Busted Announce First-Ever Australian Tour

English pop-punk band Busted have finally announced their first-ever Australian tour.

The band will perform for fans on an East Coast tour later this year, and they’ve locked in support from Aussies Between You & Me.

Kicking off the tour at Melbourne’s Forum on Wednesday, 30 October, the band heads to Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Hotel Ballroom on Friday, 1 November, and wrap it up at Sydney’s Roundhouse on Sunday, 3 November.

The band said of their debut Australian shows, “Finally…. Can’t believe Busted have never actually played in Australia. We are so excited to get over to the east coast this Oct/Nov. It’s gonna be mega! Let’s jump around and lose our minds!!! Busted are fully back!”

Pre-sale tickets go on sale this Thursday, 4 July, at 9 am local time via the TEG Live website. Next up is the Ticketek and venue pre-sale on Friday, 5 July, at 9 am local time, before the general sale begins on Tuesday, 9 July, at 9 am local time.

You can find more ticketing details via the TEG Live website.

Busted made headlines last year after reworking the Hanson classic, MMMBop, in preparation for the two bands’ co-headline tour.

“It’s been such an honour to sing this 90’s classic song with the band who made it 25 years on from original release,” Busted’s James Bourne said in a statement. “To have them as special guests on tour with us in September will be really special too, we’re huge fans of Hanson!”

Hanson’s Taylor Hanson added, “It’s been a thrill to reimagine ‘MMMBop’ with Busted and to see how a song with such history comes to life in a new way. This is a true fusion of HANSON and Busted, we can’t wait to share it.”
