Impossible though it may seem, it’s been twenty years since Busted bounced into the charts with the irrepressible pop-punk energy of their debut single What I Go To School For.

It kickstarted a succession of hits for the trio, including the number smashes Crashed The Wedding, Who’s David,Thunderbirds Are Go, You Said No and the Top 3 singles Year 3000, Air Hostess and Sleeping WIth The Light On.

Now Busted celebrate their 20th anniversary by announcing details of a major UK arena tour including Utilita Arena Birmingham on 9 September, alongside a series of new versions of fifteen of their classic hits to be released in the build-up, with some very special guests.

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 150,000 people over the course of fifteen shows this September.

Supporting Busted in Birmingham will be the iconic Hanson. The pop trio brothers are behind hits including the number 1 smash MMMBop, Where’s The Love, I Will Come To You and Penny & Me. The line-up will also feature New Hope Club, who scored a Top 5 hit with their self-titled debut album and have since exceeded 2 billion streams.

Busted play Utilita Arena Birmingham on Saturday 9 September. Tickets go on sale at 9am on 31 March here.
