British pop-rock band The 1975 has solidified its place as one of the UK’s most successful music acts, with newly released financial reports revealing a staggering £5 million profit from their recent UK tour. The band’s earnings have propelled their cash reserves from £3.3 million to £8.3 million, demonstrating their continued commercial strength in the music industry. In addition to their impressive revenue, The 1975 has also contributed significantly in taxes, with a reported payment of £1.3 million. The news comes as The 1975 prepares for a major year ahead, with a new album anticipated to drop in the summer of 2025.
The 1975’s significant financial success can be attributed to their ‘At Their Very Best’ tour, which spanned from 2022 to 2023. This extensive tour supported their fifth studio album ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language‘ (2022) and included performances across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. The tour encompassed seven legs with a total of 93 shows, significantly boosting the band’s financial reserves. Following this, the band embarked on the ‘Still… At Their Very Best’ tour in September 2023, which ended in March 2024 and further bolstered their financial success.

The band, consisting of frontman Matty Healy, guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald, and drummer George Daniel, has cultivated a devoted fanbase since forming in 2002. Known for their genre-blending sound, introspective lyrics, and socially conscious themes, The 1975 has released multiple chart-topping albums, including their self-titled debut ‘The 1975‘ (2013), ‘i like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it‘ (2016), and ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language‘ (2022). While their song ‘If You’re Too Shy (Let Me Know)‘ achieved the highest chart position on UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 14, ‘Chocolate‘ remains the band’s most commercially successful single in the UK. It was released in 2013 and peaked at number 19. It has accumulated 120 million streams and 370,000 downloads.
The band is currently gearing up for the release of their sixth studio album, for which Matty Healy is said to write about his relationship with Taylor Swift. The frontman has been sharing glimpses into the album’s development on X. In November 2024, he posted a tentative tracklist, featuring titles such as ‘Alone Together’, ‘Give Us Back Our Present’, and ‘EVERYTHINGAMAZINGNOBODYHAPPY’. As of now, Healy has deactivated his X account following a series of public controversies.
In addition to the band’s musical success, The 1975’s drummer George Daniel is also in the spotlight as he plans a high-profile wedding in Italy with pop star fiancée Charli XCX. The couple has been a focal point of the UK’s music scene, further elevating the band’s presence beyond their musical endeavours.
