HANSON: Changes Coming
Mar 04, 2025 | Admin
HANSON DAY 2025 + Big Changes for HANSON.NET & HDAY Coming
This year is the 25th anniversary of HANSON.net. These years have allowed us to foster a thriving community of people who are connected by a common thread, music. Through this special bond, we have been able to grow and foster connections with people across the globe. What started on March 31st, 2000, as an internet service provider has grown and changed in ways we never could have imagined, and has enabled us to withstand the changing landscape of our industry. Through thick and thin, we have felt the unwavering devotion of you, our Hanson.net members. Thank you!
One particularly special thing this online community has facilitated is our physical Members Only Events. For 15+ years HANSON DAY has been a landmark gathering of the community in our home town, which features special activities, concerts and a chance for members to connect with one another.
This week we’re sharing the official schedule of events and posting tickets for a simplified HDAY 2025 (May 22nd - 24th) which features our most popular events - concerts, karaoke & a dance party, See full event schedule here.
Big Changes for Hanson.net.
At the center of HANSON.net is a band of brothers who have stood side by side working to make music we love, and to share that love with others, for 33 years. Our mission for HANSON.net has always been to give YOU, our members, the kind of access and experience that we would hope to get from our favorite bands. After months of consideration, heading toward this 25th anniversary milestone, we believe there is a need for evolution and change in the coming year. We are looking ahead to plan for some significant changes in the coming year, and those changes will come in a few forms.
HANSON.NET membership is going to change.
Starting March 30th all memberships will be offered as a pro-rated monthly offering, and this new offering will be provided until March 31st 2026. After that date, the current membership offering will conclude. During this year of reflection, we will be working to determine if there is a new model for HANSON.NET which aligns with our plans for the future.
2025 Members EP
The H.net members EP is a key part of every year’s membership. Because of the outpouring of love for the Underneath Experience tour, the 2025 Hanson.net EP will not be five songs, but instead a double live album, including more than 40 songs mixed and mastered and exclusively available to Hanson.net members (this one’s for you, Pat).
What is most important to us is that you know how incredibly grateful we are to YOU. Thank you for sticking with us through so many seasons. We have always been guided by an aspiration for the future and the determination to wade through life’s challenges with a spirit of optimism. We have been so incredibly blessed to have you as a Hanson.net member in all its forms. What a gift it has been to create a community that has been shared by so many around the globe. Thank you for making that possible. We’re excited to see you in Tulsa this May!
Thanks for being a part of HANSON.net, and thanks for listening - Isaac, Taylor and Zac

I must say I'm kinda concerned. What does this mean for the band in general? This almost feels like a farewell.

Thank you for the details. I am optimistic to hear what lies ahead for Hanson. This live album ep sounds exciting, I have always loved the live & electric album and can’t wait to hear how this comes out. Thank you for all you do. See you in May! ❤️🥁🎸🎹

As far a the monthly rate goes...for those of us who have already renewed for the year, is there anything we need to do? Or will our updated membership hold like normal?

i think nothing changes, it's only for newer members. like, if you join in august 2025 it will be monthly instead of a year
idk. this doesnt sound good to me :/

Sounds to me like the guys are retiring, at least as a band.
If that’s the case, I wish they would let us know that directly instead of the guesswork.
As invested as we’ve been for 25 years, a solid breakup announcement would be better than all of these question marks.
Makes me glad I’m married and not in the dating pool, honestly 😂

So... 1) what about those who have renewed already and have memberships ending after March next year?
2) it was stated last week that the band had started working on the new EP. What changed? I mean, double live album is nice, but people complain about no new music.
So after March next year, what do I do? Lose pins and listen to Miley Cyrus? I suppose you haven't said what plans are.

I think maybe if we had behaved more grateful for everything they’ve done for us over the years instead of behaving like entitled brats who think bc we spend money they owe us maybe they wouldn’t be so exhausted trying to keep up with our expectations. I’m sad but we shall see what happens.

"As far a the monthly rate goes...for those of us who have already renewed for the year, is there anything we need to do? Or will our updated membership hold like normal?"
Your membership will be fine. It's really not a monthly rate. What it means is that memberships will be pro-rated based on your renewal month until March 2026. It will be explained more in a couple weeks. If you've already renewed and your membership expiration is after 3/31/2026, the store will get your membership pro-rated and you'll receive an email about any refund due. If your membership has or will renew and have an expiration before 3/31/2026, you won't need to do anything. The pro-rating will start to apply in April.
