Busted London concerts: When will the show start and what will the setlist be?

James Bourne , Charlie Simpson , and Matt Willis crashed the 02 Arena on Sunday (September 10) for the first of Busted ’s three London shows scheduled for this summer.

The beloved English pop-punk band played hits from their number one single-filled discography.

The London 02 show is believed to have sold out fast during the pre-sale stage, with only limited tickets now available for the remaining two dates in the capital.

The musicians are celebrating their 20th anniversary with an arena tour across the UK and a brand-new album of their reworked classics.

The tour will see the trio, made up of James Bourne, Charlie Simpson, and Matt Willis, play their biggest hits and fan favourites.

Here is a look at when their London concerts are, who their supporting acts will be, and what their setlist is likely to include.

When are the Busted concerts?

Busted will perform in London’s O2 Arena thrice this autumn. These dates are:

• Sunday, September 10

What time will Busted be on stage?

Doors will open at 6.30pm and Busted are expected to be on stage at around 8.45pm, based on previous shows.

Who are Busted’s supporting acts?

Busted is set to be supported by the American pop-rock band Hanson and the British band The Tyne.

Hanson, which includes the three brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac and two supporting musicians, is best known for their 1997 hit song MMMBop, which earned them three Grammy nominations. The band has sold over 16 million records worldwide since.

The Tyne, on the other hand, is a four-piece band of youngsters who are making a name for themselves in the music scene.

What is Busted’s setlist?

Given the fact that Busted has just released an album of their reworked classics, the band will be performing these live.

Last month, it was revealed that Busted’s Charlie Simpson was ‘Rhino’ on the latest season of The Masked Singer .

The frontman made it to the final round of the hit UK show, where he ultimately was crowned the winner of the fourth season. Following his win, singer-songwriter James Arthur took to Twitter to respond to fans who believed it was him behind the disguise .

“Fuck me I can’t wait till everybody stops blowing my phone up every Saturday thinking I’m on telly singing dressed as a rhino,” he wrote. “@CharlieSimpson id know that voice anywhere… One of the best out there #maskedsinger now everyone piss off and leave me alone.”

He later tweeted again, adding: “Honoured to be compared to @CharlieSimpson by the way. It’s about time he got the recognition he deserves.”

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Busted announce return with massive UK arena tour and reworks of hit songs to celebrate more than 20 years since debut

Share this with

It’s official – Busted are back, and they’re bringing new songs and a massive UK tour with them.

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 – comprising vocalists Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis, all 39 – 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.

That’s not all: the group are preparing to release no fewer than 15 songs.

Rather than brand new tracks, Busted have created reworks of some of their most iconic songs and will perform them alongside some other major names from the scene.

The first release is a new version of Loser Kid, from Busted’s debut album; the track will hit airwaves on April 14 and will feature pop rock stars Simple Plan.

Other upcoming singles will have special guests McFly, All Time Low and more, with names to be released at a later date.

Busted 20th anniversary tour dates

September 2 – Plymouth, Pavilions September 3 – Cardiff, International Arena September 5 – Swansea, Arena September 6 – Bournemouth, BIC September 7 – Brighton, Centre September 9 – Birmingham, Utilita Arena September 10 – London, The O2 September 12 – Bridlington, Spa September 15 – Nottingham, Motorpoint Arena September 16 – Newcastle, Utilita Arena September 17- Leeds, First Direct Arena September 19 – Aberdeen, P&J Live September 20 – Glasgow, OVO Hydro September 22 – Liverpool, M&S Bank Arena September 24 – Manchester, AO Arena

Tickets for the tour will go on general sale at 9am on March 31, however fans who sign up to Busted’s mailing list will receive access to a pre-sale from 9am on March 29.

Rumours of a comeback for the group have circulated since Fightstar musician Charlie hinted to Lorraine Kelly ‘ there may be some plans ’ for a reunion.

‘It is the 20 year anniversary for Busted this year,’ he added.

‘Sworn to secrecy again… but there may be some stuff in the pipeline.’

Busted were first formed in 2000 and released their first, self-titled album in 2002, before their 2003 album A Present For Everyone threw them into even wider fame.

Their split in 2005 devastated fans, with many remembering genuine tears in the playground the day the news was announced; all three went on to form solo careers or front new bands.

Busted returned – in a way – in 2013, when Matt and James teamed up with McFly for supergroup McBusted, and Charlie finally returned in 2015, completing the original lineup.

Busted, The O2, London live review

It’s two decades – yes really – since Busted first arrived on the UK music scene with ‘What I Go To School For’, which reached number three on the UK charts. Since then they’ve released a further seven top 10 singles, four studio albums and played a string of sell-out shows around the country as well as internationally. Now, to celebrate their 20th anniversary, they’re about to release their ‘Greatest Hits 2.0’, which sees them reworking their hits alongside artists from the world of pop and rock including Simple Plan, All Time Low and Hanson. They’re also currently out on a mammoth 26-date tour, including three stops at London’s O2 Arena – the first of which was last night.

