The 1975 and the way to stardom
1975 was founded in 2002 in Manchester, England. The band was founded after lead singer Matty Healy, guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George Daniel met at Wilmslow High School when they were teenagers.
The 1975 started performing at community gigs under the names Talkhouse, The Slowdown, Bigsleep, and Drive Like I Do to test the styles that include pop-rock and electronic.
Making their breakthrough sequence of EPs in 2012-2013, including Facedown and Music for Cars, they gradually gained popularity with their lyricism and polished artwork.
In February 2016, the group released genre-hopping songs such as I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It. Following the release, the band peaked at the top of the charts in the UK and the US.
The 1975 released A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships in 2018. This album was acclaimed as a striking attempt to explain the facts of digital world and the feeling of loneliness. Their 2020 Notes on a Conditional Form album was even experimental than before as it explored punk, orchestral and electronic genres.
As of 2025, The 1975 have intentionally limited their live engagements to a single, headline act on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, making it the only live performance in 2025. This decision supports their studio effort as the band is on the verge of completing their sixth studio album, described by their manager Jamie Oborne as “pretty extraordinary.”
