The 1975 fans have set up camp outside the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff ahead of a huge gig as part of the band's UK tour. The Manchester four-piece will hit the Welsh capital on Monday, January 16 as part of their 14-date UK and Ireland tour which will also see them perform in London, Exeter, Birmingham and Glasgow.
The tour was announced in September in support of the band's fifth album, 'Being Funny In A Foreign Language'. The gig will also be the band's first time back in Cardiff since the pandemic - their last appearance saw them play the Motorpoint Arena in late February, 2020, just weeks before Wales went into its first lockdown.
Throughout Sunday fans began to gather outside the Motorpoint Arena with the aim of staying overnight and securing a place near the stage. The first 100 people to show up are given wristbands first thing in the morning of the gig. It allows them to explore the city and check in at their hotel before coming back for the gig and dodging the queue. By around 7pm on Sunday evening around 12 tents could be seen along with more people in sleeping bags.
