Regarding the tour’s nickname, Franti explains, “I think in this world we are constantly trying to divide the human family into groups that we can call ‘other’. It is important to stand up for the values ​​of embracing our differences, being ourselves authentic and accepting others to be themselves. Sometimes it’s hard work. Somewhere along the way, our society seems to have forgotten that working hard and being kind to other people, regardless of their history or beliefs, is always important. In fact, it is more important than ever.
The tour comes a little over a year after their last album, Stay Human, Vol. 11, which landed in January 2019. A remix of the ensemble arrived in November, featuring four songs from the original album, including the surprising “This World Is So F * cked Up (But I Ain’t Ever Giving Up on It). “
