Fresh energy for 5 Seconds of Summer with EVERYONE’S A STAR!

Australian pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer (Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood, Michael Clifford and Ashton Irwin) usher in a powerful new chapter with EVERYONE’S A STAR!. The band’s sixth studio album is out today, showcasing a renewed spark and a sharper musical direction.

Musically, the band blends their signature pop-rock sound with fresh influences. Early reviews point to inspiration from acts like N.E.R.D., Gorillaz and The Prodigy.

Lyrically, it’s clear the band is reinventing itself. Themes like doubt, growth and the darker side of success run through the album. NOT OK is a fitting example — a song about acknowledging your vulnerability and getting through it together.

The title track Everyone’s A Star! reflects the idea that everyone — even far from the spotlight — has a unique part to play. The band pairs that message with nods to the long journey they’ve been on since starting out as teenagers.

Good news for fans eager to hear the new songs live. 5 Seconds of Summer will perform at AFAS Dome on 7 April 2026, bringing not only their biggest hits but also their brand-new material.
