After spending two months in the headlines thanks to his proximity to Taylor Swift, Manchester songwriter Matt Healy has plans to bring The 1975 to Tampa.
This afternoon, the U.K. indie-rock band teased North American “tour news tomorrow.” It’s still unclear when or exactly where The 1975 will play Tampa, but hours later, Tampa venue Amalie Arena posted a The 1975 graphic with the caption “Tomorrow, 10 a.m.”
The band—nearly a year off the release of its last album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language—is currently on a summer tour of European festivals, and comes to America in August and September for festival dates in Chicago, Honolulu, Atlanta and Las Vegas.
Healy, 34, has recently been the ire of Swift fans after tabloids romantically linked him and Swift after the pop-superstar’s April stadium shows in Nashville. The problematic pop star has also come under scrutiny for racist remarks he made about Swift collaborator Ice Spice—comments for which he’s apologized and also brushed off.
The 1975, for its part, has drawn acclaim for its exuberant, artsy, indie-pop that’s earned Healy & co. two Grammy nominations, four Brit awards, one BBC Music award and five NME awards.
