Knowing that we were going to sit down with The 1975 for this month's extra special cover feature, we knew pretty quickly that we wanted to place the fans front and centre.
As part of that, we wanted to hear about your experiences with the band. Your favourite songs, album takes, and even the questions you'd love to ask them. You responded in your droves.
May the Twitter* debates begin.

A brief inquiry into offline relationships
We asked you to recall your favourite experience of seeing The 1975 live - the where, the when, what it felt like, and even if you could to share a photo with us of that show.
We got people from all across the globe sharing their experiences and pictures.
The 1975 in ink
We all know that The 1975 has a rare and special connection to their fanbase, and so it was no surprise that of all the people who responded to our poll, nearly a quarter of you have a tattoo dedicated to them. We got to see such an incredible range (the box still comes out on top of people's top pick) spanning across all five eras of the band and here are some of our favourites.
