1975 will take a break at the end of the Still at Their Very Best tour, but fans needn't worry – the band won't be gone for long. While performing at Resorts World Arena in Birmingham, England on Wednesday (February 21), Matty Healy said new music was just around the corner – and to prove it, he played a snippet of an unreleased song for the crowd.
Speaking about the impending end of his and his bandmates' European tour, Healy said: “The truth is, everyone's afraid we're going to be gone for ages.”
“We're working on a new record now,” he continued, sitting behind a piano on stage. “I just have to stop for a minute.”
The “Somebody Else” singer proceeded to casually pull out his phone and hold his speaker up to his mic, then played a few seconds of an up-tempo live track that started with a countdown. He went on to share a verse seemingly related to his need to take a break after the tour, telling fans, “It's a line actually, what is… “I take a minute when I think I'm not going to die from stopping. “”
“And that's really how I've felt for a long time,” Healy added. “We appreciate you very much and thank you very much. We're going to go and hopefully make you a good new album. I just don't know what to do in the meantime, really.”

The Manchester band's stop in Birmingham marked their final UK appearance on this tour. Healy, guitarist Adam Hann, bassist Ross MacDonald and drummer George Daniel will continue touring Europe for the next month – with dates in Portugal, France, Germany, Italy and more – before closing out Still at Their Very Trek on March 24 with a concert in Amsterdam.
1975 is touring from late 2022 in support of its fifth studio album, Being funny in a foreign languagewhich debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. The band embarked on a nine-month tour called the Atir Very Best tour, which ran until mid-August 2023, before immediately embarking on another sweep of North America and Europe for Still on their very best tour yet.
