Reporter
NOVA Entertainment has announced that, for the first time as a solo artist, Calum Hood will take the stage live in Nova’s Red Room at Pleasure Club in Sydney’s Newtown on Wednesday, 11 June 2025.
Calum toured the globe with 5 Seconds Of Summer for over 14 years and is now giving fans an exclusive insight into his new music and storytelling as a solo musician.
Calum will be showcasing tracks from his album, two days before it’s released, and Nova Red Room fans will be among the first in the world to see these songs performed live.
Calum Hood Live In Nova’s Red Room will see the multi-talented singer, songwriter and bassist showcase music from his highly anticipated debut solo album ORDER chaos ORDER to a room of just 170 fans.
Calum will also take part in a live Q&A with host Smallzy between tracks, giving fans an exclusive insight into the stories and inspiration behind his new music.
Calum said “This solo project is incredibly personal to me, so getting the chance to perform these songs live in such an intimate setting and share the stories behind them with Smallzy and the fans feels really special. I can’t wait.”
Nova Network’s Group Programming Director Brendan Taylor said “We’re beyond excited to have Calum Hood in his first solo Nova’s Red Room. This is the kind of rare, intimate experience that makes the Red Room such a special event. To have Calum back in Sydney on home soil… this one is going to be very special.”
Listeners can win their invites for this exclusive Nova’s Red Room event by listening to Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie locally on Nova 96.9 or Smallzy’s Surgery nationally at night or by entering via The Nova Player
Takes me back to when Calum and Mikey from 5SOS perfectly executed a great prank on Ray Hadley where he thought they were a country duo, before the two boys performed a brilliant acoustic country version of “She Looks So Perfect” under the fake duo name “The Summer Brothers” (or, as Ray called them, “Two-And-A-Half Seconds Of Summer”). Ray’s realisation that it was a stitch-up by Fitzy and Wippa will forever be etched into the back of my mind.
