5SOS’ Sounds Live Feels Live Tour Setlist

5SOS kicked off their worldwide Sounds Live Feels Live tour in Nagoya, Japan. We are beyond excited to finally have the setlist for the Asian leg of the tour, as we have all been waiting for it for so long. Here it is:

• “Carry On” (intro)
• “Hey Everybody”
• “Money”
• “Disconnected”
• “Don’t Stop”
• “Waste the Night”
• “Outer Space”
• “Wrapped Around Your Finger”
• “Castaway”
• “Jet Black Heart”
• “Broken Home”
• “Vapor”
• “Amnesia”
• “Good Girls”
• “Voodoo Doll”
• “Permanent Vacation”
• “What I Like About You”
• “She’s Kinda Hot”
• “She Looks So Perfect”

Now we have seen a lot of opinions about this setlist. Here’s what we think: this setlist is great, and we know 5SOS surely like it. If you go to a show on this tour, you’ll get to see 19 songs, which is the perfect length. There’s some old songs, some new songs, and some in the middle, which is a thing we like about this playlist: it can please everyone. It doesn’t matter if you like more of the new songs or the old songs, you’ll get to see both.

A lot of fans don’t like that “Don’t Stop” and “She Looks So Perfect” are on the setlist. Now think about those fans, whose favorite song is “Don’t Stop”. They’re happy “Don’t Stop” is still there. And let’s admit it, “Don’t Stop” is a fun song to play live for 5SOS, and to jump around and dance for the fans. If 5SOS kept “Don’t Stop” on the playlist, they must have a reason to it. “She Looks So Perfect” is THE song they will probably never get off the setlist. This is the song they promoted the most at the beginning of their rise to success and fame. This is a song everyone knows, even the non 5SOS fans. 5SOS are probably keeping this song for those people, so they can sing along to this one. And in any way, who doesn’t like to see the famous “She Looks So Perfect” jump?

Now here is our opinion on the songs 5SOS chose to put on the setlist and the order of it. To kick off the show with a new song like “Carry On” is one of their best moves. It gets you so excited and it fills you up with positive and inspirational energy. The next song, “Hey Everybody”, gets you so pumped to jump around and dance already. “Money” goes next, and now is the time to go crazy! So basically, the beginning of the show is a real success that goes on and on until the end, with “She’s Kinda Hot” and “She Looks So Perfect” for the encore. Two songs to lose all your energy, dance around and sing as loud as you can. This is a show you will remember. We love that 5SOS chose to keep a few older songs, like “Good Girls” and Voodoo Doll. We still wish there was more, but we have to deal with the fact that 5SOS will play less and less old songs. There’s a good point to this: more new songs!

5SOS played so many new songs, yet we wish there was more. We have to say they chose some of the best new songs to play live, such as “Waste the Night”, “Vapor”, “Carry On/Outer Space”, “Castaway” and “Broken Home”. We have seen videos for each of those songs, and we are in love. We are pretty happy they decided to play these songs live. However, a lot of fans are still asking for more new songs, like “Catch Fire”, “Airplanes” and “Invisible”. We can’t do anything else but to agree with them. We have one thing to say to the 5SOS fam:

Don’t lose hope on seeing more new songs on the Sounds Live Feels Live tour setlist. First: they always end up adding more new songs on the other legs of the tour. We put our hopes on the Europe leg of the tour and even more on the North American leg of the tour. We know how this works. Second: 5SOS are the type of band to always stalk the fans to know their opinions. They will know what you want, and they might do something for that. So keep sharing your opinions about this setlist, and who knows, you might see a new song live.

Now WE would like to know YOUR opinion on this setlist. Tweet us @CelebMix, we’d love to hear from you!

