It isn't the Oasis reunion frontman Matty Healy wants, but it might be the next best thing: the 1975 will soon join Saturday Night Live as musical guests.

The band's appearance was revealed late yesterday (February 16), following previous news that Jack White would guest during the February 25 episode, to be hosted by Woody Harrelson. The episode will mark Harrelson's fifth time hosting SNL.

The following weekend, Kelsea Ballerini will join SNL as musical guest following the release of her EP Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, performing as part of an episode hosted by Kansas City Chiefs tight end (and newly minted Super Bowl champion) Travis Kelce.

The 1975 will appear on SNL's March 10 episode, which will be hosted by actress Jenna Ortega. It will mark the band's second SNL appearance, and you can find the usual SNL sticky notes reveal below.

Healy and his 1975 bandmates — okay, largely Healy — are eating raw meat, getting tattooed and generally being the real deal at an arena near you on their sold-out world tour behind last year's Being Funny in a Foreign Language.
