Rocking Back to Taipei: 5 Seconds of Summer’s Epic Return to Taiwan
For fans of pop-rock royalty 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS), the wait has been nothing short of agonizing. After years of hoping, streaming, and dreaming, the Australian powerhouse band made a monumental announcement: they are officially returning to Taiwan for their “EVERYONE’S A STAR! WORLD TOUR”.
Marking a major milestone for local fans, this upcoming concert signals 5SOS’s long-awaited comeback to Taipei after nearly a decade.
The Road to Taipei: A Decade in the Making
It’s hard to believe how much time has passed since 5SOS—composed of Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin—last connected face-to-face with their Taiwanese fan base. From their early days as YouTube-covering teens and global pop-punk sensations opening for One Direction, to evolving into a critically acclaimed, genre-bending alternative rock band, the quartet has continued to smash streaming records worldwide.
With massive eras like Sounds Good Feels Good, Youngblood, CALM, and 5SOS5, the band has accumulated billions of streams. Yet, for fans in Taiwan, experiencing those anthems live has been a distant dream—until now.
What to Expect at the Taipei Music Center
The Taipei Music Center (TMC) is set to host the high-energy spectacle. Known for its futuristic architecture and incredible acoustics, the venue provides an intimate yet electric atmosphere, ensuring that every fan in the house has a stellar view and an unforgettable audio experience.
- Date: November 25, 2026
- Venue: Taipei Music Center (Nangang District, Taipei)
- Ticketing & Packages: Ranging from general admission tiers starting around NT$3,380 to exclusive VIP perks like the Obsession Seat Package (featuring soundcheck access and limited-edition merchandise), ticket sales through Tixcraft sparked an immediate frenzy among dedicated “5SOSFam” members.
Why This Tour Matters
The “EVERYONE’S A STAR!” tour title feels deeply fitting for a band that has always championed a deep, personal connection with their audience. Unlike traditional polished pop acts, 5SOS brings a raw, instrument-driven live energy—showcasing Luke’s soaring vocals, Michael’s blistering guitar riffs, Calum’s punchy basslines, and Ashton’s thunderous drumming.
For Taiwanese fans who grew up screaming the lyrics to “She Looks So Perfect,” “Amnesia,” and “Youngblood” through their computer screens or earphones, seeing these tracks performed live in person is a full-circle emotional moment.
