ILLENNIUM SQUARE LEEDS

Pop-punk time-travel enthusiasts Busted have today announced a major headline summer show on Thursday 11 July 2024 at Leeds Millennium Square following their sold-out and acclaimed arena tour.  

This brand-new show will see the trio – James Bourne, Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis – simultaneously rewind the clock and step into their future with a hi-octane, maximum fun show of all of their classic hits. They will be joined by fellow live favourites, the Ivor and Brit award winning Scouting For Girls.  Tickets go on sale Thursday 26 October at 10am.

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 #1 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’.

Busted’s 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.

Recently Busted stormed back into the charts with their number 1 album ‘Greatest Hits 2.0’ (listen HERE). The album features incredible guest turns from Jonas Brothers to Neck Deep, James Arthur to You Me At Six plus The Vamps, Dashboard Confessional, Deaf Havana, Charlotte Sands, Bowling For Soup, Wheatus and a whole set of Busted’s solo 2.0 updates.

Busted’s live shows so far has been packed with an electrifying, celebratory atmosphere – and the setlist is so full of hits even casual Busted fans will know almost every song. Don’t miss Busted live next Summer.
