English pop-rock band The 1975 have announced an additional Australian tour date scheduled to take place on April 16 this year. The band added to its show after a seemingly high demand and multiple sold-out shows. The 1975 had additionally announced New Zealand tour dates earlier this year.
The trek, titled as the At Their Very Best tour, will kick off on April 8 in Perth, and will now run until April 16 in Sydney. The band will also make stops in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Brisbane on its run.
After they conclude their Australian tour, the quartet will head to New Zealand, where they will perform in Wellington and Auckland.

The 1975 is currently on the UK leg of their Being Funny in a Foreign Language tour, which is in support of their fifth album, which was released in October last year. The group first teased the album by sending postcards to their fans in June 2022. They previewed their album with the single Happiness.
Speaking about the single in an interview with Zane Lowe, the band's frontman Matty Healy had stated:
"'Happiness' is like there’s literally loads of us in the room on that track. Locked eyes -- doesn’t really have much structure. It came through like jamming. And we haven’t done that in like years. So we just wanted this record to be really like a captured moment and not be too constructed and even produced that much."
Earlier this month, The 1975 brought out Taylor Swift on-stage while they were performing at London’s O2 Arena. Much to the excitement of the audience present, the pop superstar performed her song Anti-Hero for the first time in front of a live audience. Swift is also set to hit the road this year in March for her Eras tour.
Healy had previously noted that the band had contributed to Swift’s latest album, Midnights. However, those songs did not make the cut.
In an interview with KROQ's Klein/Ally Show for Audacy's DTS Sound Space, Healy said:
"We actually worked a bit on that but then the version of it never came out.”
After their Australian and New Zealand tour, The 1975 will head to Japan, followed by Poland and Norway. They will then conclude their tour at the TRNSMT Festival, which is slated to take place on July 9, in Glasgow, UK.