After a five minute warning from Stephen Fry, a musical warmup of Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ and ‘Thunderstruck’ by AC/DC, and a video intro from Christopher Lloyd as Doctor Emmett Brown, the band arrived on stage silhouetted against the big screens to cheers so loud they practically took the roof off the O2. They kicked off their set with ‘Air Hostess’, and right away the whole room was on their feet (where they stayed for the rest of the night) singing and dancing along. That energy was absolutely reflected on stage, with Matt and James running along the walkways and spinning around as Charlie encouraged the crowd to sing along, although to be fair they didn’t need much help with that! To me that song is the essence of Busted – cheeky, playful and a whole lot of fun – and it provided an absolutely perfect start to the show.

What followed was a 90-minute run through the band’s greatest hits, picked exclusively from their first two albums, as well as a lively, grungy duet on ‘MMMBop’ with support act Hanson which was basically a dream come true for every 90s kid in the building. I also particularly liked the nods to the band’s history in the video screens of old Nokia phones and MSN Messenger-style chat boxes alongside clips from their early years, as well as the lyrical tweaks on tracks like ‘Loser Kid’ (“takes me back to 2003”) and ‘What I Go To School For’ (“so she may be 53”), which also saw some hilarious Polaroid-effect graphics. However, it wasn’t entirely a nostalgia-fest either – many of the tracks got updated to their 2.0 versions, particularly ‘Meet You There’ which featured a driving, pop punk-influenced sound that was a complete departure from the original.

Perhaps surprisingly, some of the standout moments came on the slower songs. ‘Sleeping With The Light On’, which saw James playing acoustic guitar as the crowd lit up the room with their phones and sang along to its anthemic chorus, was an early highlight that saw Matt declare, “that was beautiful, I think I’m in love”. New song ‘Good One’ was also a strong moment, with its anthemic earworm of a chorus that’s guaranteed to stick in your head and showed off a slightly different direction for the band with its slightly 80s sound before the first pyrotechnics of the night kicked in. Elsewhere, Charlie got the opportunity to show off his vocal chops on a heavier, reworked version of ‘3am’ which at one point saw him hit a note that was almost a scream in terms of its power and delivery (and saw Matt dropping to his knees at the song) in front of a dramatic flame effect, as well as hitting a massive note on the fiery kiss-off song ‘You Said No’.

That said, there was still plenty of room for the more uptempo, high-energy songs too. ‘Falling For You’ saw the trio running along the walkway waving to fans without breaking a sweat or missing a line of the humorous lyrics as smoke machines went off in the background before finishing the song with a guitar riff-off, whilst they got the chance to rock out on the fast-paced, rapid-fire ‘She Wants To Be Me’, which saw Charlie tossing his hair as Matt leapt about the stage. I also loved seeing the three of interact with each other on stage, whether that was cracking jokes about the box office success (or lack thereof) of ‘Thunderbirds’ before launching into a driving version of ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’ or taking the mick out of McFly in the intro to the biting ‘Who’s David’. It’s clear they get along really well and are having an absolute whale of a time performing together – as Matt himself said, “I f***ing love being in Busted”.

The band closed the main portion of the show with ‘Crashed The Wedding’, after Matt delivered an incredibly heartfelt speech about making plans for the tour and how surprised they were by the response – it’s now the biggest UK arena tour of 2023 – as well as declaring “we’re the happiest we’ve ever been and it’s all thanks to you beautiful people… thank you from the bottom of our hearts”. The song itself really summed up the entire show – thrashing guitars and drums, an exuberant performance from the trio as they ran around the stage and the original video played in the background, and 20,000 people singing as loud as they could (plus more pyrotechnics at the end!). As they left the stage the crowd roared and stomped in demand for another song, and they returned with a clip from their Brit Award win before a raucous performance of the Undertones’ classic ‘Teenage Kicks’. To round out the night, it was – what else? – ‘Year 3000’, with yet another Christopher Lloyd intro and the band encouraging the crowd to “‘get low down, we’re gonna jump” as they belted out the song and leapt around the stage, then launched confetti over the crowd. They revved up the audience for one huge final cheer and could be spotted hugging fans before going into a long drawn-out guitar riff to send everyone on their way with an utterly euphoric moment.

Overall Busted delivered, in their own words, ‘an awesome show’. At the start of the set, Matt asked the crowd, “wanna jump up and down and lose our minds?” and they absolutely took that literally – it was by far and away the loudest crowd I’ve ever heard in The O2. The band themselves responded to them by delivering a high-energy, hugely entertaining performance that was full of joy and showed the strength of their connection with each other as well as with the fans, and was pure fun from start to finish – I don’t think I’ll have a better time at a gig this year. They promised “if you want us we’ll keep coming back” and I think it’s safe to say that we definitely do. To quote Charlie, “here’s to the next 20 years!” And in the meantime, there’s still the matter of getting that number one album (and James losing his tattoo bet – if you know you know…).

Set list: 1. Air Hostess 2. Meet You There 3. Loser Kid 4. You Said No 5. Everything I Knew 6. MMMBop (with Hanson) 7. Sleeping With The Light On 8. Good One 9. What I Go To School For 10.
