Busted’s series of 2.0 remakes of their biggest hits is proving to be one of the most fun concepts they’ve ever embarked upon. The trio - James Bourne Charlie Simpson and Matt Willis - have relished the opportunity to work with bands they’ve always admired (Simple Plan, Neck Deep and Hanson, with many more to come), while fans have seen their old favourites given a fresh lease of life. The series now continues as Busted give ‘Crashed The Wedding’ a new vibe with the help of featured artists All Time Low.
This new take on ‘Crashed The Wedding’ is a classic case of: if it’s not broke, fix it anyway. It’s the song you’ve always loved, just with the guitars cranked up to 11, the drums hitting harder than ever before, and its sweet vocal harmonies have become far more layered and energised. The original, from 2003, is of course a bona fide Busted classic - a Gold-certified song which became their second #1 smash, and a crowd-pleasing highlight of the band’s countless sold-out arena shows.
Busted’s Charlie says, “I’ve been listening to All Time Low since they released their debut EP ‘Put Up Or Shut Up back in 2006.’ It’s so awesome to have them on board for reimagining one of our biggest songs.”
All Time Low add, “I had the pleasure of getting to know these guys when we worked together on a couple tracks for the McBusted album. Getting the call to come in and help recreate an iconic Busted song was a no-brainer. Loved being a part of this one!”
‘Crashed The Wedding 2.0’ follows the recent news that Busted will play the all-star Radio 2 in the Park event in Leicesteron September 16th.
All evidence suggests that Busted are just as big as they were the first time around. Upon announcing details of this year’s arena tour, they sold almost 150,000 tickets instantly - resulting in numerous shows being sold-out and many more being added to the schedule to keep up with phenomenal public demand, which will see them play to a total of 300,000 fans.
