the 1975 popularity is weird bc they're a huge band but (in America) u ask the average person to name 3 songs and they probably cant do it . but they're selling out MSG and the forum and are second to top on Lolla its strange
imagine ur a casual fan and u want to go hear your favorite songs About You and Somebody Else but you turn up and the singer is onstage splayed out in a lab coat on a patch of fake grass while elvis is playing over the speakers
their singles:
the city

i think if the performers aren’t engaging the crowd to the point where ppl who don’t know the songs are bored, they’re bad performers. i went to MUNA and i only half knew most of the songs and i still had a blast
i love ross so much . like one thing about ross….the kiss in russia and now malaysia, when he started scrapping to defend the band at glasto a decade ago, when he told some policemen to square up during the climate protests 😭💓
a summary of Malaysia fest show so far:
- matty was discussing disgusting accusations he’s gotten and started speaking against the government in Malaysia (it’s very anti-LGBT)
- he said they considered dropping out but didn’t want to let the fans down
….
the brown on brown 😭 the fact that he’s 100% wearing this outfit onstage later, the hotel slippers with NO SOCKS on a CITY SCOOTER ON GOOGLE MAPSDFFJDJDJDKKSKSMS

if i smoked as much as matty did in those 40 mins i would have gone nonverbal and immobile 😭 when caveh was like “that’s a lot…” and matty said “i’ll be fine” jesus
don’t bring ur shit from other fandoms here!! no feather boas!! no 3-day queues!! no friendship bracelets!! we can have separate fandom experiences and make each one unique instead of conflating them all 🤩🤩🤩
ppl saying this is worse than gorilla i’m sorry nothing beats an entire album front to back that was genuinely one of the worst days i’ve lived through
THE MOMENT THAT WE STARTED A BAND WAD THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 THE FIRST TIME WE WENT TO JAPAN 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST THING 😭😭😭😭 THAT EVER HAPPEEND TO ME 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
the thing that struck me was the number of “we” “the band” “the 1975” statements. it’s such a big fuck you to all the people who tried to say that the other guys were mad at matty for what happened in malaysia. they’re a united front and it’s rlly rlly cool to see
his hair is still dampnfrom using the bowl method to set his curls, he’s using the clinique black honey lipstick, makeup by mario softsculpt bronzing stick, rare beauty blush across his nose, and fake freckles
ok so
- matty chunky loafers and hawaiian shirt (then outfit change)
- opened with iliwys ver of go down soft sound into lfstl
- 28 was played
- matty was leid during about you. anything else before i go to bed
At the start of this year an interview came out where Matty stated that he doesn’t understand how a gig could be more than 40-50 quid (£) and it touched a lot of fans, especially me as I’d always proudly show friends how much I paid to see them as it proved how much they cared
“matty looked sad” “he said smth strange” have u guys forgotten he is a weirdo freak who’s obsessed with a bit onstage 😭 i promise he’s good like if he actually wasn’t good i feel like he wouldn’t be performing as well as he is
not sure how some ppl aren’t getting it but being catholic by tradition is different from being catholic by faith 💀 you guys need reading comprehension lessons i fear
hate this era of celebs needing to have a squeaky clean image . like remember the early 2010s when no one gaf and everyone was dickheaded in public??? bring that back
leave gabbriette alone she’s been nothing but kind and sweet to fans. she’s taken pics of fans with matty, and now she’s having fun on the tour and dancing in the pit (as she should). why must y’all police everything that happens just let ppl have fun 😭
he walks from the transparent ATVB house to the curtained fort house (this is how i describe the buildings).
But he walks right by the ATPOAIM deli on his way to the fort.
so… ATPOAIM is a transition to the second leg of ATVB.
