Busted: Everything you need to know about tonight's Scarborough Open Air Theatre show
Pop punk chart toppers Busted are performing at Scarborough’s Open Air Theatre tonight (August 31)- Here’s all you need to know!
It has been 20 years since Busted first 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 Number One 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’.
Busted’s many successes spread far beyond the singles charts. Three of their four studio albums also peaked at Number 2, with 4.5 million sales leading to eight Platinum certifications as well as a total of 25 weeks in the Top 10 and two 5x Platinum selling albums.
They have won two BRIT Awards – Best Pop Act and Best British Breakthrough – while multiple sold-out arena tours have seen them sell more than two million tickets.
‘Greatest Hits 2.0’ consists of re-recordings of tracks from their first two albums, ‘Busted’ (2002) and ‘A Present for Everyone’ (2003), as well as brilliant new song ‘Good One’. The album also featured a host of collaborations with the likes of Jonas Brothers, James Arthur, You Me at Six, The Vamps and McFly.
The doors open at 6pm and support acts include Skinny Living and Soap.