5 Seconds of Summer Continue Embracing ‘the Feeling of Falling Upward’ With Summer 2023 Tour

By Larisha Paul

Larisha Paul

The 5 Seconds of Summer Show , the tenth anniversary celebration that the pop-rock band hosted at the close of 2021, was part career-spanning concert film and part Saturday Night Live skit poking fun at their decade-long evolution. It featured a recreation of the video for one of their earliest releases — 2012’s “Gotta Get Out” — alongside their biggest hits, like “Youngblood” and “She Looks So Perfect,” and a funeral for their faded black skinny jeans. But the one thing that has never changed about 5SOS is their commitment to delivering an unrelenting live show. And this summer, they’re bringing The 5 Seconds of Summer Show on the road.

General sale for the 20-date tour begins Friday, April 14 at 10 a.m. local time via the official 5SOS website .

Alongside the tour announcement , the band has unveiled plans to release The Feeling of Falling Upwards – Live from The Royal Albert Hall on April 14. The live album was recorded alongside a 12-piece string orchestra and a 12-member gospel choir during a special one-night-only concert last year. The performance followed the release of the band’s fifth studio album in twice as many years, 5SOS5 . The band loaded up the setlist for the night with musical indicators of where they are, where they’ve been, and where they’re heading.

The 5 seconds of Summer Show , the  tenth anniversary celebration  that the pop-rock band hosted at the close of 2021, was part career-spanning concert film and part  Saturday Night Live  skit poking fun at their decade-long evolution. It featured a recreation of the video for one of their earliest releases — 2012’s “Gotta Get Out” — alongside their biggest hits, like “Youngblood” and “She Looks So Perfect,” and a funeral for their faded black skinny jeans. But the one thing that has never changed about 5SOS is their commitment to delivering an unrelenting live show. And this summer, they’re bringing  The  5 Seconds of Summer  Show  on the road.

The  band’s forthcoming tour  will make stops across North America beginning on Aug. 10 in Uncasville, Connecticut, and extend through Sept. 14 with a final show in Inglewood, California. Throughout the summer, 5SOS will make stops in Boston, Cincinnati, Nashville, Houston, Phoenix, Chicago, Cleveland, and more, including their first headlining show at Madison Square Garden since the  Sounds Live, Feels Live  tour in 2016.

General sale  for the 20-date tour begins Friday, April 14 at 10 a.m. local time via the  official 5SOS website .

Alongside the  tour announcement , the band has unveiled plans to release  The Feeling of Falling Upwards – Live from The Royal Albert Hall  on April 14. The live album was recorded alongside a 12-piece string orchestra and a 12-member gospel choir during a special one-night-only concert last year. The performance followed the release of the band’s fifth studio album in twice as many years,  5SOS5 . The band loaded up the setlist for the night with musical indicators of where they are, where they’ve been, and where they’re heading.

Packing five album eras into a single concert meant they had to include the obvious setlist staples – like “Jet Black Heart” from  Sounds Good, Feels Good , “Amnesia” from  5 Seconds of Summer , “Ghost of You” from  Youngblood , and “Teeth” from CALM ,  and “ Take My Hand ” from  5SOS5 . But the set also featured surprising deep cuts, including “Outer Space,” “Red Desert,” “Carousel,” and more.

“’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,” vocalist and drummer Ashton Irwin shared on stage at Royal Albert Hall, “And sharing this experience together year after year, season after season of our lives.”

The Rolling Stones Really Might Never Stop

During a 19-song set at MetLife Stadium that spanned 60 years, the band tapped into what seems like a bottomless well of rock ’n’ roll energy.

By Lindsay Zoladz

Reporting from East Rutherford, N.J.

“This song’s for Manhattan!” Mick Jagger told the crowd on Thursday night at MetLife Stadium, before launching into a punchy rendition of “Shattered,” that agitated ode to late-70s New York City that closes out the band’s 1978 album “Some Girls.” In the ensuing 46 years, the city has changed in some superficial ways but somehow remained essentially the same — much, as they showed throughout an impressively energetic two-hour set, like the Rolling Stones.

