The hunks of 5 Seconds of Summer–Michael Clifford, Luke Hemmings, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin-are used to swarming fans, sold out shows and life on the road now, but it wasn’t always that way.
They were once just four guys who landed the opening gig for One Direction, nervous out of their minds for what was to come.
“It was really scary for us,” Michael shared with the Sacramento Bee. “When we started that tour in 2013, no one knew who we were.”
“We kind of had to build that by getting better and better and better live. It was kind of all we cared about for a long time was just how we could become a better live band, play better and have the audience interact more and stuff like that.”
“But coming back to like this year now, we see how many shows we played on that One-D tour and how much it helped us to like craft our performance into what we wanted it to be.”
They couldn’t be more right! Boy do these babes know how to put on a killer show.
