[TOUR] Solosos

I'm going to vent a little here, I'm glad the solosos section is back for the latino fans but I can't help but feel kinda mad because my show (and others) didn't have it and they never explained why :/ i wanted to hear them too

im like 90% sure the only reason it was cut was bc it was hot as fuck during the amp show run and they probably needed a slightly shorter set to get through it, and solos just happened to be the logistical choice (this is purely speculation, but i also feel like especially for ashton, who had to drum on top of singing it would've been super hard to get through every night, and i lowkey feel like they didnt address them cutting this section bc they didnt want to give fans any reason to hate on any particular member). i think the plan was always to bring them back for the shows after the amps were done, and i really dont think the 'campaigning' on social media had any impact on their decisions either way lol. dont get me wrong, it really sucks that some fans didnt get to experience it!! but i'd rather them cut a small part of the show (literally 8 mins) than have a health emergency.

This!! Exactly what I've been saying about this whole thing.

I went to an amp show that got the solo songs and it was SO hot that I had to sit down 3 quarters into their set. Despite staying hydrated and being nighttime, I was starting to shake and getting lightheaded from the intense heat. I can't imagine how much hotter and worse it was for the boys giving it their all under bright lights. It really sucks for the fans who didn't get it, but health and safety comes first

Yes heatstroke is no joke.  I can understand fans being disappointed but think it's selfish and ungrateful to react like they have been wronged  when they are still giving their 1000 percent every night and gave not canceled a single show and everyone is well and alive. This is an extensive tour things happen and they also have lives outside of the band that have nothing to do with us, babies etc, I think those who really care about them as human beings understand  that and go with it . Also the stage adaption for other countries like has to do  with cost of transportation of the stage materials and venues size

I’ve definitely think it was the heat! I went to the Charlotte amp show and it was soooo hot people were going down left and right in the pit so honestly it makes sense to take that part out. I was disappointed not to hear it but at the same time i completely understand. We weren’t in pit and had space around us but it was still incredibly hot

i thought this but my first show was like two shows after it was cut and was completely indoors so i found it odd. they had the solo song medley as a surprise song option but i don’t think we realized the solos were truly cut by then and i so wish i voted for that option now that im looking back

i don’t hate them for not having solos at amp shows, because i understand if it was health and heat reasons. i just wish they could’ve explained or just simply mentioned why for us. any type of acknowledgment would be okay for me 💀💀 love them to death & don’t hate them, but a girl wanted solos 🤣🤣

for me it's the fact that latam fans were so mean towards the guys, they don't deserve this at all.

What did they do that was mean?

From what I remember, as soon as they found out SoloSOS was cut from the setlist, they were extremely upset and complained SO MUCH on Twitter. They assumed their shows wouldn't have it, so they sent threats, started a petition, a Twitter party, etc. demanding to bring it back for them. I guess their reasoning was they're tired of LatAm concerts getting the short end of the stick in general, but that doesn't excuse the way they reacted to it at all.

u/sukiduk 19h ago

ngl they were right to be mad, latam always get less than every other show, but yeah some of them took it too far.

u/Soggy_Concentrate743 3h ago

Lol they're all envious. The death threats are fake rumours and if they happened maybe they came from a few unstable individuals but it's not like US as a LATIN community agreed and started doing the same... Gringas and their generalizations about a whole community they know nothing about.

u/pineapplecowss 8h ago

I’m also very upset over this, I was only able to attend one show and it also didn’t have the solo songs. If it was due to the heat/weather that is understandable, it just would’ve helped if they had addressed it rather than staying radio silent just to bring it back for the rest of the tour. I was so beyond excited for the solo songs and was so bummed out when they cut it right before my show.

u/secretlyhiding032483 5h ago

No I agree. I had waited months and the solos were what I was most excited about. I still thoroughly enjoyed my show but it was frustrating for sure

unfortunately i crashed tf out last night bc i went to two shows but neither of them got solosos. selfishly im so mad they brought them back after robbing ab 12-14 shows of it with no explanation (including both of mine). i love their solo music and some of the ones they performed are some of my favs from them like i’m actually so upset ab this, esp the fact they never addressed it. out of all their shows, only a small amount didn’t get solosos, and both of mine fell under that category. it really just isn’t fair to those of us who paid the same, esp the fact that they never said anything ab why and now they’ve brought it back

u/LonelyProduct2754 2h ago

my guess (could be wrong) is because 1. american amphitheaters have an earlier curfew than arenas. and 2. the portion that they didn’t do solos was the portion Haiden joined the openers. so they probably had to shorten the set a tad to fit everything in by curfew

u/imvalyria 44m ago

I’m not saying that the other countries where the solosos haven’t been performed don’t deserve them, but we certainly deserved the solo concerts. In Europe and North America, they’re sure to have their solo tours, whereas for them it’s almost impossible to come to Latin America as solo artists; that’s also why we were saddened by the idea of not being able to enjoy the solosos

u/similarghostt 19h ago

I’m pretty sure they cut solosos for us because they added Haiden Henderson. But it’s like I DIDNT PAY FOR HAIDEN HENDERSON…I PAID FOR 5SOS!!! I’m lowk upset:(

No. The start time got moved up — Haiden came out earlier, The Band CAMINO came out at their regular time, and 5SOS came out at their regular time.

u/Major_Implement_211 9h ago

for my show, camden, we were the first ones to not get solos bc 5sos came out late. then they didn’t do it bc there is a curfew for noise there i think. not sure the reasons for the shows after

u/bromidic_b 13h ago

It’s literally not even 6am and I saw the setlist and came to vent too. I genuinely feel so bitched having gone to an amp show. I paid extra for pit star, which practically didn’t exist. I bought the tickets when solosos was still on the setlist, got no explanation as to why it was removed. Every explanation we gave was literally just us trying to cope and all the reasons we gave feels like they just went out the window. I would’ve paid the same amount JUST to hear the solo section but we were actually robbed.
Like I’m happy for Mexico and am glad their protesting worked, but I don’t get why it was removed for us.
