Don’t let somebody else get there first – here’s how you can grab a spot to The 1975’s summer show at Finsbury Park as tickets go on sale today.
We don’t know about you, but we’re really excited for this one. The 1975 are taking over east London this summer for an all-day event at Finsbury Park. The indie band will be joined by other showstopping groups including Cigarettes After Sex and Bleachers for an unforgettable day of music, too.
Hailed as their biggest ever UK show, The 1975 announced this Finsbury Park performance amid their 2023 world tour, At Their Very Best. The UK stint of the tour wrapped up last month after 16 performances in 14 cities, and one very special appearance from Taylor Swift.
So far, the tour has included hits from The 1975’s latest number one album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, as well as classics like If You’re Too Shy, It’s Not Living and, of course, Chocolate. The English band will soon be heading off for the next leg in South America, Asia, and Oceania before heading back to the UK this summer.
With five albums under their belt, The 1975 have dabbled in a lot of different genres of music, including pop, punk, garage rock, electro-funk and country. Since forming in 2002, the Manchester group have become known for two things: their unique songs, which have covered everything from mental health to climate change, and their controversial frontman Matty Healy, who in the past has faced heat for eating raw meat on stage and sucking a fan’s thumb.
When they’re not making the headlines for their lead singer, however, The 1975 are getting rave reviews for their sell-out tours and five number one albums – and after a successful tour, they’ll be bringing their sound back to London for this mega show.
Don’t let missing this be your mistake. Here’s how to get tickets today.
