“ The 1975 are currently in the studio in England where they are writing, recording and mixing their forthcoming fifth studio album,” it stated. Something put in stone with the press release that accompanied those Summer Sonic dates. At the time, it was pretty much confirmed they were working on a fifth album – the follow up to 2020’s ‘Notes on a Conditional Form’. At the start of the year, a flurry of posts arrived from band members and management, showing the band working away in the studio. This we know – or at least, they have been.

They’re apparently their “live comeback” – though it’s not fully clear if they’ll be the first shows they’ll play of a new era, or simply the first to be announced. They’re going to play Summer Sonic in Tokyo and Osaka on the 20th and 21st August. The 1975 have announced two shows this week, despite being largely AWOL. Honestly, we’re only writing this article to tempt fate. This latest one has been going on days, and there’s no signal it’s about to end any time soon. Usually, however, they’re reasonably brief. This is a trick the band do regularly between albums – most famously in the gap between their debut and follow-up ‘i like it when you sleep…’. At the time of press, those profiles are yet to return. Then, later in the day, their social media platforms all either wiped, or deleted. On Monday morning, the band’s website – – went blank.
