Mcfly,
everyone’s favourite foursome are back, after being quiet on the music scene,
after various ventures of reality television and getting married, and as part
of their latest tour, they rocked up to Birmingham’s 02 Academy on Saturday
night, much to the joy of their fans across the city. Student Speak were there
to see what the fuss was about.
They hit Birmingham with a bang with a packed out
venue, that as soon as the lights dimmed, the loudest screams I have ever heard
took over. Danny, Tom and Dougie appeared on stage starting off with an
acapella version of ‘Memory Lane’, the crowd went wild while chanting the
lyrics back to the boys. The curtain soon dropped, and revealed Harry behind on
drums, and crowd screamed even more. They soon launched into fan favourite
‘That Girl’, which had the crowd jumping up and down. The boys kept them glued
with their amazing energy on stage, gaining an amazing reaction from the crowd.
Without a break, they launched into catchy ‘Star Girl’, before having a chat
with their excited audience.
They next burst into a short rendition of Dougie’s
song ‘Transylvania’, before launching into the recognisable tune of ‘Five
Colour in Her Hair’, they’re first single, 10 years ago! This drove the crowd
into frenzy, dancing away and singing the lyrics word for word to the Mcfly
boys!
The boys revealed that they wanted Birmingham to be
as loud as possible, and make this the best gig of their tour, which encouraged
the audience to make much more noise! Danny encouraging the audience by saying
“Nobody sits down at a Mcfly concert”. They next moved on to perform two of the
bands ballads ‘Falling in Love’ and ‘Room on the Third Floor’. The crowds were
screaming their names and singing along as loud as they possibly could. They
next asked the audience if they knew which song was the first song they wrote
way back in the day. The crowds shouted various songs from the band’s first
album, which shot straight to number one in the UK, “Room on the Third Floor”.
Before the band revealed it was in fact ‘Obviously’ when launching into the
catchy tune.
Moving on to performing firm favourites ‘Lies’ and
‘I’ll Be Ok’, the audience were bopping along and singing and screaming at the
top of their voices. Next the boys donned some trademark hats, and treated the
fans to party favourite ‘Y.M.C.A’ with the crowds doing the dance actions right
back at them.
Fans were then treated to firm favourites ‘Shine a
Light’ and ‘One for the Radio’, but revealing to the audience that this would
be their last song for the evening, ending where they started with the full
version of ‘Memory Lane’.
After 5 minutes of screaming, shouting and chanting
Mcfly, the boys appeared back on stage, much to the crowds delight, for the
finale. They wanted to go out with a bang, and that’s what they did. Finishing
off with recent ballad ‘Love is Easy’, Comic Relief single ‘All About You’ and
lastly, ‘The Heart Never Lies’, changing the lyrics to “Mcfly are here
forever”. The vocal power and presence of Mcfly, along with the audience made
for such a powerful and energetic set and incredible atmosphere for all those
there.
Mcfly are firmly back on the music scene, with the
announcement of their 6th studio album to be released this Summer.
Let’s hope that they are forever!
