McFly spotted having a jam-packed day out in Manchester
They did SO much in one day omg.

McFly have shared a daft vlog of them having a big day out in Manchester – and they really managed to cruise around a lot of local attractions.
Two members of the pop-rock group – bassist Dougie Poynter and guitarist Danny Jones – popped over to soak in the sights and activities the city has to offer.
Throughout the video, they’re both putting on thick northern accents (even though Danny is legitimately Northern and from Bolton), leading to several people thinking it was Gary Barlow doing the voice over. But it does look like my idea of a very nice day out.
The duo managed to get up to plenty of mischief on their day out here, from finding phallic graffiti to getting up to no good in photo booths.
McFly’s big day out in Manchester started with them getting a bit lost in Manchester Piccadilly (not even Platform 13 – amateurs) before heading off to ‘a nice little coffee shop’.
They sat and had a ‘little cortado’ in the original Takk, an Icelandic-style cafe on Tariff Street in the Northern Quarter.
Then Dougie posed for a brief photo next to a sign at Yard & Coop that politely asks ‘Please do not ride the cock’.
After that it was time for brunch at Hampton & Vouis’ newest cafe in the Northern Quarter (maybe they were influenced by The Manc Eats), which they said was ‘very Instagrammable’.
Danny and Dougie were then off for a game of darts at the newly-refurbished Twenty Twenty Two, closely followed by an action-packed trip to arcade bar NQ64.
They said: “Shot some screens, popped some caps in asses, and then we shook some asses,” with videos of them busting a move on the dance mat.
The pair then got a little bit naked in the photobooth and joked ‘You cannot take us anywhere’.
Apparently not quite satisfied with all the activities so far they then took a trip to DNA VR where they ‘hit the wall a few times but also hit a few zombies’.
And finally, it was off for a ‘great, great dinner’ at the excellent Higher Ground, adding another celebrity endorsement to the restaurant’s repertoire.
“All in all we had a lovely, great bloody day,” McFly said – which is always nice to hear.
