5 Seconds of Summer brings the EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour to Madison Square Garden tonight at 8 p.m. ET — and whether this is your first 5SOS show or your tenth, here’s what to know before you walk through those doors.
Getting There
Sunday’s forecast is warm and breezy — partly sunny, a high near 84°F, and southwest winds running 5 to 18 mph. Dress light for the trip over, because the walk from transit or the parking garage to the arena entrance will feel warm. Once you’re inside MSG, you’re in a fully climate-controlled building — and arenas tend to run cooler than you’d expect, especially in the upper sections. A 5 Seconds of Summer hoodie is the move: keeps you comfortable if your seats run cold, and it doubles as the best fit in the room.
MSG sits directly above Penn Station, making the subway the easiest call on a busy concert night. If you’re driving, build in extra time — weekend Midtown traffic plus concert crowds can stretch parking lot walks considerably.
Rep the Band
This is a 5SOS crowd — come dressed for it. A 5 Seconds of Summer t-shirt is the classic floor-section look, and a 5 Seconds of Summer hat travels well if you’re commuting in. Want something to hang at home after the night is over? A 5 Seconds of Summer poster is the kind of souvenir that actually makes it onto the wall.
Protect Your Ears
MSG is loud, and the floor and lower sections amplify that fast. A pair of concert ear plugs high fidelity are worth tossing in your bag — high-fidelity plugs bring the volume down without dulling the mix, so you actually hear the performance more clearly, not less. You’ll thank yourself on the drive home.
Practical Tips
- Arrive well before 8 p.m. ET — security lines at MSG can be long on sold-out nights. Earlier is always better.
- Check MSG’s bag policy before you leave home — the venue enforces size and type restrictions that can slow you down at the gate.
- Transit beats driving tonight — Penn Station is literally underneath the arena, and parking in Midtown on a warm Sunday evening adds unpredictable time.
Have a great show — 5SOS always brings the energy.