The Stones’ first New York-area stadium gig in five years was sponsored, without a hint of irony, by AARP. It was appropriate: At times what transpired onstage felt not just like a rock concert but a display of the evolutionary marvel that is aging in the 21st century. (Albeit aging while wealthy, with every possible technological and medical advantage at one’s disposal. I’ll have whatever vitamins the Stones are taking, please.)

Ronnie Wood, the core group’s baby at age 76, still shreds on the guitar with a grinning, impish verve. Eighty-year-old and eternally cool Keith Richards pairs his bluesy licks with a humble demeanor that seems to say “I can’t believe I’m still here, either.” And then there is Jagger, who turns 81 a few days after the Hackney Diamonds Tour wraps in July. Six decades into his performing career, he is somehow still the indefatigable dynamo he always was, slithering vertically like a charmed snake, chopping the air as if he’s in a kung fu battle against a swarm of unseen mosquitoes, and, when he needs both hands to dance, which is often, nestling the microphone provocatively above the fly of his pants. Sprinting the length of the stage during a rousing “Honky Tonk Women” — the 13th song in the set! — he conjured no other rock star so much as Benjamin Button, as he seemed to become even more energetic as the night went on.

Last year’s “ Hackney Diamonds ” — the Stones’ first album of new material in nearly two decades — was the nominal reason for the tour, but they didn’t linger on it, and the crowd didn’t seem to mind. Across 19 songs, they played only three tunes from the latest release, including two of the best: The taut, growly lead single “Angry” and, for the first part of the encore, the gospel-influenced reverie “Sweet Sounds of Heaven.” Mostly it was a kind of truncated greatest hits collection, capturing the band’s long transformation from reverent students of the blues (Richards’ star turn on the tender “You Got the Silver”) to countercultural soothsayers (a singalong-friendly “Sympathy for the Devil”) to corporate rock behemoth (they opened, of course, with “Start Me Up”).

Jagger, Richards and Wood all still emanate a palpable joy for what they are doing onstage. But those joys also feel noticeably personal and siloed, rarely blending to provide much intra-band chemistry. That is likely a preservation strategy — the surest way to keep a well-oiled machine running and to continue sharing the stage with the same people for half a century or more. But when Jagger ended a charming story about a local diner that had named a sandwich after him (“I’ve never had a [expletive] sandwich named after me! I’m very, very proud”), I did not quite buy his assertion that he, Keith and Ronnie were going to go enjoy one together after the show.

Some of that fractured feeling is likely due to the absence of the great Charlie Watts , the band’s longtime drummer who died in 2021; the Hackney Diamonds Tour is the Stones’ first North American stadium tour without him. His replacement, Steve Jordan, does about as good a job as anyone could — like Watts, he balances a rock drummer’s power with a jazzy agility — and his presence never overwhelms. Though they are surrounded by plenty of talented backing musicians, the staging makes it clear that the Rolling Stones are now a trio.

The night’s breakout star, though, was Chanel Haynes, a backing vocalist who took center stage to sing with Jagger during two of the night’s best performances. Haynes — who played Tina Turner in the West End production of the jukebox musical “Tina” before joining the Stones’ touring band in 2023 — ably filled the shoes of the mighty Merry Clayton on a blazing “Gimme Shelter,” and sat in for Lady Gaga on “Sweet Sounds of Heaven,” matching the megawatt intensity of her “Hackney Diamonds” cameo. Though Haynes could be velvety soft when the song called for it, at her most impressive she sang with a low, grumbling hunger that often swelled into ferocity, as if she were taking big, meaty bites out of the songs.

Jagger, for his part, delivered many of his lines in his signature bark: The second song, a somewhat slowed down and blues-ified “Get Off of My Cloud,” was transformed by his almost scat-like delivery. But in fleeting moments — including a few falsetto runs — he showed that a certain tenderness in his tone remains intact.

