The Walk of Fame news is the latest in a string of 5SOS comeback announcements.
They confirmed a massive world tour last week, which will take the Sydney-born group through Europe, North America, New Zealand, and Australia next year.
Tickets to the tour go on sale to the general public on Friday, October 31st at 9am local time.
5SOS also recently announced their new album, “Everyone’s a Star!,” due out November 14th.
Their sixth studio album, which features the singles “Telephone Busy” and “NOT OK”, is their first with Republic Records.
5SOS’ last album, “5SOS5,” dropped on September 23rd, 2022 and was yet another hit release. The record hit No. 1 in Australia – their fifth consecutive chart-topper – and reached No. 1 in the UK and No. 2 in the US.
In Rolling Stone AU/NZ‘s countdown of the 100 best Australian albums of the 2020s so far, 5SOS5 made it to No. 22 on the list, while solo albums from three of the four band members sat pretty in the middle at No. 51, No. 50, and No. 49, respectively.
Various 5SOS members haven’t been shy about discussing new music with Rolling Stone AU/NZ in recent interviews.
Bassist Calum Hood gave an update on potential new music from the Sydney quartet. While discussing his debut solo LP, ORDER chaos ORDER, the 29-year-old songwriter hinted at what’s to come next.
“We’re always planning. The 5SOS cog in the music world never stops. In fact, it’s probably the hardest-working cog,” he said. “There’s always conversations going. There’s always people dreaming up things — ‘What if we do this, what if we do that?’ So fear not, because there’s always something going on.”
