Manchester buzz band The 1975 – BBC Radio One posse Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens and Fearne Cotton are all fans – make their headlining Dublin bow on December 11 in The Academy 2 where tickets are €12.

Much of the hype is down to their Facedown EP, which is number two on the iTunes alternative chart. If it were 20 years ago, we’re pretty sure Tony Wilson would have signed them to Factory.
