[Monday 10th July 2023, London] The 1975 today announce that they will be headlining the 2023 Reading and Leeds Festival to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their self-titled debut album ‘The 1975’. The band will be performing the album in full, in a rare and special performance, filling in for their friend and scheduled headliner Lewis Capaldi, who had to pull out for personal reasons. Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975, recently spoke out in support of Capaldi during the band’s biggest headline show to date at London’s Finsbury Park after the singer cancelled all future touring commitments, leaving his headline slots at Reading Festival on Saturday 26th August and Leeds Festival on Sunday 27th August under question. The 1975 confirmed last night on stage at TRNSMT festival in Glasgow, Capaldi’s hometown, that they would be stepping in for their ‘good friend’ at the festivals this summer. The surprise announcement comes shortly after the band announced details of their biggest North American tour to date, ‘Still … at their very best’ which will see them play arenas across North America and Canada throughout the Fall, including shows at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden and The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The band’s ‘At Their Very Best’ tour has taken in arenas across USA, Canada, UK & Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia over the last nine months with an impressive 500k+ tickets sold to date. Between the impressive staging, high concept performance art and surprise appearances from friends, the tour has been lauded as a band truly in their prime; a claim backed up by the plethora of five-star reviews from critics. Released last October, the band’s fifth studio album ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’ was met with lavish praise, with The FACE labeling it “an album of massive tunes, pristine production and sincere romanticism” and Rolling Stone vowing the album saw the band “reassert themselves at the forefront of 2020s pop-rock”. It outsold the rest of the Top 5 combined to land the band their fifth Official UK Number 1 album in a row. The band were also crowned ‘Best Rock/Alternative Act’ at the 2023 BRIT Awards. You can catch The 1975 at Reading Festival on Saturday 26th August 2023 and Leeds Festival on Sunday 27th August 2023. Details of their full touring schedule below. The 1975 - 2023 Tour Dates:
