As the boyband did not give details of their tour and has us thinking and waiting, we will write a little about this group that has been around for more than 10 years and has thousands of fans around the world who sing and shout their songs and hits.

5 Seconds of Summer, often abbreviated as 5SOS, is a pop rock band that formed in Sydney, Australia in 2011. The band consists of Luke Hemmings (lead vocals, guitar), Michael Clifford (guitar, vocals), Calum Hood (bass guitar, vocals), and Ashton Irwin (drums, vocals). Over the years, they have gained a large following of fans around the world with their catchy pop rock anthems, high-energy live shows, and relatable lyrics.

The band’s origins can be traced back to Hemmings and Clifford, who met in school and began posting covers of popular songs on YouTube. Hood and Irwin joined the band shortly thereafter, and they began to gain a following on social media platforms such as Twitter and Tumblr. In 2012, they were discovered by One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, who tweeted a link to their cover of his band’s song “Gotta Be You,” which helped to boost their popularity even further.

The band’s debut single, “She Looks So Perfect,” was released in 2014 and became an instant hit, reaching the top of the charts in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. The song’s catchy chorus and relatable lyrics about self-esteem and body image struck a chord with fans, and helped to establish the band’s signature sound of upbeat pop rock with a punk edge.

5SOS’s stage show is known for its high energy and crowd interaction. The band members are known for their playful banter and antics on stage and often engage in playful competitions or pranks during their shows. Their live performances are characterized by catchy hooks and sing-along choruses, which often prompt fans to jump, dance, and sing along with the band.

The band has also produced a number of memorable music videos over the years. Their video for “She Looks So Perfect” features the band members stripping down to their underwear and performing on the streets of London, while their video for “Amnesia” features the band members performing in a desolate desert landscape. Their videos often showcase the band’s playful personalities and sense of humor, while also conveying the emotional themes of their music.

Over the years, 5SOS has continued to evolve and experiment with their sound, incorporating elements of pop, rock, and punk into their music. Their most recent album, “CALM,” released in 2020, features a more mature and introspective sound, exploring themes of love, loss, and mental health.

One of the things that sets 5SOS apart from other pop-rock bands is their dedication to writing their own music and playing their own instruments. The band members are all skilled musicians in their own right and often collaborate on the songwriting process. Their music is characterized by catchy hooks and sing-along choruses, but also features thoughtful lyrics that explore themes of love, heartbreak, and growing up.

In addition to their music, 5SOS is also known for their dedication to social causes. The band members have been vocal about their support for causes such as LGBTQ+ rights, mental health awareness, and environmental activism. They have also used their platform to speak out against issues such as gun violence and police brutality, and have encouraged their fans to get involved in social activism and political engagement.
