A Decade in the Making
Since their formation in Sydney in 2011—initially rising to international fame as viral YouTube artists and joining One Direction on their blockbuster stadium tours—Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin have continuously reinvented themselves.
They transitioned from high-energy adolescent pop-punk anthems into a slick, alternative pop-rock band celebrated for lush instrumentation, sharp lyricism, and massive stadium hooks. Earning a reputation as the first Australian band to have their first three studio albums debut at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200, 5SOS has sustained a fierce, global community of followers.
Their last performance in Taiwan took place way back in 2016. Over the last ten years, their catalog has expanded dramatically with era-defining smashes like “Youngblood,” “Teeth,” and “Easier,” making this upcoming Taipei stop much more than a routine tour stop—it is a full-circle celebration of shared growth between the band and their loyal fans.
What to Expect on the Setlist
While official setlists vary slightly night-by-night, the EVERYONE’S A STAR! tour blends fresh cuts with timeless fan favorites. Audiences can look forward to an explosive mix of:
- New Era Tracks: High-energy performances of songs like “NOT OK,” “No. 1 Obsession,” and the tour’s title track.
- Emotional Mid-Tempos: Heartfelt sing-alongs driven by Luke’s soaring vocals on tracks like “Ghost of You” and “Amnesia”.
- High-Octane Bangers: Crowd-pleasers like “She’s Kinda Hot,” “Youngblood,” and “She Looks So Perfect” that guarantee the Taipei Music Center will be shaking from front to back.
