The four-piece are set to headline the Pyramid Stage in June, sitting at the top of the bill alongside Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young.

After the band’s last global tour, which ended in March 2024, they went on an “indefinite hiatus” – Glastonbury is the first and so far only live show they’ve announced since then.

As well as the Glastonbury announcement being made today (March 6) the band have changed their logo and updated their social media profiles with it, leading fans to suggest that they’re entering a “new era” this year. The news has been eagerly welcomed, with one fan writing on X (formerly Twitter), “New The 1975 era…. life is worth living maybe.”

“Just to celebrate the new live album? Or are we getting new music?” asked one fan on The 1975’s subreddit, while another predicted, “New song June 1st and then Glasto and then GHEMB in last quarter 2025,” with a lot of fans thinking that ‘GHEMB’ could be the name of their next album.

The new logo is a marked departure from the one used in the promotion for their last album, 2022’s ‘Being Funny In A Foreign Language‘, and has a thin, serifed style – leading one person to quip on X, “What in the Times New Roman is this shit?”

The font choice certainly seems to have divided opinion, with one fan on Reddit saying, “I like this font way more than the previous one. Nice, simple and elegant. Feels like reading words from a book,” but another opining, “They need to hire [a] graphic designer.”
