“We have been blown away by the response to the coming tour, so to say thank you we’ve decided to put the set list in the hands of the fans – something we have never done in Australia before”, said Taylor Hanson.
Adds Isaac Hanson “This gives us a chance to celebrate all of the highlights from the last 6 albums with fans. We’re really excited to see which songs Australia wants to hear.”
Setlist voting will be take place on the band’s website, Hanson.net, and begin on July 4th at 9am AEST.
ANTHEM is the band’ss 6th studio album and the fourth to be released on their own independent 3CG Records, which they founded in 2003.
