5 Seconds of Summer’s EVERYONE’S A STAR! tour begins tonight at Auckland’s Spark Arena. From there, the band heads to Australia.
The Australian shows take place at Brisbane’s Riverstage on Wednesday, 28 October; Sydney’s Afterpay Arena on Friday, 30 October; Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Monday, 2 November; the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Wednesday, 4 November; and Perth’s Kings Park on Friday, 6 November. Tickets are available here.
5 Seconds of Summer are touring in support of their latest album, EVERYONE’S A STAR!, released last November.
The making of EVERYONE’S A STAR! saw 5 Seconds of Summer holed up in Los Angeles and Nashville studios with producers Jason Evigan (Benson Boone, Papa Roach, Rüfüs Du Sol), Julian Bunetta, and John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter, Teddy Swims).
“This band is made of four people who could all have their own solo albums where they do it all, sing it all, and write it all,” lead vocalist Luke Hemmings said. “Everyone’s A Star! embodies all of that.
“We were teenagers at the beginning of 5 Seconds of Summer. We were writing with more naivete, but we said what we were thinking. As time goes on, you tend to get a bit more cautious about what you say, but I think this record has more of our original spirit—but with 15 years of wisdom and a dash of reckless abandon.”
Fellow Australian band Cub Sport will open the shows.
