5 Seconds of Summer On Tour 2015: Why Did Band Have To Briefly Leave The Stage During Raleigh Gig? [PHOTOS, VIDEO]
5 Seconds of Summer's Rock Out With Your Socks Out Tour is nearing its end and the show they played in Raleigh, N.C. Thursday night is surely unforgettable for quite a few reasons.
Did Ashton Irwin Abandon His Band's Tour To Become 'A Ball Boy' At The U.S. Open?
Ashton Irwin's tour countdown continued, as he noted on Twitter, that the Raleigh gig is the "3rd last show of the tour!"

He also gushed over the special edition poster for this gig, noting, "love this poster," which features a skull with an impressive mohawk.

How Does 5 Seconds of Summer Feel About Winning The 'Song of Summer' VMA? The weather was rough in Raleigh due to the brewing storm so the band had to take a minor intermission until the weather calmed down so they were safe to play again. Irwin tweeted out that they'd hit the stage again "hopefully in 20 minutes!"
Well be back on stage hopefully in 20 mins! We have a severe weather warning!!!! Be safe! X — Ashton Irwin (@Ashton5SOS) September 11, 2015
"We have a severe weather warning!!!! Be safe!" he added. Michael Clifford also tweeted about the storm and wasn't too thrilled about the super rainy weather.

On Friday the Aussies shared a photo of the sky from last night while they were in Raleigh for their gig.

"The sky opened up over the show last night! It was crazy!" they dished. The band and all the fans in attendance "endured Mother Nature!"
That wasn't the only memorable moment though. A fan attended the show with her dad and he got dressed up in a taco costume.
Bow down, my dad is the Taco Dad and 5SOS knows we exist #ROWYSORaleigh #rowysovip #ROWYSO #tacodad due to weather taco dad did not make it on stage but he still enjoyed meeting all his fans if you have the video of Luke talking about him please tag me in it!!!!
