The 1975

This was my very first time, seeing The 1975 play live and on tour. Well, my mind was blown right from the get-go! The set was well-lit with the use of single table lamps as well as layers of spectacular stage lighting. It was wonderfully quirky and original, almost a musical play in a sense, with all group members knowing their place on and off set. Matty, enjoyed his s****l prose as much as I did, with one particular scene, commencing with pretending to snog someone - with his arms hugging himself, then lay himself down on a couch, unbuttoning his shirt, lingering his hand at his crotch and being extremely suggestive with his gesticulating! After some general flirting and kneeling on the stage, he commenced biting like an animal, into a prime Ribeye of Beef before finally doing some press-ups and disappearing headfirst into a TV. Finally, right at the end, Matty tried climbing the Telephone pole, then decided against it! All being said, I can honestly say, I left the Theatre, a changed woman and genetically at that!

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!

The 1975 concert was v good !! i have been a fan of them for several years now and i was so happy to have gotten to finally see them. i was in general admission and i had a great time. the pushing was v crazy and there was a point where i was stepping on several peoples toes at the same time. but after the first couple of songs the crowd died down and at some point matty told us to take two steps back, which helped a lot. other than that first part, it was just fine afterwards. i had a great night and The 1975 puts on a great show so i’ll definitely be seeing them again (:

It was quite an experience... to say the least. I had a GA ticket so getting close to the stage was difficult, even though I got there early. Also, it was delayed because of thunderstorms, so we had to cram into bathrooms for what seemed like hours. However, it was all worth it when I somehow made it to the second row despite the chaos lining up and they finally came out on stage. The set list was also amazing! Worth all the pain from standing for hours!
