IT’S the reunion they said could never happen - even the members themselves have admitted it- but Busted have announce their return to the world of pop in 2016.

Matt, James and Charlie are returning to the road with a full UK arena tour, and they are working on brand new Busted music for the first time since 2004.

“For me, there’s a huge sense of unfinished business. I always thought in my heart we’d do Busted again, but that it was just a matter of when and how said Matt.

“A year ago James and I got together and just started hanging out and it felt really different, somehow, to how it had ten years ago. And the idea crept into my head after all that time apart: what would Busted look like today?” added Charlie.

Wednesday 11th May 2016 will be their first show together in 12 years – and the first time in 12 years anyone will be able to see the three members play all their greatest hits together live – among them the simply huge, unforgettable smashes What I Go To School For, Crashed The Wedding, You Said No, Air Hostess and Year 3000.

For the gig Busted will return to the home of their biggest triumph, the venue where anybody last saw them – Wembley Arena. It was here that they broke a record in 2004 by selling out an incredible 12 shows. And it’s here that they will make their long overdue comeback.

Then the group will head out onto the road, taking in Cardiff on May 24.

James said: "We’ve done this crazy, exciting, adventurous, scenic route back to being Busted. And now we're here, we’re all super-re-energised”

With an incredible five million record sales, two 4 x platinum albums and four number one singles to their name, a staggering 700,000 concert tickets sold in one year, two BRIT Awards and a Record of the Year Award, Busted are one of the biggest home-grown pop acts of the 21st century.

Now these boys are fixed, back and ready to shake up the pop world all over again.

Busted will be at the Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff, on Tuesday, May 24.
