The 1975 announce UK arena tour, share short film for "Somebody Else"

It's a surreal semi-sequel to the band's "A Change Of Heart" video, and was written by frontman Matty Healy. It's a bizarre version of late-night London, and sees Healy "struggling with self-obsession in the face of heartbreak."

Their upcoming UK arena tour begins 13 December in Manchester and ends nine days later in Cardiff. Tickets for the shows will be on sale from 9am on 15 July - make sure you're up early as the London show sold out in mere hours earlier this year.
