Formed in Sydney, Australia, in 2011, 5 Seconds of Summer has grown from local high school friends into one of the biggest bands of the 21st century. Over 14 years, the multi-platinum group has sold more than 18 million albums, moved more than six million tickets worldwide, generated over 10 billion streams and achieved three Billboard 200 No. 1 debuts, while winning multiple accolades at the ARIA Awards, MTV EMAs, MTV VMAs and beyond. Known for their genre-defying collaborations and globe-spanning tours, the quartet — Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin — continues to reinvent what a modern band can be.
With the release of their highly anticipated sixth album, “Everyone’s a Star” — their first under Republic Records — 5 Seconds of Summer is ushering in their most ambitious era yet, led by the explosive singles “Not Ok,” “Boyband” and now “Telephone Busy.”
