Don't Settle (Vol. 1 - Transmissions East) Glen Hansard

“Don’t Settle - Transmissions East” is the first release of two volumes coming out in 2026. Highlighting an incredibly prolific and diverse career, this isn’t just a ‘Best Of’ - it’s a live studio album, it’s no second takes, no autotune, no editing. Just live, raw, direct energy that captures the magic of Glen like nothing released before.

Recorded at the legendary Funkhaus in Berlin, a historical East German radio and recording studio, with a huge acoustically perfect orchestral live room - the album was captured in a controlled studio environment, yet recorded and filmed across two nights in the round, with 600 fans in the room each night.

This release is supported by a feature length film and Making of, documenting this special time in Glens’ career.
