Busted shared a retro video on 21st March, along with a date and the hashtag #Busted20, leaving fans super excited. Then, following ANOTHER video from the band on Thursday 23rd March, they have now announced they are reuniting for their 20th anniversary.

Taking to Instagram, the band wrote: 'Busted is back 💥 Tickets for our 20th Anniversary Greatest Hits tour with special guests @hanson go on sale next Friday 31st March. Check out the link in our bio to access pre sale. Loser Kid 2.0 featuring our friends @simpleplan will be out on the 14th April. A decade is a long time, two decades is an even longer time. We can’t wait to see you. #Busted20'.

Before Tuesday the band, consisting of Charlie Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis, hadn't posted on their socials since last summer.

This second video follows the theme of the first, with an old TV showing clips from the band performing on stage, before stopping and just showing static. Once again, fans have been left wondering what it could mean!

One fan wrote: 'This has to be A Present for Everyone 20th anniversary tour... please!', with another saying: 'cannot wait!!!!'. (sic)

In yesterday's post the video featured the same old TV with a built-in VCR. Someone pushes a video tape into it, which had Busted written on it, the TV then showed some static before revealing the band's logo.

The boys captioned the video: '23/03/23 #Busted20', teasing something could be happening tomorrow (Thursday 23rd March).

Fans were quick to speculate at what this post could mean with one fan writing: 'OH MY GOD!!!!!', and another saying: 'Tour? 👀'. A third fan wrote: 'WAIT WHAT 😱😱😱'. (sic)

As fans will know, the band formed back in 2000, before having a hiatus between 2005 and 2015. During their hiatus Busted joined forces with McFly to create the supergroup, McBusted in 2014. The band then reformed as Busted in 2015, before starting another hiatus in 2019.

Until now, since their hiatus in 2019, they had only posted a handful of times, including last year - celebrating their 20th anniversary, and in 2021 sharing two photos of the band saying: 'One 💿 Of 💿 A 💿 Kind'.
