LOS ANGELES, CA — 5 Seconds of Summer have plenty to celebrate – starting with their much-anticipated self-titled album release today, on Capitol Records. With a collection of global No.1’s already to date, the band continues their U.S. onslaught and announces they will perform for one night only at the Forum in Los Angeles, on Saturday, November 15. In true 5SOS manner, the Aussie quartet invites their loyal fans to join in the festivities: the ticket pre-sale will begin live, at the Forum box office, starting Saturday, July 26 at 11:00 am, and offer another exceptional opportunity for the 5SOS fans to commune and rejoice the week of release.
In addition, the band’s U.S. release week includes a special concert on the TODAY Show plaza on July 22, followed by a full-on block party with ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Thursday, July 24.
This album has already peaked at No.1 globally on iTunes in 71 countries, and has secured more preorders than any other artist in the history of Universal Music Group. Each of the band’s instant grat tracks debuted at No. 1 on iTunes upon release and has continued to outsell one another. Their EP She Looks So Perfect debuted at No. 2 in the U.S. on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums chart and No. 1 on iTunes in over 50 countries. (iTunes.com/5sos)
