Busted announce 2017 Night Driver UK tour

If you feared that you would have to wait until the Year 3000 for another Busted tour, well you're in luck because one is happening next year.

Busted will embark on their Night Driver tour in the first three months of 2017 in support of their impending album of the same name. Featuring promotional track Coming Home and the new single On What You're On, Night Driver is released on November 11.

Charlie, Matt and James will embark on a 21-date jaunt, stopping off at everywhere from Norwich, Plymouth and Newcastle through to Aberdeen and Dublin.

“As soon as we started making music it became very apparent that we all wanted to make exactly the same thing," the band explained in regard to the new record. “The last thing we wanted to do was try to recreate what we used to have. It belongs to that time. All real artists evolve, all real artists try things, it’s unnatural not to."

Busted will be in pursuit of their first Official Albums Chart Number 1 with Night Driver; their 2002 album Busted and 2003 collection A Present for Everyone both reached Number 2. Luckily for them, they've had four Number 1 singles. Click here to view Busted's full UK singles chart history.
