The 1975’s fifth (and ongoing) concert tour, “Still…At Their Very Best,” kicked off in mid-September, 2023, on the heels of their fourth tour, “At Their Very Best.” And although the set looks the same as the two-story house that debuted in November 2022, there are visual—and virtual—twists beyond the newly added B-stage where lead singer Matthew Healy acts out bits between the new tour’s two-act format.
