British pop-punk band Busted will perform at Eatons Hill Hotel in Brisbane for the first time ever, as part of their highly anticipated Australian tour.
The band, formed in Essex in 2000, rose to fame in the early 2000s with hits such as *What I Go to School For* and *Crashed the Wedding*. Despite their success in the UK and worldwide, the group has never performed live in Australia until now.
Their debut Australian tour includes stops in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, giving long-time fans an opportunity they’ve been waiting over two decades for.
They will perform in Brisbane on Friday, 1st November.
A Pop-Punk Legacy
Busted’s popularity soared after their debut single, “What I Go to School For,” reached #3 on the UK charts. This was quickly followed by chart-topping hits like “Year 3000,” “Crashed the Wedding,” and “Thunderbirds Are Go.” Over the years, the band has sold over five million records worldwide, earned two BRIT Awards, and maintained its status as one of the UK’s most beloved pop-punk acts.
After a 20-year career, the band recently marked its anniversary by releasing its Greatest Hits 2.0 album, which topped the UK charts in 2023. This album brought collaborations with notable acts such as Simple Plan and All Time Low.
Busted expressed their excitement for their long-awaited Australian tour, noting their surprise that they had taken so long to perform in the country. They have promised an energetic show, inviting fans to “jump around and lose their minds” as they relive the hits that made them famous.
Support from Australian Talent
Melbourne-based pop-punk band Between You & Me is joining Busted on their Australian tour. This rising local band is set to open all three of Busted’s Australian shows, bringing their flavour of high-energy music to the stage.
Tickets for the Brisbane show at Eatons Hill Hotel and the other tour dates went on sale on 9th July, with pre-sales happening earlier for eager fans.
This marks a milestone in Australian pop-punk culture, with long-time listeners finally able to experience the iconic UK band live on their home soil.
The show at Eatons Hill Hotel promises to be a highlight of Busted’s tour, as Brisbane fans prepare for what will likely be a night filled with nostalgia and fan favourites from the band’s extensive catalogue.
