Background

The tour was first mentioned in 2016 while the band were creating their eleventh EP, Play. Taylor Hanson stated their plans were to release the EP and to begin a worldwide tour in 2017. The tour was officially announced in March 2017.[1] The band went on a media junket to promote the tour and to discuss the milestones: the 25th anniversary of the band's formation and the 20th anniversary of their debut studio album.[2] While on tour, Taylor plans to host and deejay at an after party, "Dance Like You Don’t Care", featuring a mix of modern and 90's music.[3]

The band also announced plans to release a greatest hits album, Middle Of Everywhere—The Greatest Hits, late in 2017.[4]

Alongside promoting the tour, the band also announced they would headlined the "Hop Jam Beer and Music Festival" in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[5] The band are co-creators of the music festival but this year marks the first time they have headlined the event.[6] Following their performance, the band released the single, "I Was Born".

The band also announced appearances at the 2017 edition of Summerfest[7] and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.[8]
