The 1975

The 1975 kicked off their ‘At Their Very Best’ world tour in Connecticut last night (November 3) – see them debut new songs and a dazzling new live show alongside the full setlist and reaction below.

The band will tour the United States and Canada until the end of the year in support of new album ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language’, and debuted three songs from the album live for the first time at the tour opener in Uncasville, Connecticut on Thursday night.

With a stunning new stage design set inside a house across two floors, the band played the majority of the new album before an encore of sorts, featuring some of their biggest hits. They also debuted a striking piano-based version of 2018 track ‘I Like America & America Likes Me’.
