Busted Belfast date announced for 20th Anniversary show

After leaving fans reeling that there were no Belfast or Dublin gigs announced as part of their anniversary tour, Busted are coming back to the SSE Arena.

The beloved 2000s trio will be taking to the stage in Belfast on October 8, 2023.

Impossible though it may seem, it’s been two decades 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’.

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 some 170,000 people over the course of seventeen shows across the UK and Ireland this September and October.

The iconic band Hanson behind hits including the number 1 smash ‘MMMBop’, ‘Where’s The Love’, ‘I Will Come To You’ and ‘Penny & Me’ will join as support on the tour.

Tickets go on sale from Ticketmaster.ie on Friday, April 14 at 9am.
