Busted announced as latest headliner for Bristol Sounds summer concert series

Busted has been announced as the latest headliner for Bristol Sounds.

The pop-punk royalty joins already announced acts including Placebo and James Arthur who are due to perform for the summer concert series at Lloyds Amphitheatre on Bristol's Harbourside.

The band's performance on June 27 will be their first show in Bristol since playing to a sold-out O2 Academy in 2017.

They are celebrating 20 years of success with number-one hits like  ‘Crashed The Wedding’, ‘Who’s David’ and ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’.

Conal Dodds, event promoter at Crosstown Concerts, said: “Busted resonates with several generations of music enthusiasts, and their fans have a deep connection with the band, returning time and time again to see them doing what they do best, at their very best.

"They’re celebrating 20 years and we’re celebrating 10 years of Bristol Sounds, so it’s a perfect match for us.”
