Hi, things are a little dead right now, so I wanted to ask you if you have any predictions about the tour, like which songs from the new album do you think they’ll sing? do you think they will do some kind of surprise song or a dynamic for each date? What do you think Luke will wear on tour? I feel like he has changed his aesthetic for for every tour they’ve done, like he always wears different things.
you, my dear friend, are the sort of person who keeps this little fandom chugging along on tumblr against all odds, and THANK YOU for that. <3
ok, so. tour. i am soooo excited for tour and i can't believe we're going to have such a steady stream of content for so long AND that it's all starting in a month. never kill yourself etc. now, to your questions!
i think for the new album, they'll probably do the 5 songs they've already performed from it, plus isinsa and maybe a couple more. honestly i could see all the songs from eas! potentially making the setlist because all these songs were literally created to be performed live, so it's just a matter of what works the best along with the rest of the set.
evolve seems likely, and if ashton gets his way the rocks will make the cut. i would commit murders for jawbreaker, but out of all the main album tracks that one seems the least likely to ever get played live. start over, though...given how popular it's been with the fandom, that one might actually have a tiny shot if the band likes how it feels live. a slim chance, maybe, but they've had bonus tracks on the setlist before so there's hope!
it would also be fun to get some songs from older albums that we haven't heard live yet - there are quite a few from calm and 5sos5. i don't think it's super likely since they have so much to fit into a limited amount of time as it is, but it also wouldn't surprise me if one or two "new old" songs snuck onto the setlist.
they've talked a lot about making the show interactive, so i do anticipate some sort of show-specific activity, but it may or may not be song-related. it's not in their nature to do things they've done before, so if they do come up with a surprise song type bit, i don't think it will be a random old song like with the dice.
as far as luke's outfits, i think probably similar to what we've seen him wear for eas! promo. jerseys, baggy pants, boots, maybe a leather jacket for the first few songs of the set. in the past he's started tours trying out a range of things and then kind of settling into what he likes and staying with that for at least one leg of tour, then maybe switching it up a bit for the next leg. for tmh, he almost never repeated an outfit fully, but for the 5sos show he wore that same white shirt for like 30% of the shows, so it'll be interesting to see how much variety he works in with this tour.
with all that being said, i'm going to be optimistic and predict he's going to get gradually sluttier as the tour progresses. :) if there's any era where it makes sense, it's this one. by the end of tour i want that man in crop tops and leather pants. at minimum i would love to see that sheer white tank top from the album cover shoot make an appearance on stage. i'm also very curious to see if he keeps spiking his hair for shows or if that's too much effort for an entire tour.
i find predictions really difficult in general but especially with 5sos just because the things they come up with can be so out of pocket sometimes, no one could predict it. based on what we've heard about this tour so far, they seem to really want to go big and create a spectacle, so i think all we can do is expect the unexpected. and also skits. now that those men know skits are an option, they'll never be stopped.
maybe we'll finally get to see those boyband auditions. maybe the pink limousine will make an appearance. maybe there will be some sort of overarching narrative to the show where the skits tell a story as the show progresses. maybe some daily sauce segments from that day will get woven in with the show. maybe luke will tell us more about the lorax's anus!
one thing i do know: this tour is the perfect opportunity for luke to strap himself into a harness and fly over the crowd.
