Mere days before dropping its highly anticipated third album A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships, English pop band The 1975 has announced it’s returning to Australia for a mammoth 2019 tour.
The tour mark’s the band’s first trip to Australia since January 2016, ahead of its release of its incredibly popular and critically adored second record I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It. This tour will see frontman Matty Healy and the lads stop in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and right here in Brisbane.
I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It was hailed 2016’s NME Album of the Year, skyrocketing The 1975 to stardom. Tracks like ‘Love Me’, ‘The Sound’ and ‘Somebody Else’ (just three of the staggering seven singles taken from the record) showcased the bands knack for razor sharp pop hooks which frame Healy’s impassioned vocals and dramatic lyricisms with inch-perfect precision.
Preceded by quixotic first single ‘Give Yourself A Try’, A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships arrives amid the band’s Music for Cars era: a period of performance and release that will encapsulate A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships as well as 2019’s upcoming fourth record Notes on a Conditional Form – slated to arrive in May 2019.
All going to plan then, The 1975 will hit our shores in 2019 with two albums of new material to show off. The band will command some of the finest venues in the Southern Hemisphere, including Brisbane’s iconic Riverstage.
Presale registration is open now and closes Monday November 26 at 6:00 am (AEST).
