Here ye! Here ye!

We would like to thank you all for purchasing this


lovely shiny programme and a ticket for this tour.
We are currently backstage eating, playing video
games and Danny is preparing his hair.
Touring is the most fun a band can have without
taking their clothes off (actually taking them off
on tour is pretty awesome).
None of what you’re about to see is possible without
you guys so for that we thank you from the bottom of
our cold, black and immature hearts.
No venue too big or crowd too small will stop us from
doing this until we die extremely amusing deaths
and Satan consumes our souls for eternity.
Have fun and enjoy!
McFly
