Matt Healy (The 1975) Speaks About the Ethical Dilemma of Playing Coachella

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 เม.ย. 2019
- Earlier today Matt Healy from The 1975 stopped by the Alt 98.7 sound studio for an intimate performance & interview - and WOW it was amazing.
It started with a solo/acoustic 3 song performance - which included an INCREDIBLE previously unreleased song which will blow your mind Then went into a very open, honest and heartfelt conversation about Coachella and why he liked being there and why he didn't like being there
While acknowledging what an incredible platform Coachella is for a band, he also wasn't shy about bringing up some controversy surrounding Philip Anschutz, the owner of Coachella's parent company AEG
From The Daily Beast:
A few years ago, The Washington Post revealed that the often-problematic festival’s issues went way beyond appropriative accessories. A 2016 report on America’s “enemies of equality” is often cited as blowing the lid off Coachella and its founder, Philip Anschutz, the owner of entertainment conglomerate AEG. The Freedom for All Americans campaign reported that Anschutz, one of the richest people in America with a net worth of $12.9 billion, gave large sums of money to the Alliance Defending Freedom, the National Christian Foundation, and the Family Research Council. According to the Post, the National Christian Foundation “funds a lot of the groups aggressively working to chip away at the equal rights of LGBT Americans.”
Here's what Healy had to say...

How is Matty both a wise grandpa and a cool millennial at the same time?
Have you seen who his parents are 😂
Heroin
@@GreaseMonkeyNath17 who are his parents?
cuz he’s a capricorn
Rain &Rainbows damn this comment >
Matty is fine as wine in the summertime
Marissa White: yess girl!!
tru 😭
And yes, on a slippery dime.
Now I understand why he said ‘I’m a hypocrite’ on stage last Friday.. fair play Matty, you were brilliant
edijkman1 this past friday he said “go donate your money to some gay people” and you could tell some people in the crowd were confused lol
the way he has learned to pause and take his time to think about what he wants to say in order to be articulate is so inspiring
That's just the years if heroin abuse kicking in
can we get him on a ted talk
Yvette Mendez ooooooooo yes please
fucking yessss we need a podcast
that's exactly what I was thinking
This!
AHHHH YES
He's so intellectually gifted, not just in terms of writing music, but just in general. He has a very astute way of speaking on and looking at controversial topics
Fair play brother
blessing us by giving us higher iqs
@@jacklynch4996 are u crazy
no he is not, he is far from it!!! his grammar is all over the place!!!! he doesnt even talk in a tone that pushes his point across further, even his mannerisms are shocking. See you probably failed to realize until now that theres more to intelligence then just sound / words....your appearance, mannerisms etc etc all work in tandem when it comes to intelligence and persuading people into believing their views. Why do you think presidents and newscasters wear shirts and ties???
@@franzbeck3177 What? Lol. Appearance and mannerisms have nothing to do with intelligence. Is Elon Musk not intelligent? Dude doesn't dress in a traditional "professional" sense. Are Google engineers not intelligent? They don't either lmao
"i dont know if i have an astute opinion on it"
**goes for three minutes**
That's was creepy... read this comment precisely as he said it
yh that happens sometimes
@@justice7788 what's even weirder is that I read the comment and then read yours as it was happening, what is this
well he waffled for a little bit but the things he homed in on were definitely strong and built his argument well. Matty's not always concise but is anyone really like that when you're put on the spot without notice?
i think he made a good case for the band playing there. it might be biased but i can't see many other artists being able to say this same argument for their acts. The1975 have always been vocal about progressive ideals they support and that's what makes this so sound for their act and only a handful of others like it.
the fact he talked about coachella and that there’s no governments with morally clean slates is such an understatement, as most celebrities wouldn’t want to speak up and be vocal about these things as it’s got nothing to do with them
He’s so sober it’s amazing
Devon Martinez dude i wish I could agree I saw him live a few weeks ago and he looked so high it made me sad :(
Kiara Martinez really?? I thought he was clean now
Rebekah Sinclair yup, there was a moment in the concert where he sat down and asked for silence and just kinda ran out of breathe and looked desperate, I wished I had a video. I didn’t record most of the concert, it looked like he did coke or something, he was also drinking wine backstage, like between songs.
