In support of the release, the internationally-acclaimed band kicked off their Sometime Last Night 2015-2016 summer headlining tour on July 7, followed by a string of high profile television performances starting with their late night TV debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, followed by Good Morning America and Live with Kelly & Michael. R5 premiered their video for “All Night” on July 8 and is already nearing the 1 million views mark in just over a week. The clip was shot in the bathroom of the Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles and features the band and a few of their friends playing out various scenarios in front of a bathroom mirror during the course of a night out in L.A.

ABOUT R5: Led by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Ross Lynch, R5 came together in 2009 and is comprised of Lynch's siblings Riker (bass/vocals), Rocky (lead guitar/vocals) and Rydel (keyboard/vocals) and friend Ellington "Ratliff" (drums/vocals). R5 has rapidly emerged as an exciting new voice in the world of pop-rock. The band has moved one step closer to world domination with the release of their sophomore album, Sometime Last Night, the follow up to their hit debut album LOUDER, which rocketed to No. 1 on iTunes in 10 countries upon its September 24, 2013 release. Sometime Last Night and LOUDER combined have over 38M streams on Spotify. The band has recently appeared on Good Morning America, Ellen, LIVE! with Kelly & Michael and Jimmy Kimmel Live! The band self-released their first EP, Ready Set Rock in 2010 and signed with Hollywood Records in April of 2012 and released their second EP, Loud, on February 19, 2013. The quintet starred in a 5-part VEVO series titled “R5 on R5,” which saw cameras follow them on a 2013 sold-out tour that included shows in the U.S., Canada, Australia, England and France. The band made a triumphant return to Europe in early 2014 and recently released a 6-part VEVO series, R5 Live in London, capturing the mania of R5 fans during a magnetic show in London this past March. The band recently brought R5: All Day, All Night to the big screen for one night only. The documentary takes a never-before-seen look at the band’s career from inception to the present and includes exclusive interviews, concert footage and footage from the band’s early years.
