5 Seconds Of Summer return to the cover of Rock Sound. 

Their most fearless era yet, the band’s sixth album ‘EVERYONE’S A STAR!’ flips everything you think you know about 5SOS completely on its head. Owning every label ever thrown their way – from ‘boyband’ to ‘sell-outs’ – it’s a record that examines the realities of growing up under the spotlight, finding the courage to ditch all outside expectations and follow your gut.

In a brand-new cover interview, Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin reflect on the journey that brought them here, the confidence powering this next chapter, and their plans for a new live show that celebrates everything 5SOS were, are, and always will be.