@@KiarabejustYou He may just be burnt out, he's been doing daily shows for months now. or he smoked weed
He's still showing signs of someone dirty. Management tells artists to lie or to try to make it look like they are better for sales and marketing. Anything that's a story is marketing. No one's perfect, people struggle to find sobriety.
he deserves an award for not finishing his sentences
He's always so eloquent and he has a great point. I just wish they played Loving Someone. I know there's a bunch of logistic stuff around setlists for big festivals but playing that song would've made a big statement.
Max Flores yh man. a political statement, which would’ve made headlines.
Max Flores yess!! I would’ve loved to hear it, I know they want people to play crowd pleasers but i know they’re tired of chocolate and sex, it’s been years now
Someone fucking said it, thank you
Very cool to see someone not afraid to pause and be silent on order to get his words out in the way he wants them.
as artists all we can do is make art and hope people listen but i feel like coachella is not the place to create change, things like ariana grande displaying the pride flag there etc. doesn't help, the festival just lets them have the stage for the moment and still makes the money. the crowd is young people who know but still buy the tickets and go and it's like everyone just put their minds aside to go attend it.
tasminemma I disagree, I think that artists should try and make change at coachella, yes coachella is making lots of money but they would be making just as much money if, say, Ariana grande didn’t present the pride flag. The fact that coachella is so big means that it has such a massive platform for artists like Matty to give their messages and know that people will hear them (because of the mainstream popularity). The main audience is also young and impressionable so if the artists are giving out positive messages then that can only be a good thing xx
Tegen Y as if showing a flag is going to produce as significant amount of change as not performing would? The owner doesn’t care wtf you do up there, because at the end of the day you’re giving him what he wants (money/publicity for his festival), which allows him to continue his hateful rhetoric without any problems. Acting like something so small is ‘activism’ is counterproductive and just adds to the problem of indifference toward those in power that hold those sort of negative views.
MUNCHIIEZ obviously I do see where your coming from, however, like matty said in the interview, if an artist is to deny a show like this based on the fact that they don’t like their principles or whatever almost every artist would be denying every show (this isn’t me excusing any behaviour btw). This means that unfortunately artists are going to perform at coachella either way so why not make the most of their influence on stage to spread a good message? I do see where you are coming from tho and there is always more than one side of a story 🤷♀️
Tegen Y there are plenty of music festivals put on by great people, though. Boycotting one thing doesn’t mean boycotting everything. And in this case, with Coachella being as big as it is, I feel it’s really important for power to be taken away from the people that own it. It’s a true statement that there’s not really anywhere that has a ‘morally clean’ slate that you can work with out there, but morals are different for everyone, and what is morally clean really does vary in severity. These things that people would boycott Coachella for are, mainly, two very basic things that we as a society have agreed is very wrong. Deciding that saying no to performing at one specific festival = saying no to every festival is a very untrue statement, and really does seem quite dismissive of what the people who are affected by the hateful rhetoric of the owner of Coachella are trying to say. (I don’t have a huge problem with smaller bands, such as The 1975, saying yes. I feel it is really irresponsible for people like Ariana Grande, Beyoncé, The Weeknd, etc., to say yes to performing at events like this. Their names alone will bring in such a huge number of people, and will therefore bring an insane amount of money to the festival, which, at the very least, is directly contributing putting money into the pockets of the people holding these sort of beliefs.)
MUNCHIIEZ really well said 👏🏼👏🏼
Such an intriguing personality, would love to meet matty and the band together
honestly i need to get me a man with a mind like matty's, i will not settle for less
Or have a mind like that yourself!
@@NDMeow93btw love this answer! I see where you were coming from but i do consider i have a mind like that, and since i do, i think it would be impossible for me to get along with a guy who doesn't share my ideals.
Sry for the long comment i thought it needed the disclaimer
I just love how articulate he is
I just can't wait for reading festival so he can see a British audience and how amazing we are gonna be ❤️
The fact The 1975 are headlining reading backs up Gary winthorpe’s point. I think they should bring back the smash hits poll winners party for The 1975 to play.
Extremely well said. As an attendee in the exact scenario he spoke of, not hearing any songs aside from remixes of theirs, they swayed me and their set turned out to be one of my favorite from the entire festival. True talent. These guys are masters of their craft.
I didn’t know Coachella had those affiliations??
