The trio, made up of Simpson, James Bourne and Matt Willis,
said they would also make new music for the first time since
2004.
The band, known for hits like "Year 3000" and "You Said No", won
two Brit Awards and sold more than 5 million records at the
height of its success.
Simpson left to perform in a rock band and was later quoted as
saying his time in Busted was "like torture".
Willis and Bourne went on to join forces with fellow boyband
McFly in 2013 to form McBusted, but the trio said things changed
when they recently went to a recording studio in Philadelphia.
"This has been sort of building for the last couple of years
now, with us getting back, rebuilding our friendship," Simpson
told Reuters in a joint interview with Willis and Bourne.
"We went for a long time without really seeing each other so ...
the culmination of all that happening today was pretty wild."
Busted kick off a 13-date UK arena tour next May.