That was most apparent on a gorgeous rendition of “Wild Horses,” the song that gained inclusion in the set by winning the nightly online “fan vote.” For so much of this show, the Stones effectively proved they could outrun age, irrelevancy and all the other indignities that time brings to mere mortals. But here they settled into something more contemplative, elegiac and vulnerable, and the show was better for it.

At a time when their few remaining peers are wrapping farewell tours and bands that have been together for half as long are running on fumes, the Stones are an anomaly. It’s not that their show is devoid of nostalgia, but it’s not coasting on it either. They don’t look like they did in the ’70s — who does? — but when their sound is gelling they are able to tap into some kind of eternal present. For better or worse, they seem intent to be the last band of their generation standing, to ride rock ’n’ roll all the way to its logical endpoint. Astoundingly, they don’t sound like they’ve reached it yet.

When Billy Joel ’s camp decided to commemorate his 100th show of a mega-residency at Madison Square Garden with a television special, the question arose of whether to go with a major streamer or a major broadcast network. But there was little doubt in the end that they would go with the most populist possible pick, as the producers of “Billy Joel: The 100th Live at Madison Square Garden” explained in a panel discussion for the Variety FYC Streaming Room.

By “two bites of the apple,” Cohen is referring to the fact that CBS ended up broadcasting the Joel special twice. With the first airing, a mistake was made in the eastern time zone that cut the singer-songwriter off, mid-song, during “Piano Man,” to let local stations put on their late-night news, after sports programming earlier in the day had caused the network special to run overtime. There was a resulting uproar that made national headlines, and CBS quickly reacted by scheduling a second airing of the show five nights later, resulting in an impressive total of 10 million broadcast viewers, apart from the tally the special picked up on Paramount+.

Having the network accidentally pull the plug early on Joel, and then schedule an immediate rerun due to fan outrage, couldn’t have been a better publicity stunt if it had been planned as one… which, of course, everyone involved swears it wasn’t. “At the end of the whole thing, I kept saying, you know, if Colonel Parker was alive, this would’ve been something he would’ve pulled with Elvis,” Cohen laughed.

“It was a super win-win for us,” he continued. “And I’ve got to give props to CBS because they did not skip a beat. I got a call the next morning, and they not only scheduled a rebroadcast five days later, but they said that they would promote it as a premier event again. They put the same amount of spots on the air, and literally put their shoulder behind it. That also, I think, is the benefit of doing network television, because they’re a behemoth and they know how to do all of that stuff. It worked out great for them, too, because they had another big night of variety television.”

This special was a culmination — for now — of a great deal of years put in by most of the team members represented on the panel. Ruggles has been with Joel for 52 years, and it’s been almost 50 for Cohen, who claims, “we were in diapers, I think. WIth Brian and I, our nicknames in the early days were Dr. Sound and Dr. Lights, because Billy sort of trusted us to be the front-of-house eyes and ears for him. It was the logical progression really, after 50 years and thousands of shows in both stadiums and arenas, to be the guys who could interpret this and deliver it to a director (Dugdale) to film.”

Said Byrnes, the guitarist, “I’ve been playing guitar with Billy since the first week of April in 1990, so I’ve been with him 34 years, 45 days and 28 minutes” he laughs — “or close to that. Obviously it’s the greatest gig I’ve ever had.” But not everyone on this panel goes back quite as far. Said Fuffano, “I’ve been with the Billy family for 25 years, so I’m the kid in the group.”

Obviously there is something there that has to do with “A Matter of Trust,” to quote a Joel song title. Said Byrnes, “You have to try to lose this gig. You have to prove to Billy that you’re not loyal, that you’ve lost the faith, that you really don’t wanna be here. I know because I tried my best, every way I could think of, to get thrown outta his band,” he joked. “It just doesn’t work… It’s a testament that he’ll stick with as long as you stick with him.”

There was little time for true pre-production on the special, but since the principals had already been lighting and recording the MSG shows every night as Joel did them, that served as the real pre-production.

