MCFLY have just been announced as one of the headline acts at a Herefordshire festival later this year.
The band, made up of Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter, Danny Jones and Harry Judd, will headline on Sunday, August 13 at Lakefest at Eastnor Castle.
The announcement follows the band’s return to touring in 2019 with their comeback show at London’s O2 which sold out in just seconds, and a successful year of playing a number of UK summer festivals in 2021 and 2022.
