The 1975

[NorthernSoul52]

[NorthernSoul52]

Been a long time coming, this one.

[SirPsychoSexy]

It’s official, absolutely made up! Can’t wait to watch with a few drinks.  
 

Been having a listen this morning, Somebody Else will sound amazing over worthy farm, when that guitar solo kicks in 🤤

[NorthernSoul52]

Right, another crack at this then. Previously had The City as my opener on a last guess in this thread, but reckon they bin it and TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME off in favour of People and I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes). (Two changes not for me personally, but just guessing off general knowledge.)

 

1 Give Yourself a Try

2 Love Me

3 Chocolate

4 Me & You Together Song

5 Oh Caroline

6 If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)

7 A Change of Heart

8 Happiness

9 It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)

10 Robbers

11 I'm In Love With You

12 Somebody Else

13 I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes)

14 Love It If We Made It

15 About You

16 People

17 Sex

18 The Sound

Sick with jealousy over all the people with tickets who will spend the next few months relentlessly moaning about them headlining while I'm over here with nowt. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Oh, there will be a few!

Happy The 1975 Glastonbury Day 

Over 10 years in the making

If you're looking for a taster set to try and get into them, then have a go at the following, in this order:

 

Chocolate

Love Me

Give Yourself a Try

Me & You Together Song

Looking for Somebody (To Love)

Heart Out

A Change of Heart

I Like America and America Likes Me (Real World Version)

If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)

I'm In Love With You

Robbers

Somebody Else

About You

Love It If We Made It

Sex

Happiness

It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)

The Sound

 

If that's too long, then go for Love Me, Give Yourself a Try, Robbers, Somebody Else, Love It If We Made It and It's Not Living (If It's Not With You).

 

If you're wanting a festival setlist idea, then try their R+L '22 setlist here - think it will functionally be very similar to what they might play at Glastonbury.

Appreciate the input, had a listen in that order last night and this morning. Can understand why they’re headlining and the tunes will go across well on the Pyramid, along with their live reputation, but overall the tunes aren’t really for me.

More then fair enough! Cheers for giving it a try.

Dunno why but my gut is telling me this is just too "safe". At the very least I can't see "Me & You Together" making the cut as it wasn't even a regular in the SATVB tour. They played "Couldn't Be More in Love" first time headlining R+L, which they had been playing on the ABIIOR tour, but was still very much an album track you'd maybe have expected to be cut at a big festival headline slot (especially their first time headlining at R+L). So I reckon there will be at least 1-2 unexpected picks in the mix. 

 

Also totally think they'll open with Too Shy, and so they f**king should, it's an elite-tier opener.

No "Paris" my personal favourite. 

Would be disappointed if they didn't play it 

[NorthernSoul52]

Paris is a weird one. Was on the R+L '22 sets but get the impression they tend to swap it in and out with A Change of Heart.

 

Love Me has also broadly been absent over the last few years despite being one of the quote-unquote bigger hits here. It's perfect for a festival, but I could well see a case that it doesn't feature as well.

 

There's only about eight songs that are absolute dead certs, then another six that would be surprise omissions. The rest of the set could go any which way.

[NorthernSoul52]

On another note, The 1975 have updated their socials with a new logo font for the band name, which effectively heralds the arrival of album number six.

 

So I think it's safe to assume there will be a single, at the very least, in that set - possibly even dropped in the immediate run-up, a la Arctic Monkeys and Do I Wanna Know? in 2013.

[NorthernSoul52]

I've had a long-running discussion with a friend who has long been convinced Lana Del Rey was big enough to headline Glastonbury and that The 1975 were not.

 

Well, bad news for him today. I'm going to be insufferable.

[JayDiesel]

I think of all the recent headliners (Elton aside), '75 are clear favourites to do a complete shake-up of the setlist and throw in a ton of curveballs.

 

They've been on record as this being the gig they've aimed for their whole career, can't see them just rocking up with the usual greatest hits. Might even get Antichrist (we won't)!

[NorthernSoul52]

Possibly, but at the same time, it's the biggest gig of your career, to possibly the biggest crowd of your career. The hits will be the bedrock.

 

There might be a few curveballs. It certainly will be a tailored show to the moment.

 

But pausing for a back-to-back combo of Medicine and Me, as great as they are, is liable to put half of the field to sleep.

[SirPsychoSexy]

Guest appearances anyone?   Lewis Capaldi maybe?

Unlikely his first show back after a break due to anxiety would be a free appearance on the biggest stage out there i think!

[NorthernSoul52]

Bit of a long shot, though he has done it before.

 

If there is anybody, it will be Tim Healy for All I Need to Hear - unlikely as it is a bit of a niche mood-slower - or possibly Charli XCX pulling double duty. More likely George rocks up during her set the following night though.

 

The absolute banter cameo, of course, is Taylor Swift to duet on Fortnight.

Every act on the poster are touring at present. The only one not touring are The 1975. Definitely makes it more special & may do a warm up gig. 

 

I was wondering if this was the first time this situation has happened?

[chino1]

Also we will have an Matty Healy speech to look forward to...this will be outstanding 

[Andre91]

Cannot wait for this set. That Friday night in my living room is going to be amazing.

No, Kendrick Lamar basically did it as a one-off a few years back. His only other show before hand was a festival in Milan. Those two were the only dates.

Not what I would consider the moment, to be fair. If he stays on song, fine. If he goes off, could be... well, we'll see.

Down in London the night after for Linkin Park, but will be staying up to watch these shenanigans, I do hope.
