Live Nation Give Opportunity For Local Band to Open For 5SOS in Perth

A local burgeoning act has the chance to open for 5 Seconds of Summer's show in Perth later this year. 

Through its Next On artist development program, Live Nation have announced a competition giving artists the opportunity to perform at 5SOS' show going ahead at Kings Park on Friday, November 6th. 

To enter, artists are asked to share their take on a 5 Seconds of Summer song via Instagram.

“5 Seconds of Summer began as young Australian artists building their audience from the ground up, so this competition feels especially meaningful,” Michelle Lucia, SVP, Product & Innovation, Live Nation Australia & New Zealand said.

“Next On Presents: Everyone’s A Star! gives a developing artist the chance to step into a major live moment, connect with a passionate audience and experience what it feels like to open a global tour. It’s about creating opportunity, visibility and momentum for artists at a critical stage in their careers.”

How to enter:

• Artists must follow @livenationaustralia, @Mellen and @5SOS
• Apply for the Next On Program at livenation.com.au/nexton
• Post a video on Instagram covering their favourite 5 Seconds of Summer song, tagging the above accounts. (Artists have full creative licence in how they perform or interpret the song. Entries do not need to include the full track; a short snippet is welcome).
