Background
The tour was first mentioned in 2016 while the band was 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.
Alongside promoting the tour, the band also announced they would headlined the "Hop Jam Beer and Music Festival" in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[4] The band are co-creators of the music festival but this year marks the first time they have headlined the event.[5] Following their performance, the band released the single, "I Was Born".
The band also announced appearances at the 2017 edition of Summerfest[6] and the Eat to the Beat Concert Series.[7]
