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.

Known for She Looks So Perfect, Youngblood, Somebody Told Me, Wants U Back, Teeth

5 Seconds of Summer + St. Louis

5 Seconds of Summer played Saint Louis Music Park on July 24, 2022, bringing a 24-song set to the St. Louis crowd. The setlist mixed eras well -- No Shame and Red Desert from the newer stuff, Castaway and Old Me from the deep cuts. BLENDER made an early appearance, and they worked through COMPLETE MESS and Wildflower before getting to the encore. Ghost of You into Youngblood closed it out, a combination that gives the audience both heartbreak and catharsis in under ten minutes.

Live Music in St. Louis

St. Louis has a complicated relationship with pop-rock acts—the city's musical DNA runs deep in hip-hop, blues, and indie rock, but it's also proven itself as a dependable tour stop for mid-tier and arena pop-punk bands. The Pageant and The Chaifetz Arena have hosted everyone from emo revivals to mainstream pop acts, creating space for 5SOS to find their audience among younger listeners hungry for polished alternative pop.

St. Louis road trip to see 5 Seconds of Summer?

Base yourself in the Central West End, where the tree-lined streets and converted lofts give the neighborhood a genuinely livable vibe. Hit Broadway Oyster Bar for something with actual character, or Park Avenue Coffee if you need to ease in. Spend an afternoon at the City Museum—it's genuinely weird and worth your time, not a tourist trap. The Pulitzer Arts Foundation is also worth an hour if contemporary art is your thing. St. Louis takes itself less seriously than most cities, which makes it easy to move around and find decent food without overthinking it.
