5 Seconds of Summer drummer Ashton Irwin has revealed his desire to have a TV show in the future.

The Australian dabbled in acting as a child before launching into a music career.

He took to Twitter on Thursday night (August 28) to suggest that he would like to see the band have a television show.

Irwin said: "So many late night shows, I'd love to have a tv show one day, I miss acting as well, it was fun! Glad I get to do it a little in the band!"

Speaking recently about his acting career, the drummer told We Love Pop:

"I was acting for years before the band so I would like to get into that again. I was in a few things, I'm not going to admit what they were, but it was fun and I had a good time."

5 Seconds of Summer meanwhile announced last night plans to host a fans' convention later this year called Derp Con.

They wrote: "Derp Con 2014 is us bringing people from all over the world to Los Angeles in the USA to fight ninjas, internet haters and join in some serious banding. We are launching a worldwide competition where entrants (i.e. you!) have the chance to be a part of this between November 15/16.

"As part of your reward, you will fly over to Los Angeles with a friend (prize incl. flights & accom) to attend Derp Con and come hang out at The Forum for our biggest headline show yet!  There we will draw our battle lines and prepare to fight our foes. None shall stand in our way."
