From November, McFly have been running a once-in-a-lifetime competition for unsigned and upcoming bands. Their 'Battle of the Bands' competition, open to any unsigned bands, gives under the radar talent an opportunity to support the chart-topping bands on their nationwide tour.
Running from the 7th March to the 21st April, the McFly tour will be visiting all major cities across the country on 26 dates; however, the band are currently lacking in a support act for each night. Bands across the country have been entering videos of themselves to the McFly website, where the public can then choose which band they would like to support.
By hitting the 'Like' button on a specific band's page on the site, this counts as a vote for the chosen band. With 26 bands required to fulfil the support-act slot, Tom, Dougie, Danny and Essex's very own Harry Judd, make up McFly, who will pick the final 26 from the top 50 placing bands.
With voting having ended on 12th January, the boys will currently be deciding which acts they would like to join them on their tour. The chosen bands will be finding out if they have made the cut within the next week.
My fingers are well and truly crossed for Fuze, a four-piece band coming from Essex, who placed at 21 in the competition. Ed Alston, lead vocalist and guitarist, George Kirchner, lead guitarist, Jack Goldsmith, bass guitarist, & Keir Adamson, drummer, make up the band that were crowned Chelmsford's YFest winners in August 2011. Having spent most of the competition in the Top 10, it seems that the band are a popular choice and deserve to win a spot supporting McFly on tour.
