magical and whimsical and gay

Last fall, Dan Howell and Phil Lester broke the internet.

In a 46-minute video titled "Are Dan and Phil in a Relationship? The Truth," the OG British YouTubers finally revealed - after 16 years of speculation - that they're a couple, and have been since they started making videos together in 2009. The news made headlines around the world and delighted their 3 million fans, many of whom had shipped "Phan" for over a decade.

With the news finally out, the pair is leaning in. Shortly after the announcement in October, they started the "Hard Launch" podcast, which quickly climbed to the top of the charts. And last week, it was revealed that they would be embarking on a 65-date "Hard Launch" tour starting in September - including stops in Mexico, the U.S., U.K., Europe, Australia and Singapore - their fourth overall but first as a public couple.

"We just want to go on stage and be completely ourselves and not hold anything back," Lester says.
