Australian pop-punkers 5 Seconds Of Summer will kick off their monumental Rock Out With Your Socks Out world tour next week and they can't wait for the run to begin. 

They will start off with a concert in Portugal on May 4 and drummer Ashton Irwin took to his official Twitter page this afternoon (May 1) to describe just how excited he is to get back out on the road. He wrote: "It all begins in a few days now... Our 1st arena headline tour... Dreams do come true."

The band also shared an update via their collective social media account and explained that some extra tickets for their upcoming UK gigs are being made available: "UK!! Some extra tix are being released for ROWYSO! download @Twickets or update the app & add yourself to the queue http://5sos.twickets.co.uk."
