Hanson are celebrating three decades of music with a new album and World Tour.
The boyband made their chart debut in 1997 with their earworm hit MMMbop, but they’ve been performing together for much longer and plan to celebrate three decades of music with their latest project.
Due May 20, the new ‘Red Green Blue’ album brings together the band’s three unique creative voices like never before, with a third of the album written and produced by each brother (Taylor’s Red, Isaac’s Green and Zac’s Blue).

The project brings together a team of collaborators, with the album co-produced by Grammy Award-winning producer, engineer and mixer Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco), and Grammy Award-winning artist and producer David Garza (Fiona Apple, Midland, Sharon Van Etten).
“Going into our 30th year as a band we felt like it was imperative we continue to tell our story like only we can, and telling stories in ways that will continue to challenge us to grow and give people new reasons to listen,” said Isaac.
“‘Red Green Blue’ is about sharing what has made us a band that has been able to weather so many storms.”
“Our love and respect for Jim Scott has only grown since we first met 20 years ago,” explained Taylor.
“He has been behind some of our favourite albums, so it’s an absolute joy to have finally made a project together.”
Added Zac Hanson: “We have had a long friendship and deep connection with David since our early days as a band.
“We could not have had a better musical collaborator for this milestone project.”
Alongside the LP release, the band plans to hit the road for a string of international dates, beginning in June in Europe.
The ‘Red Green Blue World Tour’ will bring Hanson to the US and Canada from July – September, Latin America in September, and Australia & New Zealand in November.
In a press release, the group promises to perform 15 songs from the new project, along with tracks from 2020’s ‘Against The World’ as well as a career-spanning setlist of fan favourites.
Tickets are on sale from Thursday, January 20 at 10 am GMT.
