Australian multi-platinum-selling pop-rock band, 5 Seconds of Summer, will release their live album The Feeling of Falling Upwards – Live from The Royal Albert Hall digitally on April 14. Physical formats of the album are up for pre-order NOW and will be available on July 14.
The tracks are taken from the band's 2022 one-of-a-kind performance "The Feeling of Falling Upwards" at the world-famous Royal Albert Hall in London, a venue the band busked outside of when they moved to the UK to write for their very first album 10 years ago. The performance included reimagined versions of songs from their 11-year catalog including brand-new songs from their ARIA #1 critically acclaimed fifth studio album 5SOS5, accompanied by a 12-piece string orchestra and a 12-member gospel choir.
"'The Feeling of Falling Upwards' is simply supposed to describe to you the feeling that we have experienced together, the feeling of taking a leap of faith on such a fickle thing like music," expressed vocalist and drummer Ashton Irwin on stage at Royal Albert Hall, "And sharing this experience together year after year, season after season of our lives."
The band is also excited to announce their 2023 World Tour ´The 5 Seconds of Summer Show' which includes dates in South America, UK, Europe and North America with an appearance at the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas.
