On their website, multiple new listings were posted. As seen on the site, the band will rerelease a series of tees, hoodies and jewelry from their self-titled era. They will also release a CD and two new vinyl editions of the record. They will include a new recording of a live performance of the record in full, which was recorded February 1 of this year in the band's hometown, Manchester.

The 1975 will also be performing their self-titled record in full at their performance at Reading and Leeds, as announced earlier this month. Frontman Matty Healy took to the stage at a The 1975 gig to announce the performance, after it was revealed that Lewis Capaldi had dropped out of his scheduled headlining slot.

The 1975 have been catching headlines recently. Last week, while on the Asian leg of their The 1975: At Their Very Best tour, their show in Malaysia was cut short after Healy and bassist Ross MacDonald kissed onstage in protest of Malaysia's anti-LGBT laws. The entire festival was then cancelled in response, and so were the rest of The 1975's Asia tour dates. The band are facing a lawsuit from Malaysian musicians over the cancellation.
