Capturing the explosive energy of their breakthrough year, this 2014 performance sees Australian pop-rockers 5 Seconds of Summer take the iconic stage at Madison Square Garden for Z100's Jingle Ball. The annual holiday concert, hosted by iHeartRadio, is known for its star-studded lineups, and this year was no exception, with the band sharing the bill with titans like Taylor Swift and Pharrell. For 5SOS, this was a massive platform to showcase their arena-ready sound to a diverse pop audience.
The band rips through a concise and powerful setlist, kicking off with the rebellious anthem "Good Girls." They inject a dose of classic rock with a spirited cover of The Romantics' "What I Like About You" before slowing things down with their heartfelt ballad "Amnesia." They close their set with the song that launched them into global stardom, "She Looks So Perfect," a perfect slice of power-pop that had the entire arena singing along. This performance is a fantastic snapshot of a young band on the cusp of superstardom, confidently owning one of the world's most famous stages.
