Nostalgia sells better and is easier to market than original material and there's no guarantee that the buzz would be the same in another five years.
I was moaning about not having anyone to go with to this and my fabulous husband just volunteered himself. That's true love right there.

I think the re-recordings is a really smart move and then hopefully moving into another album next year. If they played a new song on the tour it'd help kickstart things as well. I'm excited for this whole project and tour now.
I feel like the albums really came in the wrong order. Half Way There was the modern punk-pop album people were craving in 2016. People would have been open to the sound of Night Driver as a progression from that. I think it was just too much of a departure from their original sound to accompany their comeback moment.
I’m quite excited for this. Hopefully the reworks are good and I’ll probably get a ticket for the tour.

They've added 6 extra dates - very pleasantly surprised to see how well this is doing. I snatched some tickets for the O2 as the Pigs Can Fly tour was a blast.
The demand for this is crazy. Tried 2 presales and general sale with no decent seats available. So glad they added the extra dates as I managed to bag 2 tickets just as they went on sale. Really looking forward to it, never seen them live but the McBusted tour was one of my favourite shows ever.
Absolutely amazed at the demand for this. Pleased to get decent seats in the end but it's just mad how mad people went for it.
I think Night Driver stands more of a chance of being represented than Half Way There but imagine that both will be played dust really.

Reworked version of "Meet You There" will feature Ben Barlow from the band Neck Deep, and it has been turned into a "full-blown rock track".

This will be interesting. I love how simple the original is. One of my favourites.
Keen to hear this. They've also added even more tour dates.
