British indie-pop sensation The 1975 are hitting Stage AE on Thursday May 11 2017 as part of their massive North American tour. With their transgressive, subtly provocative image and genre-defying, super-catchy pop, in a short space of time, this band has attracted a lot of attention, broken boundaries aplenty and gained a hugely diverse worldwide following of all age ranges, ensnaring fans too outside of the niche this band would normally be put into. The 1975 have got everybody hyped – don't miss your chance to see them live!

The 1975 are known for their no-holds-barred live performances. Singer Matthew Healy's extravagant stage performance is somehow both exposed and fragile whilst he appears completely confident carrying these traits onstage, providing a character that resonates with many of us. Drawing comparisons to artists as diverse as David Bowie to the Red Hot Chili Peppers from critics, the 1975 themselves have stated they're somewhat averse to genre-based definition, and it really couldn't show more than on their most recent record. Their music features a rich blend of synth pop, rock, indie and funk, largely based on “groove,” rather than rock rhythms. The various forms of input from all the band members' tastes and influences combine perfectly to make an addictively strange yet cohesive and absolutely dance-worthy whole. In the past, the 1975 have performed with choirs and full orchestras, leaving plenty room for speculation as to what they may be up to next. Whatever it is, it's going to be an exhilarating live experience, not to be missed – grab your tickets NOW!
