Busted announced as first Newmarket Nights 2024 act

Rock band Busted will be making their triumphant return to the July Course on Friday 19th July.

Impossible though it may seem, it’s been 20 years since Busted bounced into the charts with their pop-punk debut single "What I Go To School For".

It kickstarted a succession of hits for the band, including "Crashed The Wedding", "Year 3000" and "Air Hostess".

Their recently concluded 26-date 20th anniversary tour became the biggest UK arena tour of 2023 and saw the band play to over 200,000 fans.

They will continue their celebrations at Newmarket Nights on Friday 19 July 2024.

Sophie Able, General Manager of Newmarket Racecourses:

“Busted last headlined Newmarket Nights back in 2016 and they’ve been long overdue a return visit. From Charlie winning The Masked Singer at the start of the year to the band finally clinching their first number one album, 2023 has truly been theirs. We can’t wait to welcome them back amongst a stellar line-up next year.

"Newmarket Nights has always been about delivering world class entertainment to create lasting memories for our visitors, and 2024 is set to be an exciting year to remember.”

The concerts continue to bring some of the nation’s biggest music talents to the green, with recent headliners including Bastille, Olly Murs, McFly and Craig David.

Tickets for Busted at Newmarket Racecourses will be on sale at 10am on Thursday 26th October via thejockeyclublive.co.uk, with a presale available at 10am on Tuesday 24th October.
