The Wonderland Tour 2005 is a concert DVD by the pop/rock band McFly. The DVD was filmed during their first arena tour, Wonderland. The majority of concert footage was filmed at the Manchester Arena concert.
This tour had a few special arrangements. In "Ultraviolet", the whole of the arena's lights went an ultraviolet colour. During the 6th song, "That Girl", a giant pair of female legs came on the stage where McFly were playing. Also, in this tour, McFly had a 60 piece Orchestra with them. Fire was also used for parts of "I Wanna Hold You". McFly covered a snippet of American pop punk band Green Day's hit "American Idiot" and played a full cover song by The Who with whom they had previously worked with, playing "Pinball Wizard". This is McFly's first arena tour, their previous tour being a theatre tour.
