Aussie pop-punk band 5 Seconds Of Summer are gearing up to head out on their Rock Out With Your Socks Out tour and drummer Ashton Irwin has revealed that he's so proud of and grateful for the crew his group have with them.

The heartthrob took to his official Twitter page earlier this evening (April 28) and thanked his band's crew and team for being so supportive and hard-working: "Appreciative for our crew... Thank you for putting up with us for a few years now, you work so hard and we love you! Best tour family ever!"

The jaunt is due to kick off next month on May 4 with a performance at the MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal and the final date is scheduled for September 13 at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in Florida. Member Calum Hood, meanwhile, recently told fans that they're working hard on new material for their next album and tweeted: "Listening to new tunes.. So proud of the lads on what they've written."
