Best birthday present ever, was a bit disappointed that Matty Healy did not come out to say hi when me and my auntie waited an hour and a half in the freezing storm for him to just laugh and wave at us, on top of that they drove away but nonetheless I had a great time at the concert and I am looking forward to seeing them again in the future if they tour in Newcastle again, fingers crossed.

The 1975 were effortlessly entertaining and their show was filled with humor, amazing vocals, dancing, feel-good music, and some of the best visuals I’ve ever witnessed. Even if you have never heard their music, it is so easy to vibe with and they make sure to make everyone feel like a family for one night. There will be songs sure to make you dance and one or two to make you tear up. Regardless, they were amazing live and I recommend them to everyone!

So one critic wrote a review about this particular show and he went off on them. He wrote that he found the auto-tune very distasteful but that the youngsters didn’t seem to mind it since that’s what they’re used to with contemporary music.. He said it was bubblegum music that was too sweet for his taste. He also found the ‘peace offering’ Matty Healy did, where he stepped out into the rain, ridiculous (it was hilarious to me). I thought they’d curated a nice setlist since it included songs from their most recent album but also some fan favourites and they also chose to sing a song a fan had requested them to sing. The overall atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Mainly because the people in the audience were so kind to one-another and everything on stage was done perfectly; lighting, dancers, styling and the band. Say what you want about this band but they do know how to put on a great freaking show!
