Calling all Busted fans, the trio has announced they are back in honour of their 20th anniversary.  Celebrating the milestone with a UK tour this autumn, the band’s three members, James Bourne, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson, will once again be back together on stage.

The tour features a string of dates across the UK’s cities, including the capital. The band will be heading to London’s O2 arena as well as 14 other arenas across the country.

Formed in 2000, Busted shocked fans as they announced their split just five years on. The group’s 2023 reunion is not the first time James, Matt and Charlie have reunited over the years.

Fans may remember both Matt and James teamed up with McFly in 2013 as they formed the supergroup McBusted. However, two years later, Busted got back together away from McFly as Charlie joined his two former bandmates.

As the trio prepare to hit the road this autumn, here’s all you need to know about Busted’s 20th anniversary O2 date.
