The Music for Cars concert tour was the third concert tour by English indie art pop band the 1975 in support of their third studio album A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, released on 30 November 2018. The 24-month long world tour began on 29 November 2018 in England.

The tour was also scheduled to support their fourth studio album–and second part of the Music for Cars era–Notes on a Conditional Form, released on 22 May 2020. However, the tour prematurely ended on 3 March 2020 in the wake of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Originally, the tour was scheduled to conclude on 10 July 2021 in London, England. The tour was supported with the following opening acts and special guests No Rome, Pale Waves, The Japanese House and Beabadoobee.

Several of the 2020 sets were postponed to 2021, but on 12 January 2021, the band cancelled all 2021 shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
