They haven’t released new music since 2013 single Love Is On The Radio, leaving fans desperate for a sixth studio album.
It was the band’s fifth release, six years after their debut Room on the 3rd Floor.
The news comes after Dougie Poynter teased a McFly comeback in January, when he revealed the band had booked time to write new songs.
Dougie said: ‘McFly will at least start writing by the summer and I can’t wait.
“I love that band and I love the guys. It’s awesome.”
Speaking to Sun Online earlier this month, Dougie refused to rule out an impending McFly comeback, teasing: “I can neither confirm or deny… Which means anything you want.”
He added: “McFly is my identity, I have been Dougie from McFly longer than I haven’t, I love that and it never gets boring. It’s good to know that people still care – I like that.”
