Today the hours are starting to line up with the sunlight as we get acclimated to the time change on the other side of the water back in the USA. Still resonating in our jet lagged bodies is the warm reflection on a great run of concerts across the UK. For an entire month we were honored to share the stage with new friends Busted as they celebrated 20 years of being a band. Having been spoiled with so few times in our career where we were not headlining the night, we had plenty of questions about how this particular outing would play out but each night we were buoyed by the great response from fans old and new and in no small part encouraged by the welcome reception from the band expressing their earnest appreciation for our participation in the tour. We will say it again for sure, but as we are fresh on the heals of this run we most definitely are sending out a heartfelt thanks to James, Matt and Charlie for making us feel welcome and bringing a lot of joy to many fans throughout this great tour both together and apart.
We have more videos and snapshots to reflect on the final week coming up soon, but we are happy to spoil the ending for those that did not get to join us in person. It was a great run and one that has us excited for the next time we get to return to the island across the pond.
Thanks for listening.

Thank you so much for coming and putting so much effort into meeting so many fans! It was brilliant getting to watch you in Bridlington and Nottingham, and finally getting to meet you after 26 years, and getting photos with you twice!
I’ve met some lovely people on this tour too, which was a massive bonus!
I can’t wait until you return! Hopefully soon!

Thank you for coming! I must confess that I was sceptical at first - of course, I knew Busted (they were HUGE in the UK 20 years ago) but they were never my thing (although, I did like Charlie's solo nu-metal project, Fightstar). I thought it would all be a bit like the MOE tour with a short setlist of greatest hits, and then a long slog throuh Busted's set.
As it turned out, you switched up the setlist a bit every night and not only that - you looked totally in your element in big arenas, running around the catwalk. Busted were really good live and I ended up enjoying their sets a lot. I will certainly follow them from now on - their later, more mature work and their latest single are really different from their earlier songs (there is only so much I can take about teenage boys fantasies about their school teacher).
I was only going to do 4 shows, but I ended up adding two more at the end, because frankly it was worth it. Now I wish I had done even more but - boy, arena tours are expensive (I hope the next tour will be back to medium size venues).
This tour deserves a full blog post, which I will try to write, but the spoiler is - you guys looked revitalised. I wonder if not having the responsibility of carrying a whole tour was what you needed - you were able to travel to the UK, play music without the usual pressure of selling venues, organising everything and making everybody happy.
Thank you for coming and come back soon!

So happy for you. Almost everything that was good about this tour was about you, to see your joy, your experiences, your generosity, in so many ways. It was wonderful to share your fun expeditions around the UK and Ireland. To see you having fun in places so well known to us, places we visit and love, brought extra joy. Watching and hearing you in those enormous spaces was really something else. The lights across and filling space like a small universe, and listening to songs that have been a life journey for so many, and watching you all in that moment was beautiful. Im glad that it was possible for you to do this, to make so many new fans here in the UK. I spoke to many Busted fans, and without exception, those I spoke to, loved your performances. There was huge love for you. ❤️??
I want to say a special thanks to Demetrius and Andrew. Their performances are always gracious and generous. Andrew always throws out a smile of recognition and adds that special sauce on the right side of the stage, and Demetrius is such a star in every way. Thank you gents.
From buying tickets for this tour, to Meeting and Greeting, meeting up with friends, meeting known Hanson fans for a first time, and being with people who love good music, this tour, like all tours, was full of gems. Thank you Lynette, Kerri, Nic, especially. ???
I can't say that Arenas would be my prefered place to see Hanson, but I want you to do the best for you and whatever it is and wherever it is, somewhere, under the Super Trouper, I'll be there.

I'm so pleased I got to see you play for the first time, and I can't believe it took me so long!!
In my head you have always been the band that saved my 12 year old self and gave me an escape through your songs, so I left you in my past for a lot of years with the memories. Only in the past year have I reconnected with your music and realised how much I have missed out on, but I'm so glad I did because you have given me so much joy in listening to everything you have achieved.
I will most definitely be seeing you guys again and hopefully be lucky enough to say thank you in person ❤️
Also, the Chips & Dip song is forever in my head!
