What to expect at 5 Seconds of Summer’s Everyone’s a Star! World Tour: Setlist, start time and more

5 Seconds of Summer are not treating the “Everyone’s a Star! World Tour” like a conventional album tour. The band has turned its rise from teenage pop-rock newcomers to arena headliners into a theatrical, self-aware production filled with fake news reports, fan votes, solo performances, inside jokes and some of the biggest songs from every stage of its career.

The tour has already played Europe and the first stretch of North American arenas, giving fans a much clearer picture of what to expect when 5SOS continues through its summer amphitheater dates. Here is what to know about the opening act, stage time, show length, setlist, production, outfits and tickets.

Ultimate guide to 5 Seconds of Summer’s “Everyone’s a Star! World Tour”

The global tour began in Belfast on March 26, 2026 before moving through the U.K., Europe and North America. The first North American stretch ran from May 29 through July 11. After a brief break, the band resumes the North American leg on July 22 with 21 additional dates running through August 29. The broader global tour continues into Latin America, Oceania and Asia later in 2026.

The tour is part rock concert, part fictional documentary and part celebration of the relationship 5SOS has built with its fans. These are the most important details to know before attending.

Upcoming 5 Seconds of Summer “Everyone’s a Star!” World Tour 2026 dates

5 Seconds of Summer’s “Everyone’s a Star!” World Tour continues across the United States and Canada through August before heading to Mexico in September. The remaining North American schedule currently runs from July 22 through August 29.

Who is opening for 5 Seconds of Summer on the “Everyone’s a Star! World Tour”?

The Band CAMINO is the primary supporting act for the North American leg. The Nashville alternative-pop band has been playing an approximately 40-minute opening set built around songs including “Daphne Blue,” “See Through,” “What I Want,” “Baggy Jeans” and “1 Last Cigarette.”

There is one notable exception. The August 1 Salt Shed date in Chicago is billed as an official Lollapalooza aftershow with Elephant Heart rather than The Band CAMINO.

What time does 5 Seconds of Summer go on stage?

For North American concerts with an 8:00 p.m. listed start time, The Band CAMINO has generally started at 8:00 p.m. and 5 Seconds of Summer has followed between approximately 9:00 and 9:15 p.m.

Based on prior North American shows, 9:00 to 9:15 p.m. is the most useful expectation for an event listed at 8:00 p.m. It is not a guaranteed time, particularly as the tour moves into amphitheaters with different curfews and operating schedules.

How long is a 5 Seconds of Summer concert?

The 5SOS headline set lasts approximately one hour and 45 minutes to one hour and 50 minutes.

Including The Band CAMINO, the changeover and the headline set, an 8:00 p.m. concert typically runs until around 11:00 p.m. Fans should budget at least four hours from entering the venue to leaving their seats, plus additional time for amphitheater parking or post-show rideshare traffic.

What is the 5 Seconds of Summer “Everyone’s a Star! World Tour” setlist?

The tour’s current show is substantially longer than a standard festival or promotional set. 5SOS performs 26 core songs plus a rotating surprise selection, bringing most nights to approximately 27 full songs along with video interludes, comedy segments, a brief “Pizza Song” callback and other transitions.

The exact surprise song can change by city, but this is the seven-act structure used across recent North American concerts.

The surprise-song vote is one of the most unpredictable parts of the concert. Songs selected or offered during the tour have included “Try Hard,” “Disconnected,” “Start Over,” “Heartbreak Girl” and “What I Like About You.” The available choices and winner can change from one city to the next.

What songs from “Everyone’s a Star!” does 5SOS perform?

The tour is closely tied to the Everyone’s a Star! album rather than simply borrowing its title. Recent North American shows have included eight songs from the record.

“NOT OK,” “No. 1 Obsession,” “istillfeelthesame,” “Boyband,” “Telephone Busy,” “Evolve,” “I’m Scared I’ll Never Sleep Again” and “Everyone’s a Star!” all appear in the current structure.

Those songs shape the show’s fictional story about fame, success and the downfall of “the world’s biggest boyband.” They are balanced with material from every previous 5SOS studio album, so the concert still feels career-spanning rather than dominated entirely by the latest release.

Does 5 Seconds of Summer play older hits?

Older 5SOS songs are a major part of the second half of the show. “Amnesia,” “English Love Affair,” “Voodoo Doll,” “Waste the Night,” “Jet Black Heart” and “She Looks So Perfect” create an extended nostalgic run before the finale closes with “Youngblood.”

The tour also goes further than simply revisiting hit singles. Each member performs a song from their solo catalog during Act IV. Luke Hemmings sings “Starting Line,” Ashton Irwin performs “Have U Found What Ur Looking For?,” Calum Hood leads “Don’t Forget You Love Me” and Michael Clifford performs “enough.” It is a rare setup for a 5SOS arena-scale tour, folding all four members’ solo material into the group’s main show at once.

Is there an encore at the “Everyone’s a Star! World Tour”?

The final act serves as the encore. 5SOS returns with “Everyone’s a Star!” before ending the concert with “Youngblood.”

