The 1975 add new show to Australian tour

The 1975 have added a second and final Sydney show to their upcoming Australian tour due to overwhelming demand.

Matt Healy and co. will now perform at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on Sunday, April 16th, following their show at Aware Super Theatre in the same city on Friday, April 14th (see full dates below).

Tickets for the new Sydney show go on sale to the general public on Friday, January 20th at 9am local time via Secret Sounds. The pre-sale begins on Thursday, January 19th at 9am local time.

With The 1975’s tour making a lot of headlines over the past several months, from Healy’s onstage antics to surprise Taylor Swift cameos, tickets for the new show are likely to sell out fast.

The upcoming tour will see the band perform to Australian and New Zealand audiences for the first time in almost three years.

They’re celebrating their fifth studio album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, which was released last year. The album featured the previously released singles ‘I’m in Love with You’, ‘Happiness’, and ‘Part of the Band’.

Being Funny In A Foreign Language debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart, marking their first number one album released independently in Australia.
