During their European tour, The 1975 performed a rare track, ‘Anobrain,’ for the first time in eight years, much to the surprise of fans. The performance was held at Cologne’s Palladium venue, where the band began the show with another surprise, playing the 2013 song ‘The City’ live for the first time on tour. Following this, they played ‘Milk’ and ‘Me & You Together Song’ before breaking out ‘Anobrain’ during the fourth song of their 24-track setlist. The rarity was originally released as part of their ‘Music For Cars’ EP but has not been included in a setlist since the end of 2016.
The 1975 finished their tour in Amsterdam the following night, where the rarity appeared in their setlist again as they performed the final show. The night also saw frontman Matty Healy duet with his father Tim Healy, who appeared on stage to sing ‘All I Need To Hear’ with him. According to Setlist.fm, Healy used the Cologne show to announce details of a 10th-anniversary event for the band’s 2016 release ‘I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It.’ However, details of the event are yet to be confirmed officially.
Recently, it was announced that The 1975 has already started working on a new album despite Healy announcing that the band will go on an “indefinite hiatus” from live concerts after their current tour ends. Healy teased a new song briefly during their Birmingham gig last February, before he announced the news of the band’s new album. Additionally, it was reported over the weekend that Healy was attempting to purchase the flat located at the centre of the Night & Day Cafe noise dispute to help save the venue in Manchester
