The 1975 Australian Tour 2015 has been announced as the UK outfit lock in a new visit just weeks after performing at this year’s Splendour In The Grass.
Having rocked Australia’s biggest winter music calendar date and four sold out headline sideshows, where venues were upgraded and second shows were added to met demand for the Brit-rockers’ growing popularity on Aussie turf.
Now, The 1975 are returning Down Under early next year for three more massive East Coast shows, presented by Secret Service, taking to the stage at at Melbourne’s Festival Hall, Sydney’s Hordern Pavilion and their first headlining show in QLD’s capital at Brisbane’s Tivoli Theatre.
Having played over 400 global shows in the last 18 months and put in countless miles on the road, The 1975 have seen crowds grow significantly throughout 2014. Fuelled by word of mouth buzz, their live shows continue to thrill whilst consistently confounding expectations.
The band, a recent US VEVO Lift Artist and MTV Artist to Watch, won the mtvU Breaking Woodie for Best Emerging Artist at this year’s SXSW and have performed on Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Late Night with Seth Meyers.
The 1975’s self-titled debut album (out now via Sony Music Australia) is a collection of memories, overheard conversations, and snapshots in time. The 1975 is a love letter to youth, played out in bold and brash technicolor. Having topped the UK album charts and sold out every headline show to date, The 1975 have cemented their status as Britain’s biggest new band.
