Because Busted are specifically going on a 20th Anniversary Greatest Hits tour, it’s likely that the setlist will consist of songs from their first two studio albums: Busted, which was released in 2002, and A Present for Everyone, released in 2003. Off the bat, we already know one song that Busted will almost 100% be performing throughout their 2023 tour, and that’s their new upcoming single titled Loser Kid 2.0 featuring Simple Plan. Even Bourne said in an interview with Before we move on, however, I think it’s important that we all get on the same page. I’m pleased to report that I still somehow remember all the lyrics to more songs than I would like to admit.

Catch us listening to Year 3000 on repeat ✌. Busted are back baby! They've announced they're going on a major reunion tour to mark their 20th anniversary.

Speaking to The Sun, Matt Willis said "Now it feels like it's meant to feel. Right now it feels like it's barely even begun." If you're like us and scouring that list for a Dublin date, we can confirm the worst for you - they seem to only be touring the UK right now!

Busted fans will still be reeling from the band's comeback tour news.
