Busted perform live

The trio who have sold more than five million records, had two four-times platinum selling albums and had four number one singles are out of tour for the first time in 12 years, will play the racecourse on July 22.

The band said: “We’re really looking forward to putting on an awesome show at Newmarket this summer.

“Going to the races is such a great day out, we’re stoked to be joining the party and we’ll be playing a full set to close out the day, including the hits. Hopefully we’ll make a bob or two on the horses while we’re at it.”
