Hide AdThe beloved power-pop/pop-punk (delete as you feel is appropriate) join Paloma Faith and Pete Tong as this year’s headliners to the family-friendly festival, which started as a sister festival to Bestival back in 2008.
While perhaps the more “serious” music listener back when McFly first broke through with their hit single “5 Colours In Her Hair” thought of it as nothing more than “pop music,” the band have managed to not only keep their original fanbase through the years but have attracted a newer legion of fans with their upbeat, let’s be honest, catchy songs.
So as nostalgia starts to sink in for those on their way to Camp Bestival Dorset this year, what time are McFly taking to the stage on Friday, what could they be playing and will the weather hold out to prevent those “5 Colours…” washing out?
