The Rock Out With Your Socks Out 2015 Tour almost completely sold-out in a matter of hours including three shows at The SSE Arena Wembley London and topped the Ticketmaster UK Ticketing Chart, ahead of Ed Sheeran, Kasabian and Linkin Park. Over in the US, the Rock Out With Your Socks Out Tour will take the band to amphitheaters and arenas in 30 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada. The band’s first-ever North American headlining tour, produced and promoted exclusively by Live Nation, will start on July 17, 2015 and will see them perform to over 576,000 fans.
Having kicked off this year with a headline UK tour that sold out in just five minutes culminating with two sold out shows at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, the boys have spent most of 2014 playing stadiums around the world with One Direction. 2015 will see them play to over 258k fans across 13 countries in the UK & Europe in their biggest run of headline shows to date.
The Rock Sound cover stars are a true social phenomenon; they have amounted over 356 million online video views, have an astonishing combined 20.5 + million Twitter followers and have sold over four million singles to date. The band caused hysteria when they performed on Ellen in the US recently. Coming off the back of three huge worldwide hit singles and a self-titled debut album that has sold over two million copies worldwide in just five months, 5SOS have safely earned their place as the biggest success story of 2014, and it’s only just the beginning.
