5 Seconds of Summer In Sydney: Aussies Sold Out ‘Hometown’ Show Deemed ‘Absolutely & Undoubtedly Amazing’ [PHOTOS, VIDEO]
Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer returned down under days after they wrapped the European leg of their Rock Out With Your Socks Out Tour.
The band played in Auckland, New Zealand on Thursday and smashed a hometown gig in Sydney, Australia on Saturday (it's officially Sunday in Sydney right now).
The Aussies were pumped to return to their roots on this tour so they shared the limited edition poster for it on their Twitter on Thursday.

"It's one of the best days ever," Irwin declared of their show in their hometown while the pair joked it was their "last show as a band."