“There was a spider cam that was obviously flying through the air and showing the whole room,” said Dugdale. “And part of the aim for the space as a whole was to kind of match the lighting in the room, and the way that the architecture and the way that the bowl looks, to the stage lighting, so that the whole space becomes the kind of performance area, in a way.”

Noted Foffano, “It was just a natural progression to make the audience an expansion of the stage canvas. It was actually rather easy to do, because we’re the fourth franchise of Madison Square Garden. We had 200 lights that were part of the sports franchises of the Garden that they allowed us to use, so there was plenty of audience light to have that ability to expand things.”

As for Joel himself, “for the majority of the show, he sits at the piano. And the piano does move,” Dugdale pointed out. “But we were really keen to try and bring movement to Billy. So in all of the vocal shots, mid shots, we were able to have those just gently moving, constantly developing, so that the frames’ composition starts in one way with one background and ends with another. Everything is constantly moving and just changing to really engage the audience. You’re constantly going on an adventure.”

Said Cohen, “The piano’s on a turntable, and Billy controls that. And one of the things that’s funny about him is, you can’t script it. The minute you try and ask him to not move it, he’ll move the piano. The time you ask him to move it, he won’t move it. So basically what we had to do is create these multiple backgrounds that Paul was talking about that would always look good whenever the piano would move. So we had to be sort of planning things, but they had to be organic enough that they could be flexible when that move would happen.”

The set list was interesting, and that is mostly Cohen’s domain, surprisingly. “As far as the set list goes, that’s been a Steve thing forever,” said Byrnes, who noted that Joel is happy to have someone else handle it. “Stevewrites the set list and then Brian and myself argue with him about it, because sometimes I feel like he’s just out to get me. Because he’ll write a set list where the first 13 songs have 13 guitar changes in them. And I’m like, you’re killing me. Can we do two in a row (with the same guitar)?”

Sometimes deeper tracks make the list, like they did with “Vienna” for this particular performance, and it was important to the team to include a non-single like that, even as a two-and-a-half-hour show had to get trimmed down to about 90 minutes for broadcast.

“ We got a performance of ‘Still Rock and Roll’ that trumped the performance of ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire,’ so we cut ‘We Didn’t Start the Fire’ in lieu of a better performance that Billy delivered that night. We needed to have a little bit of wiggle room on shifting those songs… if it was ‘Vienna’ or ‘Just the Way You Are.’… I kept looking at, if you’ve never been there, what would the experience be like? It’d be hits, deep tracks, Billy’s personality, Billy’s funny little businesses, a guest star and the audience. And how do we get all of that into something that encompasses everything we’ve always done?”

They believe they brought the real experience to home viewers. “It’s like Billy’s playing in a piano bar that has 20,000 people in it,” said Ruggles. That includes knowing, after so many shows, that if Joel sings “Only the Good Die Young,” the whole audience is going to shout out the part about “the nice white dress” and the party at a confirmation, and plan to optimally capture that on camera and an audio. “We have 20,000 background singers on any given night,” said Byrnes.

The person at the switch at the network might have had their own ideas about trimming the setlist, when it came to throwing back to local affiliates. That person may deserve a raise.

Ehrmann said, “I was watching with my wife, and I’ve seen this show probably 120 times in post-production, and … I gave her a special thanks (in the credits). So I’m watching the show with her, and all I wanted her to do was see her name on the screen. And then all of a sudden, boom, we went into the news and it went from a giant WTF to, you know, gold. I mean, it was an outrage on the internet.” He likened it to the very pre-internet stir when a network cut off a Jets game to go to an airing of “Heidi.” “I remember as an 8-year-old, watching the Jets get cut off, and I was like, oh, history’s repeating itself. And it just turned into gold for us, and for Billy, and for the fans. CBS did the right thing, and they made a public apology, and then they rebroadcast on Friday night, and we got in front of 10 million people. I mean, how could you ask for anything more?”
