JAKARTA – Fans in Jakarta feel a huge wave of excitement right now. 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) finally announced their return to Indonesia. This news ends a very long wait for many local supporters. The band last performed in the country about ten years ago. Consequently, the announcement immediately became the hottest topic on social media. Fans truly miss the high energy of their live performances.
The band will perform at the Indonesia Arena on November 14, 2026. This magnificent venue will hold thousands of screaming fans. The promoter, Chakra Liva Asia, organizes this event as part of the Everyone’s A Star World Tour 2026. This concert marks an emotional reunion between the band and their Indonesian followers. In fact, the promoter highlighted the ten-year gap in their official Instagram post. This simple message quickly captured everyone’s attention and went viral across the internet.
Tickets for the show sold out completely in just two days. Unfortunately, this left many fans feeling quite disappointed. Rosie, an office worker from Kuningan South Jakarta, shared her difficult struggle to secure a seat. She planned to buy a CAT 3 ticket on May 5, 2026. Her friends even volunteered to help her during the busy sales period. However, the ticketing website, sodtix.com, crashed because of the massive traffic. By the time she could access the site again, every single category was gone.
The organizers divided the sales into two different stages. The Artist Presale started on May 5, while the General Sales opened on May 6. Fans chose from various ticket prices based on their preferred view and facilities. The highest category, VIP BOX ‘No.1 Obsession,’ cost Rp. 5.000.000. This special package includes soundcheck access, exclusive merchandise, and a VIP lounge. Meanwhile, other categories like CAT 1 to CAT 4 ranged from Rp. 910.000 to Rp. 2.140.000.
5 Seconds of Summer started their musical journey in Sydney, Australia, in 2011. They began as YouTube celebrities by posting cover songs of famous artists. Later, they gained international fame when One Direction invited them on a world tour. In early 2014, they released their hit single She Looks So Perfect. This song topped the charts in many countries, including Australia and the United Kingdom. Since then, they have released successful albums and performed for millions of fans worldwide.
