British pop rock icons McFly have been announced as the first headliner for Live at Ludlow Castle 2027 following another sell-out summer which saw 50,000 attendees visit the historic grounds of the beloved Shropshire landmark across two weekends, making it the biggest iteration of the event to date.

Formed in 2003, McFly made history and became a household name all but overnight when their 2004 debut album, Room on the 3rd Floor, entered at no. 1 in the UK Album Charts, making them the youngest band ever to do so and taking that record from another well known four piece, The Beatles.

23 years, one hiatus and seven hit albums later, McFly are looking back at where it all began; lean, loud and live guitar music. Power To Play, the band’s latest full length, is McFly’s biggest and boldest offering yet; a reinvigorated celebration of rock music, that when paired with indelible hits like Five Colours In Her Hair, Obviously, Star Girl and, of course All About You, is bound to be make for an unforgettable night in the 11th century grounds of Ludlow Castle.

McFly play Ludlow Castle on Sunday 25 July. Postcode pre-sale for residents local to Ludlow Castle (SY7 | SY8 | HR6 | DY14 | WR15) will open at 10am on Wednesday 30 September here. General sale opens at 10am on Friday 2nd October here.
