The 1975 have announced dates for the UK and Europe leg of their new Still… At Their Very Best tour and it’s going to be huge.

The 22-date run, which includes two nights at London’s The O2, is set to be the indie rockers’ biggest shows in Europe and will bring a close to their 2022 album Being Funny In A Foreign Language era.

They’ll open at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on February 9 before heading to London, Manchester and Birmingham.

 What’s more, presale opens in a matter of days, so you’ll want to hop to it.

After taking the UK by storm, the group will move on to Lisbon on February 26 with dates also lined up for Madrid, Paris, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Munich and more.

Before that, though, the rockers will kick off their tour in North America and Canada this autumn.

There’ll be shows at both The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and New York’s prestigious Madison Square Gardens.

The band’s previous At Their Very Best tour was praised for its innovative staging which featured a multi-levelled set designed like a 1990s-style home.

However, it also made headlines after frontman Matty Healy performed bizarre antics including completing a series of push-ups and eating a raw steak live on stage. Yum.

Oh, and did we mention that lawyers for The 1975 are currently working to resolve a dispute with organisers of a Malaysian music festival that’s claiming the band breached its contract.

During his band’s set at the Good Vibes festival in Kuala Lumpur in July, Healy made a speech about homosexuality – which is illegal in Malaysia – before kissing bassist Ross MacDonald on stage.

The three-day event was axed and other headliners including Australian singer-songwriter The Kid Laroi and American rock band The Strokes didn’t play.

Event management company, Future Sound Asia, demanded that the band pay over £2 million in damages due to Healy’s ‘indecent stage behaviour’ which allegedly caused the event to be cancelled.

Tickets for the UK and Europe tour will be available via fan presale on Wednesday September 6 at 10am, with tickets then on general sale on Friday September 8 at 10am.
