The 1975 announces “indefinite hiatus” from shows after current tour ends
During their show at the Golden 1 Center, in Sacramento, California, frontman Matty Healy announced that The 1975 will be going on an indefinite touring hiatus.
During their set which included songs such as "Robbers", "Love Me", "Love It If We Made It", and "Girls", Healy addressed the crowd before performing "Sex", explaining that this would be the last time they'll be performing in California for a while.
“It’s wonderful you’re all here. After this tour, we will be going on an indefinite hiatus with shows, so it’s wonderful to have you guys with us tonight. Thank you so much," he said.
The 1975 are currently on the North American leg for their Still… At Their Very Best tour. When announcing the North American dates, they also revealed that one dollar from each ticket sold will go to One Tree Planted – a non-profit organisation that plants trees all over the world to fight climate change, protect biodiversity, empower communities and restore our planet. Their aim is to reforest the planet, one tree at a time.

In January and April of this year, The 1975 embarked on the At Their Very Best tour, across the UK and Europe. They recently announced that they will be bringing the Still At Their Very Best tour to the UK and Europe next year.
The newly announced dates include four nights at London’s O2 Arena, and are set to be The 1975's largest European shows to date, signalling the end of the album cycle for Being Funny In A Foreign Language.
The 1975 are set to stage the world’s first “carbon removed” live event at The O2 in London. This will be a part of a series of “pilot” events where various methods would be used to extract the carbon generated by the shows and remove it from the atmosphere.
If the project is successful, this could become the standard model for all future tours, venues and promoters globally. Sam Booth, the Director of Sustainability at AEG Europe, stated, “The perfect large-scale carbon-free event does not currently exist, but while the industry continues to innovate and improve to reduce emissions to their lowest possible level, carbon removals will remain an important piece of the puzzle.”
