History-making multiplatinum Australian alt-rock and future punk / pop band 5 Seconds of Summer have announced the EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour. The tour will kick off in March with a European and UK leg running through May, followed by US dates from May to August, before heading to New Zealand in October.
Alongside the tour announcement, the band have released new single ‘Telephone Busy’ taken from their highly anticipated forthcoming new album EVERYONE’S A STAR! due November 14th and available to pre-order/save here. ‘Telephone Busy’ is out now and available to download/stream here.
Embarking on their most ambitious new era yet and pioneering a genre-bending sound, earlier this month the band announced their highly anticipated sixth studio album, EVERYONE’S A STAR! due out November 14th - and their first official new music since 2022. The album is 5 Seconds of Summer as you’ve never seen or heard them before, boldly elevating their sound and aesthetic to another stratosphere. Conceived as both a sonic leap forward and a reassertion of their identity, the record draws inspiration from artists like N.E.R.D., Gorillaz, The Prodigy and beyond, while embracing the energy that has always made 5 Seconds of Summer an electrifying live band.
They kicked things off with lead single ‘NOT OK’ and the accompanying official video, directed by Hannah Lux Davis (Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne). They followed it up with ‘Boyband’ which served as an ode to their fans and a playful nod to the label that’s followed them throughout their career.
To kick off the new chapter, the band surprised fans in Los Angeles with a pop-up performance. Announced just hours before showtime, thousands of fans lined up and down Sunset Boulevard eager to witness the start of the band’s new era and one-of-a-kind event. The band debuted new songs off the album including lead single ‘NOT OK’, ‘Boyband’, ‘Telephone Busy’, ‘No.1 Obsession’ and ‘Everyone’s A Star!’, alongside fan favourites like ‘Youngblood’, ‘She’s So Perfect’ and ‘Teeth’.
