Matty Healy says The 1975's next album is nearly finished
Matty Healy shared an update on The 1975's next album in a video for the Sunday For Sammy charity event, joking that he would never finish it before saying it is almost done. It would be the band's first full-length release since 2022's Being Funny In A Foreign Language. The 1975 have previously said they made two albums, with DOGS expected to be at least one title.
Healy, a patron of North East charity Sunday For Sammy, appeared via video at a North Shields event where tribute band The 9075 performed. He first teased that the record might never be completed, then said it was nearly finished. This would be the group's first full-length since 2022's Being Funny In A Foreign Language.
The band has suggested two albums exist, with DOGS named as at least one possible title. Manager Jamie Oborne previously described the material in strong terms and said no release date was set, suggesting the group could take its time because expectations were high. Healy later said he was spending long hours in the studio.
The update may intensify anticipation among The 1975's fanbase and indie-pop listeners, potentially boosting streaming, ticket demand, and festival interest around any eventual release. Because Healy shared it through a charity event, Sunday For Sammy could receive extra visibility. Industry observers may also watch whether the long gap affects commercial momentum, though the band's loyal following could sustain attention.
