\n\tMatty Healy said The 1975<\/a> will go on an \u201cindefinite hiatus\u201d when the group completes dates for its current Still\u2026 At Their Very Best world tour in late March 2024. The band \u2014 who\u2019ve been on the road playing festivals and headlining gigs since March 2022 \u2014 kicked off the first leg of their current run on Sept. 16 in Atlanta.<\/p>\n \n\tOn the third date of the outing \u2014 slated to run through a March 24, 2024 show in Amsterdam \u2014 at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA on Tuesday night (Sept. 26), the NME<\/a><\/em> reported that Healy told the crowd near the end of the set that the 1975 would take an open-ended pause after their two-year global trek.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful you\u2019re all here,\u201d he told the crowd in video captured by fans. \u201cAfter this tour, we will be going on an indefinite hiatus with shows, so it\u2019s wonderful to have you guys with us tonight. Thank you so much.\u201d Last month, the band extended<\/a> the current tour with the addition of a string of 2024 UK and European dates.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Still\u2026 At Their Very Best run of shows has spawned a string of viral moments this year, most of which were focused on Healy\u2019s attention-grabbing stage antics. After the singer made comments critical of Malaysia\u2019s anti-LBGTQ laws and kissed his male bandmate on stage at the Good Vibes Festival in July, the event\u2019s organizer said they are seeking $2.7 million<\/a> in restitution from the group. Healy then appeared to joke about<\/a> his group\u2019s Malaysian \u201cban\u201d during a headlining slot at Lollapalooza in Chicago in August; the 1975 cancelled shows<\/a> in Indonesia and Taiwan following the incident in Malaysia.<\/p>\n \n\tIn June, Healy said he was \u201cnot very online<\/a>\u201d following his reported split<\/a> with Taylor Swift after a rumored brief fling; neither side ever commented on or confirmed any relationship after photos of the two holding hands<\/a> in New York sparked heated speculation. In other provocations on the road, Healy kissed a security guard<\/a> in Denmark in June, sort of apologized<\/a> for offensive racist remarks he made about Ice Spice in a podcast interview in April and sucked a fan\u2019s thumb<\/a> at a show in January.<\/p>\n \n\tAt press time a spokesperson for the 1975 had not responded to Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request for clarification on whether the announced \u201chiatus\u201d was a planned break from touring after the lengthy two-year trek or if the time out had another explanation. The 1975 spent two years on the Music For Cars tour in 2018-2020, then took a two-year break from the road before kicking off the At Their Very Best tour on Nov. 3, 2022.<\/p>\n \n\tSee footage of Healy\u2019s hiatus comment below.<\/p>\n
