The band are set to release their latest record Being Funny In A Foreign Language on Friday, October 14 and will head out on tour in the UK next year.

The indie-rockers are known for their discography of hits and will be bringing fan-favourites, as well as plenty of new material to Tyneside in January.

The 1975 recently stepped in last minute to replace Rage Against the Machine as headliners at Reading and Leeds Festival.
