Rat Boy to support The 1975 on November UK tour

The 1975 have announced Essex kid Rat Boy as main support for their upcoming UK tour.

Dates take place in November, where the band are set to showcase material from their second album and “new chapter”. In a statement released last month, they said: “Our new record signifies the start of a new world for us, a more colourful world & a less colourful world.”

They’ll play “venues we have loved and places that we feel intimate enough to do a proper show with people who want to be there or need to be there in extreme cases.”

Swim Deep have previously been announced as U.S. tour support. See UK dates below and listen to Rat Boy’s ‘Sign On’ single - this summer he plays the DIY Alcove Stage at Latitude.
