About 5 Seconds of Summer

Formed in Sydney, Australia, in 2011, 5 Seconds of Summer, affectionately known as 5SOS, have evolved from a youthful YouTube sensation into a formidable force in the global pop-rock landscape. Comprising Luke Hemmings (lead vocals, guitar), Michael Clifford (guitar, vocals), Calum Hood (bass, vocals), and Ashton Irwin (drums, vocals), the band first captured international attention by opening for One Direction on their global stadium tours. This exposure served as a springboard for their own burgeoning career.

Their self-titled debut album, released in 2014, was an instant commercial success, topping charts worldwide and spawning massive hit singles like “She Looks So Perfect,” a track that became synonymous with their early, energetic punk-pop sound. This was swiftly followed by the equally successful “Don’t Stop” and “Amnesia.” The band continued to refine their sound with subsequent albums, showcasing a growing maturity and a willingness to explore diverse musical territories.

“Sounds Good Feels Good” (2015) featured the anthemic “She’s Kinda Hot,” a track that solidified their status as stadium-filling artists. Their third studio album, “Youngblood” (2018), marked a significant artistic leap, embracing a more mature, synth-infused pop-rock sound and earning critical acclaim. The title track, “Youngblood,” became a global phenomenon, a powerful and emotionally charged anthem that resonated deeply with a broad audience and became their first number-one single in Australia. More recently, “Calm” (2020) and “5SOS5” (2022) have seen the band continue to experiment and grow, delivering a blend of introspective lyrics, sophisticated arrangements, and the signature high-octane energy that fans adore. With a catalogue of undeniable hits and a reputation for electrifying live shows, 5 Seconds of Summer are poised to deliver an unforgettable performance in Munich.
