McFly at Camp Bestival 2024: set time, possible setlist and hour-by-hour for the group’s headline performance

• McFly are set to headline the first full day of music at Camp Bestival Dorset this week
• The beloved pop group join Paloma Faith and Pete Tong as this year’s headliners.
• What could the group perform during their headline set, and will the weather be kind to them and festivalgoers?

As Camp Bestival Dorset continues to greet campers over the next day, there’s a strong feeling of nostalgia as McFly is set to headline the first full day of music at Lulworth Castle. 

The beloved power-pop/pop-punk (delete as you feel is appropriate) join Paloma Faith and Pete Tong as this year’s headliners to the family-friendly festival, which started as a sister festival to Bestival back in 2008.

While perhaps the more “serious” music listener back when McFly first broke through with their hit single “5 Colours In Her Hair” thought of it as nothing more than “pop music,” the band have managed to not only keep their original fanbase through the years but have attracted a newer legion of fans with their upbeat, let’s be honest, catchy songs.

So as nostalgia starts to sink in for those on their way to Camp Bestival Dorset this year, what time are McFly taking to the stage on Friday, what could they be playing and will the weather hold out to prevent those “5 Colours…” washing out? 

Here’s what you need to know about McFly at Camp Bestival Dorset 2024.
