Busted – set to play Newmarket Nights 2024
The Jockey Club Live and Newmarket Racecourses are delighted to announce the return of the award-winning Newmarket Nights series in 2024. After nothing short of a landmark year for the trio, BUSTEDwill be making their triumphant return to the July Course on Friday 19th July.
Impossible though it may seem, it’s been twenty years since BUSTED bounced into the charts with the irrepressible pop-punk energy of their debut single ‘What I Go To School For’. It kickstarted a succession of hits for the band, including the #1 smashes ‘Crashed The Wedding’, ‘Who’s David’, ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’, ‘You Said No’ and the Top 3 singles ‘Year 3000’, ‘Air Hostess’ and ‘Sleeping With The Light On’.
Finally adding a #1 album to their chart achievements last month – three of their five studio albums peaked at #2 – Charlie Simpson, Matt Willis and James Bourne are truly back and stronger than ever. 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 next Summer.
Sophie Able, General Manager of Newmarket Racecourses, said
“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.”
Busted said
“We had an unbelievable time on our anniversary tour this year and can’t wait to continue celebrations in the summer! Outdoor shows are some of our absolute favourites, and we’re looking forward to seeing you all in the glorious sunshine.”
Newmarket Nights continues to be the premier entertainment destination for the East. Renowned for combining an electric evening at the races with a spectacular evening concert in an informal and relaxed open-air setting, the award-winning series is set to return for 2024.
The concerts continue to bring some of the nation’s biggest music talents to the green, with recent headliners including Bastille, Anne-Marie, Olly Murs, Pete Tong and The Script. In addition to world-class live music, the events provide a selection of culinary delights for all, ranging from street food to Newmarket’s array of exceptional restaurants.
