Australian pop-punkers 5SOS are gearing up for several live dates later this month in Arizona and California, and revealed that they "can't wait" because they have some great plans for their shows. 

Drummer Ashton Irwin took to his official Twitter page earlier today (November 6) and told his followers that he has been brainstorming with the other members about their upcoming live performances: "Hangin' with the dudes, talkin' all things to do with the live shows, can't wait to see what happens!"

The band, meanwhile, performed live on 'The Ellen Show' yesterday and their set is due to air this afternoon in America. Irwin posted a series of pictures to his social media page and accompanied them with a caption that expressed their excitement at being invited to perform on the programme:

"Ellen is awesome... Thanks so so much for letting us rock out @TheEllenShow ... happy days! Love you guys x"

Michael Clifford also recently told his followers that he "wanted a picture with Ellen so badly" and he achieved his mission as he uploaded a selfie of him posing with DeGeneres to Twitter, which can be seen above left.
