5 Seconds of Summer Postpones World Tour, Will Use Time to Work on New Album
5 Seconds of Summer is postponing their No Shame Tour until 2022 due to COVID-19 regulations but will use the next year to work on their fifth studio album. The Australian pop-punk band known best for songs like “Amnesia” and “She Looks So Perfect” have rescheduled every stop for the following year. This is the third time that the No Shame Tour has been postponed, leaving many to wonder what the state of concerts will look like in summer.
“Everyone in 5SOS is continuing to feel more positive… everyday!” The band posted to Instagram. “Moving forward however, it’s still important that we act with caution and safety for all.”

The No Shame Tour was meant to begin in September 2020, but was postponed until March 2021 and then again until this fall. But in the band’s latest post to social media, that date was pushed back until 2022 for the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The post comes ten weeks after 5SOS announced that they were pushing back the Australian tour dates until November 2021. Just five weeks after that, all UK and European shows were postponed until 2022.
The tour was meant to highlight the band’s fourth studio album “Calm,” released in March 2020 with songs like “Old me” and “Red Desert.” It’s also the 5SOS’s 10-year anniversary. High school friends Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin formed the band in 2011 and were soon opening for acts like One Direction.
“Whether you’re a new fan or have been with us since the beginning, thank you for being a part of this incredible journey with us,” 5SOS posted to their Instagram.
Within the last decade, 5SOS have topped charts with their singles and albums. The band was proudly repped by Capitol Records until they switched to Interscope to create “Calm.” A global fanbase has been supporting them throughout.
let’s talk about how much 5SOS love and appreciate their fans, honestly they do so much for us. they do livestreams, interact with us on here, and treat us as if we were their closest friends. that relationship is so special. let’s take a moment to appreciate it.

hello @5SOS, please consider adding new tour dates in your upcoming tour in countries you havent visited yet or havent visited in a while. there are so many fans that really want to experience one of your shows but dont have the means or budget in order to travel and achieve that
