The 1975

[ticketboy69]

I’ve just listened to the podcast, or at least tried to. I could not be around that guy for more than 2 minutes if that’s the way he is normally.

That video where he's making fun of yungblud is pretty funny though

[NorthernSoul52]

Does make me wonder what the rest of the band think of him when he's off on one of these headline-baiting bouts of dickheadary.

Speaking of privilege, here's Variety with a piece on Healy's recent comments on forking out for a meet-and-greet.

It sounds to me that he’s clearly aiming his comments at the major artists that charge upwards of $500 for them (Ariana, Shawn Mendes etc) - that’s a completely different situation to small artists doing them.

I thought that from the context of the article, but wonder if the writer did too.

They're teasing another UK tour.

I'll go again.

A 2024 UK & Europe tour has been confirmed via the screens at their Finsbury Park gig today.

Bloody hell. Another album on the way then?? Right in the frame for Glastonbury if they aren’t taking a break.

Indeed. Apparently Matty said last night that they’re working on their 6th album currently.

Alright. Fingers crossed it’s not like the February 2020 tour where NOACF wasn’t ready so they played basically the same set as they’d done on the previous cycle.

I’m glad they didn’t delay the tour by a couple of months though or else it wouldn’t have happened!

Haha very true with hindsight!!

Saw the first few songs of theirs at Leeds last year before f**king off home. They did look really good live but musically, not for me. A little too bubblegum and faux edgy for my liking. I'm sure they'll go down a storm though, every teen/early 20s in this country seems to love them.

He nailed him and I did like the comment about "the most morally obvious stuff" which applies to a lot of people nowadays, but then making fun of that cringeworthy gimp is a low hanging fruit.

I’d started to doubt if they were likely for next year as I didn’t think the timing would work out for them, but if they’re touring, and most importantly, have a new album due, then that puts them as the front runner for the one non-female headliner by some margin imo.

Yep. The stench of controversy surrounding them is the only reason it wouldn’t happen IMO, and we know Emily doesn’t usually care about that very much.

Agree with this. Weren't there some rumours that they had been booked for next year, too?

Yeah gonna be interesting to see if all this Matty being a bellend stuff affects their bookability when it comes to stuff like Glastonbury. Obviously Glastonbury haven’t had a problem booking acts with prior controversies, and it may well have blown over by then, but it’s rare for an act to have so much controversy surrounding them at the exact time of headlining the festival.

Kanye probably the closest example and he is/was such an icon that the fest were never going to turn him down. There’s really no exact same scenario to compare it to in the modern era I don’t think

Yep, The Sun reported a while back that they’re booked to headline next year. Not the most trustworthy source, but they’re clearly one of the front runners to do it. 

 

[O'Doyle Rules]

But aren’t they sh*t though?

[MEGABOWL]

I’m not a huge fan at all but it does feel like they’re time to me. Would be a solid choice for next year.

[WhoOdyssey]

Wouldn't exactly call it a stench, more a light whiff...

Josh Homme kicked a woman in the face for goodness sake. Axl Rose sang 'Absurd' on the farm. Healy being a twat is small time in comparison.
