5SOS's Michael on Derp Con: 'We're going to give everyone there lap dances'

On November 15 and 16, fans of 5 Seconds Of Summer have the chance to be in attendance at the boys' Derp Con event in Los Angeles and they have teased a bit more information about what to expect from the convention.

Member Michael Clifford told reporters at the iHeartRadio Music Festival that Derp Con will be an exciting event that might even see a few fans get 'lap dances' from himself and the other lads:

"It’s sort of like our little take on a comic convention sort of thing, but it’s all 5SOS-related, and we are flying a bunch of people across the world to meet in Inglewood, and they are going to go to the Forum show and stuff. And we are going to give them all lap dances.”

When asked what 'derp' means, the band's drummer Ashton Irwin shed a little light on the term: “Derping is a verb. It’s just like a band thing that has carried through the ages.”

The event's official website explains more: "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."
