Time is running out to see The 1975.

The pop-rock band is taking a break from the road, according to frontman Matty Healy. “We love coming to this place and playing for you guys whenever we have the chance, and it’s wonderful you’re all here,” Healy, 34, told the crowd at a Sacramento, California show on Tuesday, September 26. “After this tour, we will be going on an indefinite hiatus of shows, so it’s wonderful to have you guys with us tonight.”

Their tour ends on March 24, 2024, at AFAS Live in Amsterdam.

Healy would apologize to Ice Spice, but later, he’d dismiss the overall concerns over his podcast appearance. “It doesn’t actually matter,” he said in a profile for The New Yorker. “Nobody is sitting there at night slumped at their computer, and their boyfriend comes over and goes, ‘What’s wrong, darling?’ and they go, ‘It’s just this thing with Matty Healy.’ That doesn’t happen.” However, he would go on to say he’d take back his statements if he could.

In June, Swift, 33, and Healy ended their brief fling. It’s unlikely that Healy, a London native, will use the upcoming free time to relax and take in a bit of American football. That seems espe
