5 Seconds of Summer just opened up about their demands while on tour.
5 Seconds of Summer 'Dressed Up' Like Grandparents
On Friday, the Aussies revealed on their Facebook page what they like to have backstage with them as part of their tour rider demands.
A tour rider is a set of requests and/or demands made by the act that is playing at whichever venue and it's up to the venue's promoter to supply the act with their requests and/or demands.

Ashton Irwin, Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings and Michael Clifford handwrote their demands and shared them on Facebook. The band stated, "what we request for our tour riders....."
Each member has some questionable requests, but tour riders from acts of the past have been pretty outrageous so 5SOS' demands are funnier than anything else. Plus, since some of their demands are so questionable it is quite possible these shared riders aren't totally true, but just a good laugh since the band does love to joke around.
Irwin's demands consist of apples, sweat bands, coffee, education, Bubba Sparxx CD, booty shorts, a towel, which he claimed is "for stuff" and fresh underwear.
Hood's list of demands is much shorter than Irwin's. Hood would like assorted nuts; a paddle, new bandmates and a hug, in which he said it "would be nice." He even said thank you at the end of his list via "thx".
Hemmings' demands are a bit more bizarre since his list includes Selena Gomez, a puppy that is fresh and a gorilla that must be happy. He also requested body oil, toothbrushes, his band, socks and talent.
Clifford also has an odd list of requests. One of his requests includes his "Twitter BFF" Taylor Swift. Another request he has is his bandmate Hemmings, which should be a given since they do tour together and therefore play on stage together. He also demands grapes, a dictionary and "more wishes."
