5 SECONDS OF SUMMER BRING SUMMER NORTH AMERICAN “MEET YOU THERE TOUR” TO MEADOW BROOK AMPHITHEATRE SEPTEMBER 11

(DETROIT – April 9, 2018) –  With the spring 5SOS3 tour completely sold out, 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) is making good on its promise to fans for a more extensive outing, including larger venues and amphitheaters across the run. The “Meet You There Tour,” produced by Live Nation, includes a date at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on the campus of Oakland University on Tuesday, September 11 at 8 p.m.

Tickets ($29.50 on the lawn, $39.50 and $49.50 in the pavilion and $69.50 in the GA pit) go on sale Friday, April 13 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at 313Presents.com, LiveNation.com, Little Caesars Arena XFINITY box office and Ticketmaster.com. To charge tickets by phone, call (800) 745-3000.

Capitol Records will release Youngblood, the third studio album from 5SOS, on June 22. Today, the band shared the album’s cover and let fans know the title track will be released this Thursday, April 12, at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET.

On Youngblood, 5SOS expands its musical parameters while retaining the hooks and trademark DNA that’s always been a massive part of the band’s appeal. Vocalist/guitarist Luke Hemmings explains, “Growing up is what we had to do on Youngblood. Seven years as a band may seem like a long time, but we were teenagers when we started. We had to look at each other and say, ‘Are we going to stop now, or do this forever? Because if we continue, then we have to go farther than we ever have before.’”

The tour will launch on August 27 in Toronto, ON and include a show at Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, IL on September 8. The 25-city North American headline trek will conclude on October 12 with a concert at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre. Each ticket purchased for the Meet You There Tour also includes a copy of the forthcoming album.

5SOS will perform “Want You Back,” the first single from Youngblood, on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this Wednesday, April 11 – the eve of the band’s sold-out show at New York City’s Irving Plaza. The track debuted at No. 1 on iTunes in over 18 countries and has already amassed more than 60 million streams worldwide. “Want You Back” showcases the bold new approach 5SOS takes on Youngblood. Luke Hemmings’ passionate yearning for lost love finds him breaking into a searing falsetto on the infectious chorus. The soaring production and upfront bass line, meanwhile, finds the band exploring grooves and emotions like never before.

An acoustic version of “Want You Back” is out now along with “Want You Back” (Tritonal Remix). The official video, which was directed by James Larese (Eminem, Fall Out Boy, Imagine Dragons), can be seen HERE.

Hailed as the “biggest new rock act in the world” by Rolling Stone, 5SOS is the only band (not vocal group) in history to see its first two full-length studio albums enter the Billboard 200 at No. 1. 5SOS’s self-titled debut album has sold more than three million units worldwide, with 1.5 million albums and more than 4.5 million single tracks sold in the U.S. alone. 2015’s Sounds Good Feels Good charted at No. 1 in 12 countries, including the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. “She’s Kinda Hot,” the album’s first single, topped the iTunes charts in 44 countries. 5SOS – comprising Luke Hemmings (vocals/guitar), Michael Clifford (vocals/guitar), Calum Hood (vocals/bass) and Ashton Irwin (vocals/drums) – has won an American Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, an iHeartRadio Music Award, five MTV European Music Awards, two ARIA Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.
