1) 5 Seconds Of Summer are hitting the road again — and they’re bringing a decade of chaos with them
It’s good news for 5SOS fans globally with the Aussie band announcing their world tour ‘Everyone’s a Star!’ ahead of the release of their album with the same name on November 14. The first stop of the ‘EAS!’ tour is in Belfast SSE arena on March 26th with the UK, Europe and the US being visited before the band head home for their final show on November 6th in Perth. A new single, ‘Boyband’, was released on October 16.
After all four members taking on personal music endeavours, some fans worried that the band would not regroup for a sixth studio album – however they made sure to ease fans’ concerns with lead singer Luke Hemmings telling Atwood magazine, “I think it’s so cool and unique that we have a band that everyone could write a full album on their own, and it would sound different, but then if you mush them all together it would make the band!”
This will be the boys’ first tour in two years and fans will be eager to see the band enter their new era.

5.Tides Turn: Green sea turtles safe for now
Shell yeah! Green sea turtles are no longer endangered! After decades of being classed as close to extinction the green sea turtle has managed to swim its way to safety with the population of the animal increasing by approximately 28 per cent since the 1970s. Years of of hard work by turtle conservationists and the World Wildlife Fund ensured communities were protecting and restoring critical nesting beaches means that the threat level has lessened, but with hunting, pollution and climate change still against them they need support to continue to thrive.
