The ‘At Their Very Best’ tour will see Matt Healy and co. perform to Australian and New Zealand audiences for the first time in almost three years.

The tour will celebrate The 1975’s fifth studio album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, which was released earlier this month. The album features 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.

Being Funny in a Foreign Language is the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2020’s Notes on a Conditional Form, which topped both the ARIA Albums Chart and U.K. Albums Chart.
