5 Seconds of Summer - Everyone's a Star! (2026)

Original Post: October 26th, 2026

5SOS are back with another album and a world tour. The Australian boy band will be returning to North America with a packed itinerary that has them hitting not only Toronto, but also Hamilton's freshly renovated TD Coliseum, with dozens of shows separating the two. Their new album, Everyone's a Star!, drops November 14th, so fans will have 2-3 full seasons to live with the songs and decide on whether they'll be joining the boys on this run.

The factors

Here's everything pushing this presale up or down the FaceValue scale.

Fanbase aging out of FOMO -6

With Live Nation driving ticket prices through the roof in recent years, fans that enjoyed their previous tour will have a direct point of comparison when it comes to pricing. As the fanbase gets older, they become less susceptible to the FOMO tactics of a modern Live Nation presale.

Hamilton date -5

The boys will be playing the newly renovated TD Coliseum early on in the tour. For the most eager fans, this will be the place to see them as anticipation will be at a height.

Late tour fatigue -4

Consequently, their agent opted to route Toronto's stop much later in the run. Splitting the GTA across two dates months apart feels like a strategy that spreads buzz thin. We can expect resale to soften with multiple options afforded to fans.

Lateral touring -3

The Everyone's a Star tour marks 5SOS's third consecutive visit to Bud Stage. It seems the group has reached a plateau where they can't sell the jump up to Scotiabank Arena. Repeat visits to the same venue will mean fewer people will be buying off sheer hype.

Peak summer outdoor appeal +2

Coming fresh off a Civic Holiday weekend at the top of August, the show has a good chance of bringing out casual fans beyond the core fandom. Concertgoers in this category will be more likely to buy closer to the date, causing a volatile resale market heading into showtime.

The buzz just isn't there -6

Anecdotally, I'm hearing secondhand that while fans are excited, they're not pawn-the-wardrobe, open-multiple-lines-of-credit, sell-your-soul levels desperate for tickets this time around. Even on their last run, we saw resale plummet well ahead of the show.

Verdict

My recommendation is Big Wait. With multiple venue options and a fanbase getting wiser to panic buying, I expect tickets to be at a substantial discount by next summer. Look out for $30 Concert Week tickets in the spring and upgrades the week-of.

Post-Show Verdict

Added: August 17th, 2026

Was the call right? How cheap did 5 Seconds of Summer Toronto tickets really get? I talk about all of that here, so you can see how much readers that took my advice saved.

The call I made on October 26th, 2025, back before artist presale had started was Correct. This is how the sale period played out. First, a look at face value prices when tickets first went on sale in October.

This show was a fun one to watch for price movement. 5SOS had the Hamilton show on June 2, 2026, which had its prices completely freefall. The entire upper bowl was disabled at one point to help push more sales towards lower bowl and floor. GA Pit upgrades were sold for just $20 day-of.

The story for Toronto's show went a bit differently.

Tickets for Toronto's 5SOS first saw discounts back during the Summer of Live promotion (starting April 29th), where lawn tickets were sold for $30 (-$16.75). Exactly as I predicted would happen in my initial verdict. But once summer actually kicked off and the Hamilton show happened, tickets started to move a quickly, and the show was starting to look like it would sell out – or at the very least, sell better than Hamilton's did.

It did sell better, but prices still fell across most sections.

Tickets in the 300s went as low as $49 (-$45) and seats in the 400s as low as $60.50 (-$12). The only section that didn't see discounts was GA Floor.
