The 1975<\/a>\u2019s Matty Healy<\/a> has given fans an exciting update on the band\u2019s long-awaited new album, revealing that it is \u201calmost done\u201d.<\/p>\n

The update came in a video that was played on big screens at an event for Sunday For Sammy, the North East charity of which Healy is a patron. Tribute act The 9075 were playing at the event at Salt Market Social in North Shields yesterday (September 25), and Healy thanked those in attendance in the video, before giving the tantalising news.<\/p>\n

Healy initially joked about progress on the record, saying: \u201cI\u2019m never going to finish it.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, he then quickly changed tack, adding: \u201cIt\u2019s almost done.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 9075 have formed a close relationship with the charity, and made headlines in July when they were secretly flown to Malibu to perform at Healy\u2019s stag do<\/a>, where the frontman ultimately joined them on stage himself.<\/p>\n

Healy\u2019s latest comments mark one of the clearest recent updates on The 1975\u2019s first full-length release since 2022\u2019s \u2018Being Funny In A Foreign Language\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last December, Healy revealed that The 1975 had actually made two albums<\/a>. During a Q&A at Gateshead College, a fan asked him about the significance of the word \u2018DOGS\u2019, which mysteriously flashed across the stage at the end of their Glastonbury 2025 headline set<\/a> and had also appeared on drummer George Daniel<\/a>\u2019s kit.<\/p>\n

Healy confirmed that it was the name of an album before adding: \u201cWe made two. It might be one, it might be two\u2026 but yeah, we\u2019ve made two albums.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s manager and Dirty Hit boss Jamie Oborne had already confirmed ahead of last year\u2019s Glastonbury that they were working on a \u201cpretty extraordinary\u201d new record<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know when it will come out, but they\u2019re making one,\u201d he said at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s already a pretty extraordinary record,\u201d Oborne continued, adding that he had a \u201cconstant discourse about it\u201d with the band.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019ve earned the right to take their time. The world\u2019s gonna be listening, so it needs to be right.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Speculation surrounding a new era first accelerated when The 1975 changed their logo and social media imagery in early 2025, before making their live return for their debut Glastonbury headline performance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The band have largely remained out of the spotlight since then. In February, Healy revealed he had been \u201cliving in the studio and not sleeping much\u201d<\/a> while working on new music.<\/p>\n

He also performed an acoustic set at Sunday For Sammy earlier this year<\/a>, where he covered The La\u2019s and James Taylor and brought out Lewis Capaldi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 1975\u2019s last LP, \u2018Being Funny In A Foreign Language\u2019, was awarded four stars by <\/a>NME<\/a>, with the review declaring the band \u201cback to their very best\u201d, adding: \u201cCombining the band\u2019s slightly sidelined knack for writing huge, immediately memorable pop bangers with the more complex, neurotic lyrical voice of The 1975\u2019s more recent releases, \u2018Being Funny In A Foreign Language\u2019 feels like the right next step after pushing experimental excess to its logical conclusion, and is comparatively lean with just eleven tracks to its name.\u201d<\/p>\n
