Busted perform ‘Year 3000’ on CD:UK in 2003
Busted have become legendary over the years, and this year marks 20 years since the inception of the first-ever real British pop-punk trio. To mark the occasion, Charlie Simpson, Matt Willis and James Bourne are getting back together to celebrate their continued success and their music, as well as tour the country. It’s no surprise their comeback is such a big deal, considering Busted have sold more than 2.4 million records worldwide, as well as 1.8 million singles in the UK.
To coincide with their triumphant return, Busted are hitting the road once again to play some of the biggest venues around the UK throughout September 2023 on a “greatest hits tour”. Not only are they making appearances in London and Birmingham, but they are also venturing to Glasgow, Manchester and Cardiff as well.
Tickets for Busted’s 20th anniversary comeback tour go on sale at the end of the week, and we’ve got all the information you need to get involved.
Before that, however, there is a massive presale event going on, but you’ll need to act fast if you want to get tickets before anyone else.
When do Busted presale tickets come out?
Presale tickets for Busted’s UK tour go on sale tomorrow, Wednesday, March 29, 2023, at 9am.
This presale event will kick off on the Ticketmaster website, where you can buy tickets to your show of choice here. This is also a good chance to secure tickets to some of the bigger venues throughout the tour (such as London’s O2 Arena and Newcastle’s Utilita Arena) as they are likely to sell out much faster.
However, there is a catch. In order to be eligible for Busted’s comeback tour shows, fans will need to sign up to their mailing list HERE. After subscribing to the mailing list and confirming your identity, fans will receive a presale code before 9am on Wednesday, March 29, 2023.
If fans miss out on grabbing Busted’s presale tickets, there is still one last chance to get tickets when the enormous 20th anniversary comeback tour’s general onsale tickets get released.

Who is supporting Busted on their comeback tour?
Busted have announced they will be supported by two massive artists throughout their UK tour taking place this Autumn.
Throughout the string of September shows, Busted will be joined by special guests Hanson, who are best known for the iconic song MMMBop, as well as Where’s The Love. The Tulsa, Oklahoma band are made up of brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson, and will no doubt usher fans into a wonderful night of excitement.
Busted are also being joined on the expansive tour by the bright young stars New Hope Club. The young British boyband have quite a large following online, but are relatively new to the music industry, having only formed back in 2015 – but have since earned more than 2 billion streams on Spotify. Their poppy and thrilling hits are sure to fit right into Busted’s incredible tour.
Busted are also working with a slew of other artists on their upcoming re-releases of their classic songs.
