Imagine being at a Harry Styles concert and hearing fans suddenly belting out the lyrics to a 5 Seconds of Summer song during an instrumental break. This unexpected trend has been gaining momentum during Styles’ ongoing residency at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
The phenomenon began with a TikTok remix created by user @millsberry75, which combined 5 Seconds of Summer’s “Telephone Busy” with Styles’ “Ready, Steady, Go.” The band later incorporated this mix into a DJ set at Salt Shed Chicago during Lollapalooza, further fueling the trend.
Videos on social media capture fans enthusiastically joining in on chanting the 5 Seconds of Summer lyrics during Styles’ performances, with the volume escalating as the trend spreads. The history between One Direction and 5 Seconds of Summer, including touring together in the past, adds to the excitement of this spontaneous fan-driven movement.
5 Seconds of Summer has acknowledged the buzz around the combined songs, with drummer Ashton Irwin appreciating the fan enthusiasm. While Harry Styles has not directly addressed the trend yet, the increasing noise level suggests he may soon take notice.
With numerous upcoming shows on the tour, including a series at Madison Square Garden and performances at Rogers Stadium, the possibility of the chant growing even louder is high. Fans are eagerly anticipating the continuation of this unique trend at future concerts.
