Busted to play Brighton

Tickets go on sale on Friday, October 14 on 0844 847 1515 or http://www.brightoncentre.co.uk. Spokeswoman Gemma Hook said: “Following the release of their first brand-new single in over a decade, the disco-tinged new single, ‘On What You’re On’, pop trio Busted are pleased to announce a UK headline tour. The string of dates will kick off at Norwich’s NEA on 29 January and will include performances in prestigious theatres across the country including London’s Hammersmith Eventim Apollo on 3 February before wrapping up on 1 March in Dublin. The twenty-one date tour announcement comes ahead of the release of their eagerly anticipated third album ‘Night Driver’ on 11 November via East/West Records. “Now, with a decade of experiences and newly discovered influences behind them, the two-time BRIT Award winning trio reunited in the studio almost by accident and discovered they each had a fresh perspective both personally and musically.” Band member Matt said: “As soon as we started making music it became very apparent that we all wanted to make exactly the same thing. That’s what made it so easy. Once James got on the Juno-60 we were like, ‘this is the sound of our record, this is exactly the kind of record I wanna make’. “The last thing we wanted to do was try to recreate what we used to have,” says James. “It belongs to that time. All real artists evolve, all real artists try things, it’s unnatural not to.” James, Matt and Charlie first broke onto the music scene in 2002 with their tongue-in-cheek ode to Matt’s school teacher Miss MacKenzie, ‘What I Go To School For.’ Within just two years the three-piece had become the biggest band in the country, with four number one singles, two triple platinum albums, a total of five million records sold, and over 750,000 ticket sales including and a record-breaking run of thirteen Wembley Arena shows. 2017 TOUR DATES January Sunday 29th Norwich UEA Monday 30th Cambridge Corn Exchange February Wednesday 1st Leicester De Montfort Hall Friday 3rd London Hammersmith Eventim Apollo Monday 6th Southend Cliffs Pavilion Tuesday 7th Folkestone Leas Cliff Hall Thursday 9th Newport Centre Friday 10th Plymouth Pavilions Sunday 12th Bristol Academy Monday 13th Portsmouth Guildhall Tuesday 14th Brighton Centre Thursday 16th Manchester Apollo Saturday 18th Birmingham O2 Academy Monday 20th Nottingham Rock City Tuesday 21st Leeds O2 Academy Wednesday 22nd Newcastle O2 Academy Friday 24th Aberdeen Arena Saturday 25th Edinburgh Usher Hall Sunday 26th Glasgow Academy Tuesday 28th Belfast Waterfront March Wednesday 1st Dublin Olympia Don't miss out on all the latest breaking news where you live.
