After having a pretty epic couple of weeks in the U.S., the Australian group 5 Seconds of Summer debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard albums chart this week and announced their first headlining tour next summer — including a Tampa stop.

But you don't have to wait until 2015 to see the pop-punk foursome here. They will be opening for One Direction (remember them?) at Raymond James Stadium Oct. 3, where tickets are $19.50 to $99.50.

Next summer's headlining tour kicks off in Las Vegas and eventually brings the boys, known as 5SOS to fans, to the MidFlorida Amphitheatre in Tampa on Sept. 12, 2015.

Its self-titled debut album, which contains the singles She Looks So Perfect and Amnesia, smashed into the charts at No. 1 selling 259,000 copies, making it the hottest-selling debut for anyone since 2006, Billboard says.

Tickets for next summer's tour are $19-$69.50 on sale Aug. 9 through livenation.com and Ticketmaster.
