A Decade in the Making: 5 Seconds of Summer Returns to Taiwan for the “Everyone’s a Star!” World Tour
For a generation of music fans who grew up screaming the lyrics to “She Looks So Perfect” and “Youngblood,” the wait is finally over. Australian pop-rock powerhouse 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) is officially heading back to Taiwan. As part of their massive “Everyone’s a Star!” World Tour, Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood, Ashton Irwin, and Michael Clifford are set to light up the stage at the Taipei Music Center.
For local fans, this isn’t just another concert stop—it’s a historic reunion a decade in the making.
The Journey Back to Taipei
It has been roughly ten years since 5SOS last connected face-to-face with their Taiwanese fan base. Over the past decade, the band has undergone a remarkable sonic evolution. What started as an energetic, pop-punk outfit touring alongside global pop giants has blossomed into a critically acclaimed, alternative-pop-rock band known for introspective songwriting, sophisticated synth-pop production, and electric live performances.
Bringing the Everyone’s a Star! tour to Taipei marks a full-circle moment. The band’s global catalog has surpassed billions of streams, and local fans—affectionately known as the 5SOS Fam—have spent years hoping the group would add Taiwan to their Asian itinerary.
What to Expect at the Taipei Music Center
The Taipei Music Center (TMC) provides an intimate yet high-energy environment for the November 25 show. Known for its stellar acoustics and modern layout, the venue is primed to capture the raw energy of 5SOS’s live instrumentation, from Ashton Irwin’s thunderous drumming to Luke Hemmings’ soaring vocals.
- The Setlist: Fans can expect a dynamic blend of nostalgic throwbacks and mature tracks from their recent eras. It’s the ultimate chance to hear everything from early-career anthems to emotional deep cuts.
- The Atmosphere: Taiwanese crowds are famous for their passionate, project-heavy concert culture (think custom light banners, coordinated fan chants, and deafening sing-alongs), meaning the band is guaranteed to receive an unforgettable welcome.
Ticket Tiers and VIP Perks
Demand for the Taipei show has been intense ever since Live Nation Taiwan announced the ticketing details.
