McFly Dublin 2023: British band to rock 3Arena this November

McFly will play a Dublin gig later this year.

The British rockers will be playing the 3Arena on November 18 this year, following the release of their latest album Power to Play.

The album will be released worldwide on Friday June 9.

Band member Harry Judd said: "I think that we have got to a place where we have simplified the process, removed the hurdles and started to write music the way we used to.

"We have production talent, songwriting talent, design talent, everything we could ever need in this band. All the possibilities in the world are at our fingertips. By stripping away everything that was extra and setting up as the bare bones of McFly, it allowed us to go and write the best rock songs we could."

The pop band, who were formed in London in 2003 have enjoyed, coming back to the touring scene after a ten year hiatus and the pandemic with their 2020 album Young Dumb Thrills.

Tom Fletcher said: "We're a different band now than we were. We all know there is life outside of McFly now, and when we were young, it consumed our lives so much. It needed to, but it was a lot.

"Returning to the band after discovering who we are without it, we saw that we are better together. That's why the band needs to be fun now. It needs to have a reason for us to be together.

"This all adds to the inspiration behind Power to Play where fun is at the forefront of the album and is described as: "a record built on pure collaboration bringing the best out of everyone."

Tickets go on sale on Friday June 16 at 9am from the Singular Artists website.
