"Gig is McFlying
I'VE bagged another big name to play at the first of my Bizarre Nights Out.
Today I can reveal that McFLY are joining us this Wednesday to perform for you at our free gig.
The lads are taking time out from their UK tour to party with Bizarre in London. They join girl band PARADE, who we've already announced for the pop-themed event. And we'll be announcing a third act tomorrow.
It kicks off at 10pm on March 23 at the new Piccadilly Institute in Piccadilly Square, London."

"McFly promise sex on site
McFly have joked that their fans could be treated to a sex show if they log on to their Super City website.
McFly's fans could witness a sex show if they log on to the group's website.
The British band - which is comprised of Tom Fletcher, Harry Judd, Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter - have joked that fans who log on to their Super City website will be treated to the X-rated content if they accumulate enough points by interacting on the site.
Tom said: "There's a whole social networking side to Super City, like Facebook, so you can log on and update your page."
Danny added in an interview with Recognise magazine: "We can do web chats from anywhere on our laptops, it's amazing. I've done a few from my house and one from my bed.
"Fans have their own profiles and they get points if they do things like upload a picture and, with us, points win prizes. You can get private phone calls from us, emails, a sex show . No, no I'm joking! It starts from little things to big things, like a meet and greet."
Asked how many points fans would need to view the sex show, Tom said: "A million points.
"What's on the sex show? Is it us doing each other, or them?"
Danny said: "That's on the adult version of the site. Yeah, you superimpose yourself on a picture that we made so it looks like you're getting done by us."
You can read the full version of the McFly interview in the March/April edition of Recognise Magazine (www.recognisemagazine.co.uk) which is out now."

"REVIEW: McFly @ MEN Arena (sisältää spoilereita)
There were giant beach balls, a flying stage, fireworks, a bizarre but equally impressive rap, guns firing T-shirts into the crowd, and at the back of the stage, a gas-powered flaming sign that threatened to engulf the drummer.
This is what happens when you give a manufactured band creative control over their own show — but somehow, McFly pulled it off.
Yes, they were preaching to the converted — the near capacity crowd inside the MEN Arena was predominantly female and predominantly teenage, although there was a dedicated brigade of terrified dads and a good few cougars too — but the cult band, who are semi-credible these days, delivered an all-guns-blazing lesson in entertaining the masses.
McFly sing the old favourites (All About You, Five Colours In Her Hair and Obviously) as well as their latest stuff (That's The Truth, Party Girl and the Thriller-inspired End Of The World) in a strong two-hour set.
And it has to be said: these boys write very good pop songs and Tom Fletcher is at the centre of that.
He has very much adopted the Gary Barlow role.
But Danny Jones is the main man these days. Front stage centre, he’s the Robbie Williams of the band.
Heavily tattooed, with all the swagger and confidence of a bona fide rock star, the Bromley Cross lad even ditched his guitar midway through the show, donned a pair of shades, and ripped into an adrenaline-fuelled cover of Tinie Tempah’s Pass Out.
That a band like McFly can get away with this shows how far they’ve come.
They have broken away from those contrived beginnings and now are firmly in control of their own musical destiny.
The encore is brilliantly nostalgic.
One For The Radio is anthemic. In fact, it is McFly’s anthem, neatly summing up their refreshing philosophy on musical snobbery.
Then the rather lovely ballad, The Heart Never Lies, rounds off the show.
All done? Nope. This is McFly.
A second encore is demanded, deserved and delivered.
They belt out the infectious Shine a Light, and everyone, dads included, goes home happy."

"McFly - Live @ Manchester M.E.N Arena 19/03/2011 (sisältää spoilereita)
When McFly burst into the pop world way back in 2004, those of you that weren't fourteen year old girls cynically predicted their life cycle through the boy band factory and assumed they would be spat out into the incinerator at the not so distant end.
Seven years later, and it seems they're just about surviving. With a bass player straight out of rehab, poor album sales and a dodgy R 'n'B makeover, the foursome are frantically trying to claw their way out of that hole they dug for themselves with the release of fifth studio album 'Above The Noise' late last year.
But while many may assume that the future of McFly is hanging in the balance, Manchester's 10,000 strong crowd will tell you a very different story.
From the moment the house lights dimmed, it was obvious that the foursome are very much back on form. The impressive set list spanned over twenty songs and featured fan favourites from all five albums, kicking off with comeback single 'Party Girl'. The group took the chance to strip the synths away from their most recent release and remind everyone that, underneath it all, they're still the same pop band they always were.
The night's unexpected highlight came from a bizarrely innovative cover of Tinie Tempah 's 2010 smash hit 'Pass Out'. Bolton front man Danny Jones was on mockney vocal duty, ditching his guitar and donning sunglasses to suitably grime up for his performance.
Two encore's rounded the show off on an emotional high with a sing-a-long spectacular of 'Shine A Light' and a promise that yes Manchester, they will be back again. Even better next time. Lets hope they stick to their word.
They may have made a grave error in trying to compete with the JLS's of the world, but performing live is their forte, and this show proved that McFly still deserve their place on the stage."

"Preview: McFly, Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle
MCFLY have been in the news of late for perhaps the wrong reasons. But, as Entertainment Editor Gordon Barr finds out, all is back on track and they’re gearing up for their Newcastle gig.
IT’S been a traumatic few weeks for the McFly lads but it looks like they’ll be putting their troubles behind them when they arrive in Newcastle later this month.
Certainly, last time they were here, back in January for Press interviews at the Metro Radio Arena, where they perform on March 27, there was no sign of any upset, especially from bassist Dougie Poynter.
It’s since been well documented that Dougie has since spent time in rehab after receiving treatment for depression. He checked out just days ago and the band are now all-go for their UK tour.
The Essex native, 23, was distraught when The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford, 22, ditched him in November and within weeks was photographed with new footballer boyfriend Wayne Bridge. Intense Press coverage finally took its toll, but Dougie has been Twittering he is now on the road to recovery.
The tour follows on from the release of their latest album Above The Noise and their ground-breaking Super City website.
Two years in the making, the website provides worldwide fans with unrivalled access to the band; it has citizens rather than visitors where fans can subscribe to access further content including albums, demos and webchats.
It means those subscribed will be getting all the latest news from the band – Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie – when they play Newcastle.
All the old hits will be performed on the night, as well as tracks from the latest album, on which they worked with acclaimed producer Dallas Austin.
“We decided it was about time to do something different and a bit challenging,” explains Tom.
Danny adds: “It was amazing to work with Dallas, because of the amazing career he has had.
“We went out to Atlanta for a few weeks, then he came to London – he was like a fifth member of the band.
“He was a really cool dude and got our vision and where he wanted to take it.
“It was a great time.”
Tom interjects: “It’s really hard to explain the change in direction as stylistically it is still very much McFly but in sound terms it is much more pop.
“We just really wanted to experiment, and that is good for the band.”
McFly were signed to Island Records from 2004 to 2007, before creating their own label, Super Records.
They rose to fame after fellow pop band Busted helped launch them by inviting them to tour in 2004.
The band’s name originates from Marty McFly, the protagonist of the Back to the Future film trilogy and to date the lads have sold an estimated eight million records worldwide and have also won a Brit Award.
“It’s just good to be going out on the road again,” says Harry.
“Getting out there and meeting the fans. We have close contact with the fans thanks to the website and we keep them posted on all we do.
“But nothing beats getting up on that stage and performing in the flesh for them.
“Newcastle always proves to be a memorable show too.”
