It’s pretty safe to assume that if you’re a part of the 5SOSFam, then on November 15 and 16, you have some big plans.
That’s because the biggest convention of the year is going down: Derp Con 2014.
5 Seconds of Summer are going to be taking over the Forum in Inglewood, California, where they performed “Amnesia” at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, and are bringing in fans from around the world to get up-close and personal with the boys… maybe a little too close.
“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,” Michael said at the iHeart Radio Music Festival. “And we are going to give them all lap dances.”
I’m pretty sure everyone will now be entering for a chance to attend the convention, where they will “fight ninjas, Internet haters and join in some serious banding,” according to their website.
Their concerts at the Forum will mark the band’s biggest headlining shows yet and 5SOSFam can enter to win the chance to attend, represent their country and show the “rest of the world how awesome they are.”
Oh, and in case you were wondering what exactly the term “derp” means, which Calum’s mom had an adorable explanation for, but unfortunately they couldn’t remember, it’s something that has been with the band for quite some time.
“Derping is a verb,” Ashton said. “It’s just like a band thing that has carried through the ages.”
Luke added with a laugh, “Through the ages, through the 3-year ages.”
