Rocking Back to Taipei: 5 Seconds of Summer’s Epic Return for the “Everyone’s a Star!” World Tour

For fans of pop-rock powerhouse 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS), the wait has been nothing short of agonizing. After years of hoping, streaming, and crossing fingers, the Australian quartet—consisting of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin—is finally making a triumphant return to Taiwan.

As part of their massive “Everyone’s a Star!” World Tour, 5SOS is set to light up the Taipei Music Center on November 25, 2026. For local fans (famously known as the “Fam”), this isn’t just another concert—it’s a milestone celebration a decade in the making.

A Decade-Long Reunion

It feels like just yesterday that fans were blasting “She Looks So Perfect” and “Amnesia” in their bedrooms, watching the boys transition from YouTube-coveted pop-punk upstarts to global arena headliners. Over the years, 5SOS has masterfully evolved their sound, shifting from energetic power-pop anthems to sophisticated, synth-driven indie rock found on records like CALM and 5SOS5.

While the band has continued to conquer festivals and major cities worldwide, Taiwanese fans have waited nearly ten years for another chance to see them live on home turf. That long drought makes the upcoming Taipei show one of the most anticipated stops on their entire Asian leg.

What to Expect from the “Everyone’s a Star!” Tour

True to its tongue-in-cheek, Y2K-inspired thematic style, the “Everyone’s a Star!” tour leans heavily into high-energy performance, sharp retro aesthetics, and deep emotional connections.

Concertgoers can expect a dynamic setlist spanning their entire career:

• The Classics: Nostalgia-heavy throwbacks that defined the mid-2010s pop-rock scene.
• Fan Favorites: Emotional deep cuts and soaring vocal harmonies led by frontman Luke Hemmings.
• Solo Spotlights: Highlights from individual members showcasing their multi-instrumental talents and vocal growth.
