This year sees re-works of 15 of Busted’s classic tracks, featuring special guests including Simple Plan, All Time Low, McFly and more to be announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour will see the original much-loved trio – James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis – play their hits and fan-favourites to a combined audience of some 170,000 people over the course of seventeen shows across the UK and Ireland this September and October.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On tour Busted will be joined by the iconic Hanson. The brothers are best known for their worldwide number 1 smash, \u2018MMMBop\u2019, as well as their hits, \u2018Where\u2019s The Love\u2019, \u2018I Will Come To You\u2019, and \u2018Penny & Me\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also featuring on tour is British pop trio New Hope Club, who scored a Top 5 hit with their self-titled debut album and have since exceeded 2 billion streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, rising UK pop-punk purveyors, The Tyne complete the support line-up with their big choruses and catchy hooks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first track to launch the 20th anniversary celebrations will be a new version of Busted\u2019s song \u2018Loser Kid\u2019 featuring Simple Plan, which will be released on April 14th. ‘Loser Kid<\/a><\/strong>‘ featured as the final track on their self-titled debut album and was co-written by Bourne, Simpson and Willis. Pre-order\/pre-save\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Busted\u2019s many successes spread far beyond the singles charts. Three of their four studio albums also peaked at #2, with 4.5 million sales leading to eight Platinum certifications as well as a total of 25 weeks in the Top 10 and two 5x Platinum selling albums. They have won two BRIT Awards – Best Pop Act and Best British Breakthrough – while multiple sold-out arena tours have seen them sell more than 2 million tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Busted\u2019s 20th anniversary tour follows Charlie Simpson\u2019s recent triumph as the winner of 2023s \u2019The Masked Singer\u2019, adding to his other projects which have included four solo albums and four albums with the rock band Fightstar. James Bourne is a renowned songwriter, with credits including McFly, The Jonas Brothers, 5 Seconds of Summer, and The Vamps, as well as his band Son of Dork, and two recent solo albums, \u2018Safe Journey Home\u2019 (2020), and \u2018Sugar Beach\u2019 (2022). After releasing his debut solo album, Matt Willis famously won \u2018I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out Of Here\u2019 leading to a successful television career as well as acting roles which have included the recent West End hit, \u20182:22 A Ghost Story\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
