THE 1975
Fly DSA Arena // January 25th // £30.80
At last, the long wait is over. It’s been almost a year and a half since The 1975 last toured, and we sure have missed their naïve, synth-infused pop-rock sounds. At once nostalgic and futuristic, they’re ready and waiting to take you into their musical world. With support from Pale Waves and No Rome, this is an unmissable one for any indie-pop fans.

Opportunities like this don’t come round too often; make sure you don’t miss out.
