The 1975

[TiZuff]

big fan of their music, but feel torn about going to see them considering the things healy has said. has he ever come out and  apologised or said he regretted any of it? 

considering whenever a rapper gets the headline slot we have people talking about the use of the word bitch and how its a bad look, surprised at the lack of stuff about healy.  are the 1975 seen as "controversial" in the wider world for glasto? i dont do twitter / instagram so havent really seen too much about it. 

kinda hoping i get pointed to an interview where he seems genuinly remorseful and i can go see them without feeling like a complete sell out.

[NorthernSoul52]

He's acknowledged it, and he does tend to frequently apologise in concert - the run at the start of last year was free of many shenanigans, and he spoke very much about it as a meta-persona.

 

But an outright proper grovel? Not sure.

[FKA SOSOTWS]

He did a big blanket apology recently after he took the bait from Azealia Banks' bullying posts. Clearly got a call from the management team. Not that apologizing stops the haters, because they will just feel emboldened that they have some sort of power.

 

And no, nobody outside terminally online circles gives a f**k.

Banks is, I'm sorry to say, a weapon. An absolute weapon.

 

But yeah. Ultimately, your mileage on Healy is likely already made up from the past few years. There will inevitably be things to shift the needle - he's too much of a shithouse to not do something along those lines - but imagine most opinion is already formed on him for those who know of The 1975.

[SirPsychoSexy]

Azeila(sp?) Banks is a horrid woman, some of the stuff she is spouting is disgusting.   

Matty needs a PR representative,  whilst some of his actions over recent years have been misguided & ill judged I’m pretty sure he hasn’t meant any harm.  It’s clear to see he’s a sensitive soul but he needs guidance on whats acceptable in the public eye, some folk are just not cut out for that level of fame.  
 

Besides, had he not had that fling with Taylor Swift nobody would give a toss. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Not sure how many PR reps could do the job on Healy, but it could well be a consistent barn-burning exercise.

 

Anyway, wonder where they'll do the warm-ups. Gorilla again, perhaps.

Just had this email through 

[Suprefan]

Oh boy here we go. Theyre gonna do some whole thing and everyones gonna say its the best gig of the century

[NorthernSoul52]

Not too surprised. Always been quite fan-driven - would assume it is a massive video montage played either as an intro or across the background of their last song - possibly The Sound. (Not sure there are many other songs in their catalogue that rival The Sound as show closer, which makes it all the more fascinating they try to avoid playing it there.)

[Suprefan]

Lets also point out that they said this is their only gig for 2025. 

[NorthernSoul52]

They have?

[NorthernSoul52]

More I sit on this, more I wonder just how heavy they could go on the debut record. Been getting to points where you sometimes only have two songs - Sex and Robbers - locked in, but given this is the biggest show of their careers, with their debut still their strongest catalogue pull, got to assume they just off The City or perhaps Heart Out.

[rwoo]

Hoping for something like this, with maybe a new one squeezed in. Not completely sold on the order.

 

1.  The City

2. It's not Living

3. Looking for Somebody 

4. Me & You Together Song

5. Settle Down

6. Oh Caroline

7. A Change of Heart

8. All I need to Hear

9. About You

10. Paris

11. Be my Mistake

12. Happiness

13. If you're too Shy

14. I'm in Love with you

15. Love it if we made it

16. Somebody else

17. Girls

18. Chocolate

19. Sex

20. Give yourself a try

21. Robbers

22. The Sound

 

I'd be delighted with that.

I'd be delighted with that. 

Reckon Love Me might also make an appearance somewhere too but that would be terrific!

[Porcelina]

fallingforyou surely will get an airing for the pre-album days.

 

Doesn't get played much now, but She's American is still a top three for me.

 

 

[harryy]

I have always said in my decade of being a fan, that 'antichrist' (never/refused to be played live and always wanted by the die-hards) the eventual glasto headline is the time to do it. That, or never. 

 

Also need 'You' / 'Milk' on the setlist + the fan bit makes me thinks 'Guys' will be played.

[rwoo]

Love me & She's American would both be welcome additions. They've got such a great catalogue now

[NorthernSoul52]

Don't think I've diverted too much from the setlist I cobbled together an age ago in here. Will have to dig it out.

 

But if I was going wild on a wishlist, could definitely go off.

well they're not just Manchester's, but the world's greatest band. So it tracks. 

[NorthernSoul52]

The only thing that's ever stopped them from knocking it out of the park in my head to be fair is Healy - if he's on point, they'll ace it. If he fudges the moment - more plausible than not - then they might bugger it up.

 

The hope, surely for the long-term, is that they can come back in a decade and do it again. Plenty of changing currents and winds to play into that, btu we shall see how it all plays out.

[yosoyyoberdi]

Do we think they will bring out someone to join them or will they keep it about themselves?

Could go either way. I’d imagine they’ll have a guest. Would Charli do it?

[JayP1983]

Been watching their show on YouTube live from NYC. That show is something else. If they come close to emulating that this headline slot could be very good indeed.
