Bring on Busted!
Two decades ‘What I Go To School For’ kickstarted a succession of hits for the band, 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’.

Finally adding a number one album to their chart achievements last year - three of their five studio albums peaked at number two - Charlie Simpson, Matt Willis and James Bourne are truly back and stronger than ever.
Their 26-date 20th anniversary tour became the biggest UK arena tour of 2023 and saw the band play to over 200,000 fans.
Molly Dingwall, general manager, Haydock Park Racecourse said: “We can’t wait for Busted to make their debut at Haydock Park on Saturday, July 20. Their huge greatest hits tour has delighted fans across the country this year and bringing the show to the course will be an unmissable night.”
