Ooh, that sounds real nice! Obviously the concert would've been better but it's the next best thing!

Exactly! Decided to watch the anniversary show with some birthday cake in my old concert merch so at least that was something 😂

Ash and Philo 🖤

Fun fact if you ever visit us here in Ireland:

It's very common for musicians to leave picks in Philo's bass as a mark of respect. I always make sure to bring one with me whenever I do a day trip to Dublin to pay my respects to the icon who inspired me to start playing bass when I was little 🖤

Happy birthday! I'm sorry you can't attend the concert:(

Thank you so much 🖤🖤 my little cousin's going with my aunt now because she got offered a ticket last minute so she's gonna try pick me up a tshirt at least 🖤

My friends actually got me a tattoo voucher for my birthday as well so I might get some 5SOS lyrics on me 😅

It should be 5SOS concert time for me today but due to my immunocompromised status it's just my 24th birthday now...

[wheny0uwalkaway]

My 5SOS ticket is officially refunded and I actually feel like bawling my eyes out 😭😭😭

The best I can do as an immunocompromised fan now is use the money to buy from their merch store and spend the evening watching The 5 Seconds Of Summer Show.

Also it'll be my birthday. Not a great day for it...

I can't stop laughing help.

Luke Hemmings accidentally sparking a rumour that he got married in secret all because he doesn't know how to use TikTok properly has to be one of the most Luke Hemmings things to ever happen.

No Shame tour starting just a few weeks away in my location and I'm petrified I'll have to give up my ticket now because I'm super high risk and this country is handling Covid horrifically bad 🙃

Bro when I say I'd die for 5SOS I don't mean it this literally.

[wheny0uwalkaway]

I will be crying for the foreseeable future.

[wheny0uwalkaway]

Ashton???

Writing with LP???

What a day to be me 😍

[wheny0uwalkaway]

You're telling me Michael's been married an entire YEAR??????

[wheny0uwalkaway]

Hey

Maths exam be like:

Calum has 83 apples. He starts a country western duo with his friend Michael. How many of those apples are on the floor now?

[wheny0uwalkaway]

Petition for this album to actually be released.

I'm not even joking I want this on vinyl.

[wheny0uwalkaway]

Thank you Michael for instilling self worth in us all.

It's hard to believe I've spent a whole 10 years of my life now listening, watching, supporting and memeing with these four guys.

Teenage me first subscribed to Luke's YouTube just before the others came along. I remember him and Michael discussing band names. I remember first seeing them play with Ashton. I remember hoping that I'd have others to share in the excitement that was 5 Seconds Of Summer one day.

When they finally had a gig in Ireland supporting One Direction I immediately volunteered to bring my little cousin to see that concert. She spent all her birthday money covering herself in 1D merch while I bought myself two 5SOS tshirts and some wristbands that I proceeded to wear constantly to spread the good word. My friends there all fell in love with Luke. Took every ounce of my energy not to be the annoying one who goes WELL I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT HIM FOR AGES HAVEN'T I.

Next 1D concert and I of course volunteered to bring the cousin again so I could see 5SOS. It made me happy to see I wasn't alone in buying their merch this time. They deserved that. They were finally smashing their way into the mainstream music scene and it made me so proud.

They eventually started playing actual shows here - and I've been to every tour that stopped by Dublin. I've watched them go from four boys on YouTube with a dream to one of the biggest artists in the world. It actually makes me emotional.

They shift beautifully from one album to the next, innovating and growing more and more while never abandoning the core of their sound. It's been an amazing 10 years. Bring on more.
