Commenting on the tour, Page Hamilton said:"I swore off anniversary tours after Meantime & Betty 20th celebrations, but we worked with our former label to re-release Betty in the US and decided to.
We're stoked to get back to Europe to perform the entire "Betty" album for the last time. It's been 30 years since we released it; we just did a US limited edition version that includes songs that were not on the original release. See you soon!"
