He is so sweet especially when he's back in aus! With his accent reverting, and he just seems so much more relaxed overall. I wish I could have gone to his show

[@jsongofficial]

I'm glad he's back home in Australia! I had a blast at his show at the Enmore Theatre (13th June, 2024). I've never actually seen 5SOS perform (only Luke solo), as I joined the fandom quite late (only last year). It was nice to see the boy from Western Sydney come back better than ever before. Was at the barricade and saw Luke's mum taking photos and videos. I felt happier for her. She must be really proud.

This Album was so beautiful and gives me 70's/80's and 90's vibes. All songs are songs are so beautiful, Benny is my favourite song from the new album. I was in Colonge to his concert and I can't disrceb how beautiful and special, this concert was . I was with friends and we made there special memories , with iconic Outfits and glitter make up. Luke thanks for your wonderful art .

Went to Luke’s last show in Brisbane, Australia. Had the best time, love him loads 💙🪩🥰

The Enmore Sydney Show on the 14th was so bloody amazing it truly makes sense with the tour title and the atmosphere and memory he wanted for the shows. because i already get nostalgia for it and it was only last week.

Glad to have been there for the first solo tour. This was a whole new experience and even though I love the band to pieces, I can't wait to see whatever Luke (and Ash) comes up with next!
