The 1975 look like they'll be back next month, according to posters spotted featuring a 7th July date

The 1975 look like they'll be returning to action next month, with posters spotted in the wild featuring a 7th July date.

Alongside a photo of Matty Healy which appeared earlier today on a revamped website, there's no context for the date - but it could indicate when we'll hear the first new material from the band's fifth album, expected to land later this year.

It follows a splurge of activity already today from The 1975, including returning social media accounts, new profile pictures and a suggestion of a new blue, black and white aesthetic for their fifth album era.

Coming in tandem with 1st June, an important day in the mythology of the band – frontman Matty Healy came upon the band’s name alongside the date, scribbled in the notes of a book – fans have been hoping it would mark a comeback point, after months of inactivity following the deactivation of social accounts earlier this year.

This morning, the band’s website was updated with a photo of Matty Healy, and a new sign-up form promising “album 5 news first”. Alongside that, the band’s profile pictures on their individual Instagram accounts have also changed.
