The 1975

Recommended Posts

I'm totally not The 1975's audience (far too old) but I think they're amazing.

 

They're very different to what I usually listen to but have seen them live 4 times now and they really deliver. When they play "The Sound", it's going to be a Glastonbury moment.

 

Totally agree that Matty can be an asshole but I have come to terms with the fact that most great pop/rock/music stars are just awful people. I can't imagine how you could be in that position and still be normal.

 

I'm really surprised at how dismissive people are of them, but totally understand that people's tastes differ. I feel like that about Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and Muse, for example.

I've never seen the 1975, only own their debut, but I am intrigued and there is a chance this show could be a real catapult...just wish FOALS would have gotten that shot they were close to...

Foals and Biffy Clyro the two that got away for me. For a brief moment, think both were probably big enough - but then it passed.

 

Sounds strange, to say they've been ready since about 2020, but think if The 1975 don't pop up this time around, they'll join those ranks. 2027 is a long way away and always hard to see who sticks around.

As mentioned in the 2025 Headliners thread, The S*n - and since picked up by others - say that album number six is imminent.

 

They also doubled down on them being Glastonbury headliners, though there does seem to be some speculation they are out in favour of Sam Fender.

Just need The 1975 announcement so I can rest easy until June. Simply don't care about the rest of the lineup (half true)

Yeah, not out as far as I know. But was using it to illustrate the point that not too many sit at the top of the rumour mill for this long and then drop out without good reason, if that makes sense.

 

I'm about seventy-five percent certain they're in. The issue is simply down to whether Glastonbury feel Healy's behaviour is ultimately prohibitive to the position of Glastonbury headliner.

I see little if any evidence that Glastonbury cancels bands or artists based on their behaviour. 
 

Very possible I’ve missed something. Has anyone got any examples?

On the whole you're right, but I don't think Dizzee Rascal has been booked since his DV conviction.

 

Slowthai was also quietly dropped from the lineup one year.

As was Nina Kraviz, for being a Putin fan girl.

Interesting 

 

If their cancelling people for political views then I imagine a lot more should go.

IIRC Emily was hosting Ukrainian refugees at the farm so it was probably an easy decision to make!

Grimes will never get booked if you wanna put it simply. Same with MIA.

I’ve seen both of them play at Glastonbury. Grimes on The Park, brilliant, and MIA on WH. 
 

Why wouldn’t the later be booked?

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
