The 1975

[CaledonianGonzo]

Biffy Clyro

Won't be the first time they've done festival shows together, that pair. 

[NorthernSoul52]

The new live album ain't half-bad either, though the mix is a little off on a few tracks.

I'll be flying in on Friday morning & leaving again after The 1975. If anyone else is doing the same let me know !

 

Did you buy a ticket before you knew they were there?

[NorthernSoul52]

I was thinking this.

As a 47 year old bloke, without a Glastonbury ticket, i don’t really know if my opinion should count for anything on this particular topic.

 

However, forget about that you think the band is sh*t, or the singer is a bit of an arse. Glastonbury is about ‘moments’, and when the 1975 play Robbers, it will be a total ‘Glastonbury moment’, with the potential for the loudest singalong of the weekend.

 

You might disagree, but you would be wrong.

 

They will smash it and I am envious of all of you with the opportunity to see it happen.

[NorthernSoul52]

Robbers, with its final-verse lead-in, could well be a contender for that. I'm pretty certain it is one of the two songs the BBC will package straight to socials and YouTube afterwards.

He’s on a wind up. Ignore 

[NorthernSoul52]

Other "Glasto moment" song contenders are Love It If We Made It, The Sound and About You.

This is my plan. They are my favourite band and want to be there for this moment.

 

I would like to see Rod but don't have time unfortunately. No tickets yet but staying positive.

 

I know it's a strange plan but I have to be there!

Not yet mate

Long shot.

I don't know much about the 1975 but after seeing such mixed reactions to them headlining I watched their full Live from Madison Square Garden concert on YouTube. I wouldn’t be completely opposed to seeing them—they do put on a good show and had a few songs I recognised and enjoyed. That said, if they clash with an artist I really want to see, I won’t have any regrets about skipping their set.

Can only do my best. Are you going?

[NorthernSoul52]

Nah. Glastonbury not for me this year. I'll watch on the box, then have a gig on the Saturday elsewhere.

They really want to play the festival so it will be great! That's the problem with Glastonbury too many acts turning up like it's a normal tour date

[NorthernSoul52]

I will concur that I expect The 1975 to have the most custom-tooled show of the three headliners for it, though I cannot rule out the others also having guest stars in the mix.

I might but doing the same yet...I am happy they are playing. It honestly would have broke my heart if it was someone else after all the rumours. Puzzled as to why this site did not upgrade to strong rumour when it was exactly that 

[NorthernSoul52]

Believe there was a thread elsewhere explaining the reasons behind it.

Great Post! 

[NorthernSoul52]

Mix still isn't quite on for a few of these tunes on the new live album, but it is doing a transportive job, it must be said.

[manchestermusicreview]

As it’s my first glasto, I was hoping for more than one headliner I hadn’t seen before. But, The 1975 put on an excellent show and have such a variety of tunes. Yes, Matty is a bit of an arse sometimes but man he knows how to work a crowd. 

[NorthernSoul52]

I'd wager strong reviews across the board from the press, unless he goes full Healy, to be fair. The Telegraph were pretty keen on the last tour.

[DareToDibble]

Gutted this is my first festival without a ticket (c'mon resale gods!) but I know they will smash it. Feels like it's long overdue. I've They will surely play 2 hours, enough material to fill that comfortably.
