The 1975 have announced a tiny gig at Manchester’s Gorilla for February 2023.

“Do not buy tickets from anywhere for any show unless advertised directly by us.”

In October the band returned with their fifth album ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’, described by NME in a four-star review as Matty Healy and co “back to their very best”.
