About 5 Seconds of Summer

5 Seconds of Summer started as a cover band on YouTube in 2011 before becoming one of the more durable pop-punk acts of the 2010s. The Australian four-piece built their following on TikTok before most bands knew what TikTok was, which meant they had a genuinely devoted fanbase by the time "She Looks So Perfect" hit in 2014. They've basically done the work of three different bands across their albums: the high-school-angst energy of their early stuff, the radio-friendly experimentation of Youngblood, and the more introspective pop-rock of recent years. They've never been cool by indie standards, which is partly the point. They've also never stopped touring relentlessly or caring about actually being good at their instruments, which is rarer than you'd think in modern pop. Their fans tend to be fiercely loyal, probably because the band treats that loyalty as a job, not a brand opportunity.

They've got the kind of show where everyone's singing along to every word, which makes sense given how many people have grown up with these songs. The energy is pretty straightforward—high tempo pop-punk stuff that keeps things moving, and you'll notice the crowd is mostly younger fans who are genuinely invested, not just there to hang out. They're competent musicians, the set's well-paced, and there's nothing surprising about it, which is fine. It's what you'd expect from a band that's been doing this for over a decade.

5 Seconds of Summer + Sacramento

5 Seconds of Summer played Golden 1 Center in Sacramento on December 1, 2019, with a shorter 8-song set that hit the essentials. She Looks So Perfect opened, Youngblood closed, and in between they worked through Easier, Amnesia, and Waste the Night. The What's My Age Again? cover made an appearance. A compact set that covered the basics without getting into the deep catalogue, which is what you get at certain multi-act bills.

The city's younger crowds are engaged and travel-ready, supporting touring bands at venues like Golden1 Center and Memorial Auditorium. Local acts tend toward experimental indie, so visiting pop acts like 5SOS bring something different to the market.
