The 1975 have once again teamed up with War Child UK, releasing a limited edition set of signed prints in an effort to raise funds for Children in Conflict.

The band have created prints in collaboration with Soundwaves Art, a non-profit organisation that creates art using the soundwaves of artists’ songs to then sell in support of various global charities.

Soundwaves Art was established in 2005 by Tim Wakefield, a British artist with a passion for music. He has collaborated with over 500 artists since Soundwaves Art’s conception, raising in excess of $7.5 million for a number of charities. Tim creates his art pieces through a multimedia process to capture the soundwaves of iconic songs.

War Child UK is celebrating its 30^th anniversary of offering invaluable support to children caught in war zones, and in honour of this, Soundwaves Art will be releasing 30 artworks throughout the year to raise proceeds for the charity.

The team at Soundwaves Art said, “We’re starting off with a banger!”

“The guys signed artwork of “I’m In Love With You” a few weeks back and were so excited to release them today to raise money for War Child’s programs with children displaced by war.”

The prints are available to purchase here.

A limited selection of signed and unsigned prints are available, as well as the one-of-a-kind original artworks hand signed by Matty Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald, George Daniel and Soundwaves Art creator, Tim Wakefield. Lead singer Matty Healy has also written ‘I’m In Love With You’ on the originals with added framing optional for each version.

The 1975 have paired up with War Child UK on various occasions, most recently playing an intimate show on 1^st February on their home turf at Gorilla in Manchester to raise money for the charity. Matty took to social media to publicise the show and to raise awareness for War Child UK’s efforts.

The show was part of Brits Week 2023 which saw artists including Sugababes, The Hunna and Years & Years also staging intimate shows in partnership with War Child UK. The charity does incredible work, offering life-saving aid, psychological support and education to children caught in war-torn countries.To learn more about War Child UK, click here.

The 1975 are currently in the midst of one of the most tantalizing album release schedules in recent memory. After returning back to the scene for a few shows in Japan, and then a surprise headline slot at the now legendary Reading and Leeds Festival, the group have made a number of promises – UK, US, EU, and Australian tours; album announcements, a pretty solid Jools Holland appearance, and a bunch of other band-y stuff. Now, we are finally approaching new album day. You can view the pro-shot performance of one of their latest singles, “I’m In Love With You” on “Later… With Jools Holland“ below.

News of the band’s UK and EU tour at the start of last month. Since then, ticket release day has come and gone, with most of the tickets to the original 14-date tour gone; the band announced extra shows in London and Glasgow. These tickets have, also, all but gone – but you can still check here for any of the few remaining slots at any of the shows. Set to kick off in Belfast, next January, the tour is yet to see any information regarding support acts. The naming alone promises the band will be “at their very best”, and at the moment this is something we’ll just have to believe in. Their Reading and Leeds Shows both came with high praise, and that’s about as good a start as we can hope for.

Matt Healey, the band’s overtly outspoken frontman, took to Instagram recently in a tirade against Aussie radio station Triple J. The station shared an image announcing The 1975’s upcoming Australian tour. This apparently tipped Healey icer the edge as he screenshotted the coverage and reposted it onto his personal Instagram account exclaiming, “Play our music then before you start licking our arse just cos you’ve finally realised we’re mint.” He then took to Twitter shortly after stating, “You literally have nothing to do with us coming to Australia don’t start getting involved now. You don’t have a monopoly on cool and the head of your company is a knobhead so yous can fuck off.” Kinda wild.
