Hanson in Melbourne Aug 10, 2014 | Photos

When I was in high school and every single girl had posters of Hanson in their locker except me (I was busy listening to No Doubt and Aqua), if someone had have told me that one day I would photograph them, I definitely would not have believed it.

So anyway, last night I photographed Hanson for their Anthem tour at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne. The squeals were almost deafening – I’ve never been to a One Direction or Ed Sheeran concert, but I imagine the crowd sounded the same.

I didn’t stick around to hear Mmm Bop, but I did hear Where’s The Love (the only other song of theirs I can remember hearing in high school). They put on a great show, and for a theatre venue where it’s seating only, everyone was on their feet from the very beginning.

Here’s some of my favourite shots from the gig.

[SET LIST] Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - Aug 9 2014

Fired up
Where´s the love
Scream and be free

With you in your dreams
Crazy beautiful

Something going around
Tragic symphony
Thinking bout something
Minute without you
Penny and me
Give a Little

Original Setlist was this, but it was changed, because Zac was feeling sick.
