McFly have released their latest “party rock” anthem, God Of Rock and Roll. 

The track is the second to be lifted from ‘Power To Play’ – the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album, out June 11.

Of the track and its place on the album, the Obviously hitmakers say: “Once we had landed on the fact that we were going to do eighties rock, there was just something in it that had such a McFlyness within it. 

“High concept, guitars front and centre, colourful. It’s all the things we have always loved about music and what we do with this band. It’s a party rock song at its core, but its seed was that if there was a god of rock and roll, we would undoubtedly be worshipping him. 

“A lot of that came from going to shows ourselves. We all went to see Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer last year and seeing so many people had come to the same place to enjoy rock music was incredible.”

They add: “Rock music celebrates life and having fun, and it feels like we all got deprived of that for such a long time.”

Listen to God Of Rock and Roll below.

‘Power To Play’ is out June 9 via BMG and available to pre-order now. 

McFly will hit the road later this year with their ‘Power To Play’ UK tour, performing 18 shows as part of the nationwide run, which kicks off with two dates at the O2 Academy Bristol on October 23 and 24.

They’ll play shows in Norwich, London, Bournemouth, Southampton, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Glasgow, Leeds and Manchester, before wrapping in Nottingham on November 22. 

It follows a summer of outdoor shows from the boy band, including dates at Dreamland Margate’s Summer Series and Trentham Live. 

Tickets for McFly’s ‘Power To Play’ UK tour go on sale May 5 at 9 am BST.
