McBusted announce shows with Backstreet Boys and 5ive

McBusted have announced three outdoor shows for this later this year.

The group, made up of members from Busted and McFly, will play in Scarborough, Weston-super-Mare and Ipswich in June.

They will be joined by The Backstreet Boys, Scouting For Girls, 5ive and dance group Diversity for the Weston-super-Mare and Ipswich dates.

The announcement follows the news that the band will headline Hyde Park's British Summer Time in July.

In a statement, McBusted said: "We can't wait to be adding further outdoor shows and look forward to playing all the Mcfly and Busted hits."

The Backstreet Boys, who have sold 130 million records worldwide, said: "For Weston-super-Mare we're going to feel right at home on the beach like our home state Florida! Let's make it an unforgettable beach party."

Talking about the Ipswich date, they added: "We also haven't played on the east coast of the UK before so we're looking forward to seeing all your faces and can't wait!"

McBusted also performed at BBC Children in Need 2013

Busted formed in 2002 while McFly's debut single Five Colours In Her Hair was released in March 2004.

McFly and Busted have 11 number one singles between them.