At several arena dates, the band began “Everyone’s a Star!” by entering or moving through the crowd, turning the title song into one of the night’s most interactive moments. “Youngblood” then closes the show with another confetti release and a final full-arena jump. The crowd route may not be possible at every amphitheater, so fans should not assume the band will pass their exact section.

What is the “Everyone’s a Star! World Tour” production like?

The production is built around a fictional version of 5SOS navigating the peak, collapse and eventual return of an enormously successful boyband. Instead of using simple blackouts between sections, the show connects its seven acts with fake news broadcasts, mock interviews, fictional controversies, awards-show parodies and behind-the-scenes videos. The premise allows the band to make fun of celebrity culture and its own history without losing the emotional weight of songs like “Ghost of You,” “Amnesia” and “Jet Black Heart.”

The entrance establishes the scale immediately. At arena shows, the band has emerged around a large limousine-style stage piece, with Ashton Irwin’s drum kit elevated above it. A circular runway extends into the audience, giving Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford and Calum Hood room to perform closer to fans on the floor. Large video screens carry the story, while hot-pink lighting, leopard-print graphics and star imagery reinforce the visual identity of the album.

The show does not take itself too seriously. A deliberately low-tech “PowerPoint break” gives the band an opportunity to compare reactions to old and new songs, revisit fandom lore and make jokes tailored to the city. Previous presentations have referenced local food, landmarks, celebrities and old 5SOS memes, making the scripted production feel slightly different at each stop.

Other effects have included star-shaped confetti, giant pink inflatable balls, dramatic phone-light moments and a mock award presentation during “Boyband.” A fan-voted surprise song and the members’ solo performances add enough variation that the show never feels like a completely fixed production.

The outdoor amphitheater run may require modifications to the circular runway, crowd walk or other arena-specific elements. The videos, narrative structure, main stage pieces and effects are still expected to carry over, but the precise configuration will depend on each venue.

When should I arrive for a 5 Seconds of Summer concert?

For a standard 8:00 p.m. show, aim to reach the venue between 7:00 and 7:15 p.m. That should leave time to clear security, find your section and be ready for The Band CAMINO. Fans who want merchandise, food or photos should arrive closer to 6:30 p.m., particularly at amphitheaters where parking lots and entrance lines can be spread across a large property.

Try to be in your seat or lawn area by 7:45 p.m. The Band CAMINO’s recent opening set began promptly at 8:00 p.m. and ran for about 40 minutes, followed by a roughly 35-minute stage change before 5SOS. Arriving at the listed start time may be enough to see the headliner, but it means missing the opener and leaves little room for parking or security delays. Lawn-ticket holders may want even more time to claim a preferred spot.

What should I bring to a 5 Seconds of Summer concert?

Start with the things that will save you trouble at the gate. Have your mobile ticket loaded before you leave, not when you reach the parking lot, and make sure your phone has enough battery left to get you through entry, merch photos and the trip home. A portable charger, photo ID and a credit or debit card are the safest basics for this run.

Because so many of the remaining dates are outdoor shows, pack for a long summer evening rather than just the moment you walk in. Sunglasses and sunscreen can matter on the way to your seats, while a light rain layer is usually more useful than an umbrella if the weather turns. Some venues allow a sealed water bottle or an empty refillable bottle, but bag size, blanket rules and prohibited items can change from stop to stop, so check the venue page before you head out.

Shoes matter here too. Even with a reserved seat, this is still a stand-most-of-the-night kind of show, and amphitheater lots can turn the walk in and out into more of a trek than fans expect.

What should fans wear to the “Everyone’s a Star! World Tour”?

Fans attending the completed global dates have leaned heavily into the tour’s visual world. Common looks have included silver fabrics, sequins, glitter, leopard print, star motifs and bright pink pieces inspired by the album artwork and stage production. Other fans have stayed closer to the band’s pop-punk history with leather, black boots, oversized band shirts, dark eyeliner and heavy silver jewelry.

The result is less like a single required dress code and more like two sides of 5SOS: exaggerated rock-star glamour and early-2010s pop-punk nostalgia. A star-covered top with black denim, a vintage 5SOS shirt with metallic accessories or a leopard-print piece with comfortable sneakers would all fit the atmosphere.

For an outdoor show, build the outfit around the weather rather than the photo. Lightweight fabrics and shoes that can handle several hours of standing will matter more than a complicated outfit while the sun is still up. Bring something light for after dark instead of wearing a heavy jacket throughout the show.

Is the “Everyone’s a Star! World Tour” good for younger fans?

The main tour attracts a multigenerational audience that includes longtime fans who discovered 5SOS as teenagers and younger listeners who entered through “Youngblood,” “Teeth” or the band’s newer music. The production contains loud music, flashing lights, confetti and sustained crowd noise, so hearing protection is a good idea for children and noise-sensitive guests.

Families should also account for the late finish. With 5SOS generally performing until approximately 11:00 p.m., it may be midnight or later before fans leave an amphitheater parking lot and reach home or a hotel. Age policies are determined by the individual venue.
