The 1975

Stormzy does feel a bit like he's winding things back.

In a decade, he could well be the twenty-first century answer to Kate Bush when it comes to live performance.

Back to The 1975, hadn't really thought about much of the new stuff being massive. About You and Happiness are both corkers though.

Maybe too late to the conversation but I went to see QOTSA at Finsbury Park and you're right the bar queues were terrible, I think we queued for about 45 mins to an 1 hour. But I went to Community the day after (we bought tickets in the park in between sets haha) and it was completely different - I assume because the crowds had very different vibes, Community seemed to run young maybe majority under 18 and QOTSA was pretty laddy

I got tickets! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the recent tiktok fame of the 1975 means that a majority of the fans will be too young to buy drinks haha!

Someone listed all their live dates this summer and there is a very conspicuous gap between 21-25 June. Are we SURE they’re not playing..?

I can't remember the right guy to tag, but someone has definitely heard they aren't. 

Edit:

@drunk pumpkin still confident in your info?

I am, unfortunately. There is still no conflicting information that they will make a surprise u-turn and perform.

However who knows what really goes through Matty's head at any given time.

I really hope I'm wrong as I'd love to see them on the farm again

Missed this when you first posted it. Have you had info that they turned an offer down for something this year? Assume a sub spot or something.

I still truly believe they're headline or nothing now but was holding out hope of a surprise set 😭

Sounds like someone needs to grow up

 

Matty Healy, the lead singer of The 1975, appeared on the Adam Friedland podcast last week, where he giggled along to a litany of offensive comments about women, queer people and Chinese, Inuit and Hawaiian people – along with cracking jokes about concentration camps. His fans on Twitter voiced their disgust.

The podcast controversy was enough to make one account, @dailymattyhealy, quit the game altogether. “I’m taking a break from this acc bc of recent events and my mental health,” the fan tweeted. “Im keeping this acc open in case we actually get an apology from matty (doubt it tbh), but as much as i love the 1975 and the fandom i have to take care of myself too, i hope you understand.”

Apparently they were asked to play but not to headline. I'm still being told there is no chance they will appear even in a secret set. 

I'm still hoping its wrong but don't believe it is

They shouldn't be playing anywhere but headline at this point given how popular and acclaimed this latest touring cycle has been and the fact the festival could really do with a first timer British headliner again. If Glastonbury don't get them up top on their next album they've dropped the ball massively, and I'm not even a huge fan of the band.

They should be headliner or nothing, it must be said, on their size and currency alone, but of course...

With this kind of behaviour, whether "in-character" or not, you're only shooting yourself in the foot, frankly.

They're big enough that any online cancel stuff just doesn't filter out to wider casual fans who aren't terminally online like most of us or the kids glued to their social media. Exact same with the Arcade Fire drama last year.

The coverage regarding arcade fire during the last few months in the US and Canada, shows that story has very much remained in the news there...

Matty is pretty much going the Kanye route and nobody will ever do anything about his behavior cause he is a privileged white dude. He knows what he is doing and none of it is on accident. Maybe the one way to shut him up will be to ban him from any Oasis reunion gigs. He can go cry in a corner. The core 1975 fanbase could give a toss what he does either cause they now love that sort of stuff cause "its art".

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
