Yesterday, the 1975 released their new single "People," which will appear on their upcoming album Notes On A Conditional Form that's due out next year. It's good -- the track landed on our Best Songs Of The Week list this week.

Today, the band took the stage at the Reading half of England's annual Reading and Leeds Festivals, and they played "People" live for the first time ever.
