It consisted of 36 shows around cities in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland from April–June 2014. The tour began on 17 April in Glasgow and ended on 27 June in Scarborough.
==Background== From 19 to 22 September 2013, Matt Willis and James Bourne made a surprise brief reunion as Busted when they joined McFly as special guests during McFly's four 10th anniversary concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. Willis and Bourne's ex-bandmate Charlie Simpson, whose decision to quit Busted led to the band's break-up in January 2005, chose not to take part at the concerts. Under the name "McBusted", the six-piece performed Busted's "Year 3000" and "Air Hostess" and McFly's "Shine a Light". This sparked rumours that Busted could make a comeback.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a517071/busted-join-mcfly-on-stage-at-royal-albert-hall-show-video.html|title=Busted join McFly on stage at Royal Albert Hall show – video|last=Corner|first=Lewis|date=20 September 2013|work=Digital Spy|access-date=11 November 2013}}</ref> On 11 November 2013, it was announced that Bourne and Willis would join Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd and go on an eleven-date arena tour in April and May 2014 as McBusted, playing both Busted and McFly songs.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/mcbusted-mcfly-busted-become-supergroup-2719950|title=McBusted: McFly and Busted become supergroup 2014 tour dates for supergroup|last=McGeorge|first=Alistair|date=11 November 2013|work=Daily Mirror|access-date=11 November 2013}}</ref> Simpson refused to be a part of McBusted as he wanted to focus on his own career, but he was paid a six-figure sum by Willis and Bourne after he sold his third of the copyrighted Busted name.<ref name="Charlie six-figure sum">{{cite news|url=http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/132862/Phew-McBusted-Add-More-Dates-To-Sellout-Tour-Amid-Phenomenal-Demand|title=Phew!
