THE 1975
at Roy Wilkins Auditorium
Wednesday 05/17/17, 7pm ($25)
theroy.org
The 1975 is back in America to promote their #1 US and UK sophomore album I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it (Dirty Hit / Interscope Records).
We’ve been covering the UK quartet since their US debut in October 2013 and recently covered their First Avenue show in 2015 and we can tell you that they’ve consistently sold out their Minneapolis appearance.
This year, the band upgraded their venue to St Paul’s Roy Wilkins Auditorium, which is not our favorite venue, but at least it may be big enough to accommodate all their fans.
Show up early to check out all the buzz for Colouring. The London band is touring on the strength of their debut EP Symmetry and their new single ‘The Wave’. The track is taken from their upcoming EP, due from Interscope Records in mid-2017.

Austin’s Missio to open. The band previously opened for K.Flay on her Crush Me Tour. The duo’s breakout single ‘Middle Fingers’, which was quickly picked up on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation (where it hit the #1 spot on the influential “Alt-18 Countdown”).
