse in the UK than in mainland Europe see Maneskin/MGK/Yungblud have all played Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park.
