				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The acclaimed musical group, Busted, have announced their return to the stage, in celebration of their 20th anniversary. The band is embarking on a tour across the United Kingdom, called the <em>20th Anniversary &amp; Greatest Hits Tour</em>, will feature Charlie Simpson, Matt Willis, and James Bourne, and is scheduled for the autumn season.</p>
<p>In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Charlie Simpson, talked about how he thought the music industry had changed in the last 20 years, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3X5YWC3Beo">said,</a> <em>&#8220;The music industry is unrecognisable, it&#8217;s like the way people consume music, the way, um, just the way the industry works is so different.&#8221; </em>Matt Willis, told Good Morning Britain, what it feels like to be performing again and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3X5YWC3Beo">added</a>, <em>&#8220;We’re the same idiots that we were when we were 16 in a bedroom making music.&#8221; </em></p>

<p>Busted is set to be supported by the American pop-rock band Hanson and the British band The Tyne.</p>

<p>Fans can expect to hear songs from their new album <em>Greatest Hits 2.0. </em>Busted have taken some of their biggest singles and reworked these songs with 15 feature artists, including, You Me at Six, Dashboard Confessionals, Wheatus, Jonas Brothers and many more.</p>

<p>Busted had a remarkable comeback in 2013 when Matt and James joined forces with McFly to form the highly anticipated supergroup, <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/busted-and-hanson-team-up-for-reworked-of-90s-hit-mmmbop/">McBusted</a>. The reunion of the original lineup was further solidified with Charlie&#8217;s return in <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/busted-announce-comeback-tour-and-promise-of-new-materi">2015</a>, after pursing his own solo career. In February this year, <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/charlie-simpson-releases-ep-after-winning-the-masked-singer-uk/">Charlie</a> Simpson won the fourth series of The Masked Singer as &#8216;Rhino&#8217;, making him the first male winner in the UK .</p>
<p>In 2019, the group decided to take a break and go on hiatus. Now, after a significant four-year gap, their comeback is expected to be their most significant and enthusiastically received return to date.</p>
<p>With the success of the tour, Busted announced on their social media, that they would be preforming at the Hits Live show in Birmingham and Manchester 24th/25th November.</p>
