American pop-rock trio Hanson have announced their return, with the Anthem World Tour to arrive Down Under in August. The tour will mark Hanson’s first ever appearance in New Zealand, and the band’s return to Australia following their 2012 Shout It Out Tour.
Hanson’s sixth studio album, Anthem, is set to be released digitally this Friday, 4th April in Australia and New Zealand, alongside the album’s lead single Get The Girl Back. Anthem will be the fourth album Hanson have released on their own label 3CG Records, which they founded in 2003.
Anthem, which was reportedly slowed by sibling tensions within the band, was produced and written by the band, and mixed by Tom Lord-Alge. The band have toured in support of the album over the last 12 months, playing in North America, Latin America and Europe.
Lead single Get The Girl Back features guest appearances pop-soul act Fitz and The Tantrums. The track’s accompanying music video (below) stars Kat Dennings (Thor, Two Broke Girls) and Nikki Reed (Twilight, Thirteen).
Hanson’s Anthem Tour of Australia and New Zealand kicks off in Brisbane on Tuesday, 5th August, before taking in the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Fremantle, before winding up in Auckland on Sunday, 17th August.
