Huge noughties boyband are added to massive Download festival line-up alongside other iconic groups
A HUGE noughties boyband have been added to the line-up for Download festival this year.
Derby-based Download takes place in June and will see the likes of Fall Out Boy and Sum 41 hit the stage.
Now the UK’s very own Busted have confirmed they’ll also be performing.
In a statement, Busted – made up of Charlie Simpson, Matt Willis and James Bourne – said: “We are honoured and privileged to be at Download Festival this year.
“To be on a bill with so many acts that have inspired us and continue to make us want to be a better band is a real moment in our career.
“We have had the most amazing 12 months of being Busted, and now we have this to add to the list.
“We are gonna go all out…Get ready to jump up and down and lose your minds with us. Busted at Download! Wicked. Let’s ‘ave it!”
Busted recently took a cheeky swipe at their music “rivals” McFly.
Speaking to The Sun, Charlie said: “It’s not sneaky, it’s an absolute rivalry.”
James added: “There’s no competition anymore, we’re the clear cut favourites!”
He then took a brutal swipe at the band, saying: “No-one remembers them anymore.
“Whenever people used to come up to me and say, ‘Oh, wait, like I like you. But you know, I also like, McFly’. Now they just go, ‘I’m so glad you’re back’. They don’t say anything about them.”
