DUE TO EXTRAORDINARY DEMAND 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER
ADD ANOTHER DATE IN CARDIFF TO THE
SOUNDS LIVE FEELS LIVE
2016 ARENA TOUR
New studio album ‘Sounds Good, Feels Good’ and
latest single ‘Hey Everybody!’ are out now
Due to extraordinary demand, 5SOS will be adding a second show in Cardiff to their ‘Sounds Live Feels Live’ UK and Ireland 2016 tour. The ‘Sounds Live Feels Live’ tour will see them play to their army of dedicated fans over the course of April next year. Tickets for the new date go on sale on Friday 30th October at 9am.
The ‘Sounds Live Feels Live’ arena tour follows the overwhelming demand for the 2015 ‘Rock Out With Your Socks Out’ tour which took the band all over the world performing for over a mil- lion fans across three continents.
The band say, “We had such a blast on the Rock Out With Your Socks Out Tour. It was a big mo- ment for us – our first ever headline arena tour, it is what you dream of. We are going to try and make this tour even better than the last and the best live show possible for you guys. This is such a huge thing for us to be able to come and see you all. We can’t wait to play you the new album and loads more, we love you guys and hope you are as excited as we are.”
One of many standout tracks from the new album, new single ‘Hey Everybody’ is a confident all-out rock assault to the senses – crunching guitars, high octane drumming and a belting cho- rus. Check out the video for the single which has already had over 4 million views in un- der two weeks! https://youtu.be/xPGbvv4IhNU
From the start, 5SOS were united by a love of punk-rock music and a vision of bringing it into the pop stratosphere. They played their first gig together in late 2011, performing for about a dozen people at a hotel in their hometown of Sydney, Australia. Three years later, they were headlining the Forum in Los Angeles, where they played for 25,000 fans during a sold-out, two- night stand.
‘Sounds Good Feels Good’ sees the band collaborate again with rock veteran John Feldmann (producer All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Boys Like Girls) who executive produced the album. The result is an album packed with adrenaline-fuelled pop-rock hits that give a nod to their su- per-rock turn-of-the-millennium US Alt-Rock influences. The band spent three months living to- gether in a studio in LA writing and recording an album that they have poured their hearts and souls in to and are very proud of. The new album is the follow-up to their self-titled debut al- bum, which sold in excess of three million copies worldwide making it the biggest US debut al- bum of the year.
The new album hit the No. 1 spot on iTunes in 50 different countries within hours of the pre-or- der going live and 5SOS was the No. 1 act on iTunes worldwide. Lead single ‘She’s Kinda Hot’, a lyrically mischievous riot of an anthem, also topped the iTunes charts in 41 countries.
The band spent the summer performing SOLD OUT headline shows across the UK, Europe, the US and Australia including three massive SOLD OUT nights at the SSE Wembley during their ‘Rock Out With Your Socks Out’ 2015 worldwide tour, playing to a legion of loyal fans and prov- ing that 5SOS’s electric live performances continue to be the cornerstone of their remarkable success.
5SOS were one of the biggest breakthrough stories of the last two years; five multi-million sell- ing singles, a self-titled debut album that not only topped the US Album Chart (going to #1 globally on iTunes in 76 countries) but also became the third biggest pre-order in iTunes history and the biggest US debut by an Australian artist ever.
