In a monumental understatement, the 1975 singer Matthew Healy has described his band’s rise from grimy Manchester to Coachella-approved success as nothing less than a “delirious ascent”.

However, the quartet’s rise has been anything but meteoric. Before hitting a nerve with its 2013 debut, the 1975 slogged it out for a decade under names ranging from Forever Enjoying Sex to Drive Like I Do. Somewhere, Healy and company learned to hit the sweet spot between golden-years Duran Duran and purple-clad-pervert Prince. After selling out the Vogue last time it came through town, the 1975 is now playing venues like the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre, which it headlines on Wednesday (April 27).
