Busted are busting back on tour, the pop punk trio, consisting of Matt Willis, James Bourne, and Charlie Simpson were one of the biggest bands in the UK.  

Forming back in 2000, the pop punk trio, consisting went on to sell millions of records and capture the hearts of thousands of youngsters across the country.  

But unexpectedly, during the height of their success in 2005, the band called it quits and went their separate ways - much to fans dismay.  

But after a couple of comebacks, solo projects and a supergroup later, the original trio have announced that they’re back for good, and are embarking on a 20th anniversary tour.

The iconic three-piece ruled the airwaves in the early noughties with earworms including Year 3000, Air Hostess and What I Go To School For. 

 It’s somehow been more than 20 years since Busted – burst onto the scene, and they have something very special ahead to celebrate. 

 Fans had already become convinced the Who’s David stars had something major planned, with the official Busted social media pages updating their banners to include the date March 23.

Well, it is now March 23, and it has been revealed Busted are coming back for a massive 15-date UK arena tour, kicking off in September and with tickets going on sale next week.

The tour will see James, Charlie and Matt perform their biggest hits along with fan favourites (hello, Nerdy and 3am) with support from Mmmbop stars Hanson and New Hope Club.