I could listen to him speaking all day I love him so much
matty is pure, i loveee my favourite bandddd so MUCH
IM ALWAYS MAD PROUD BUT I WILL ALWAYS BE
Was this recorded on a VCR?
Love u Matty. You're a beautiful soul
oh my goooooddddddd this is why I love Matty so much
He’s the only one that addressed this situation, im so proud and thankful for him he’s such a pure authentic person i have never been let down by him as a fan or regretted stanning(if that’s even a word) the band, i love matty and i will always appreciate him as an artist
I adore that this man is essentially the same man on stage as he is off.
(Saw him on Sunday live in Santa Barbara and loved it. Such a great experience from great men and women)
simply fantastic
I saw The 1975 a few years back and I was genuinely taking a break from the heat and sitting in the shade in front of the main stage. They took the stage at sunset and my mind was so blown. Became such huge fan and was so blown away by how amazing the band is. Definitely a high light for going to Coachella. I don’t think I would have found them with out Coachella!
there’s such a genuine feeling and infatuation with matty mind. i’m so obsessed
He made a fan out of me during his set at weekend 2 for sure.
Amo como se expresa Matty! 😍
Just found out this fella's mum and dad are Denise Welch and Tim Healy! Way to make me feel old :)
I love this band so damn much.
me too babes
He’s such an intelligent individual. I love how he uses controversial topics in the music and really PUSHES the importance of topics that everyone needs to be aware about. He cares so much about so many things and he’s such a genuine person. Wow. I’ll always be a fan
I love this man
Thank you Matty. Your words are appreciated
god i love the way he explained this. i saw him two days ago at coachella and he killed it! love u matty! a lot of people there aren’t superficial though, there were a good amount of us fans in the front lol
Marty is so articulate in the way he speaks about... well everything!!
I have to go to Coachella next year
what is the point of trying to fight against something while materially supporting the same thing? it's like never ending cycle
Love Matty, even though they cancelled their concert at Red Rocks :(
he's so thought-ful
Love matty so much
Somebody get this man a podcast where he simply states his opinion on things I'd watch him over the news
Duhhh!😂❤️❤️
fave video on youtube
This is why I love Matty
I watched it live-streamed in Nyc and you could see Matty was struggling w a few different types of feelings... I would have too. Have 2 college daughters and have taught them appropriate ‘concert/festival behavior:’ if you are visible to artist, show respect and watch show!! Sent my daughter to Coachella last yr as high school graduation gift... report back was: drink/drugs/clothing/scene w music as a backdrop. No thx, see you in DC and Gov Ball🖤🖤🖤
love that.
So many of the people who perform or attend Coachella don't talk about the things Matty does in this interview, so I appreciate it
he performed coachella in 2016 and 2019, and was excited to do it both times. he didn't challenge the audience in anyway, he sang and danced like a pop star. he just now wants to talk shit about coachella to act like he's against commercialism. he's a poser.
people saying he looks healthy yet here i am sitting, thinking "wow he looks like a mess"
dunno if he's just tired as hell, but look at those bags under his eyes.
He does look a bit tired
😂
Go ahead Matty!!!
I hate that they played at Coachella but their finally becoming more widely accepted and if they turned down this festival they likely would have been cancelled. The bastard who runs it has a lot of power. He could stop them getting gigs at other venues.
The public has power over festivals like Coachella. We can strip it of its power easily, I won't ever expect artists to risk their careers.
Azire C which bastard? Let’s get him
People turn down Coachella all the time . What’re you on about
They went and got paid just like everyone else.
Read how many venues are run by AEG. Also how many other venue owners are friends with that guy and carry the same beliefs. Educate yourself before judging artists, or better yet you and a group of your friends try take on a billionaire alone. Honestly laughable.
he could simply not talk shit about a festival his band giddily played twice though right? He has to act like he hates Coachella because he wants to be considered an artist who hates commercialism so bad.in reality he's a rich kid in a pop band, he was excited both times he played coachella. When the 1975 played coachella in 2016 he said many times "i'm so excited to be here" from the stage, i remember i was there.
Let's preach for Matt becoming a worldwide youth ambassador.
He makes a fine point.
how is he so well spoken im in shock
AEG is the problem, Coachella is a festival which promotes climate change, recycling and inclusivity. The issue is the promoter, AEG, is run by a shady billionaire. AEG own tonnes of festivals, venues such as The O2 and Madison Square Garden. I’m very confused to see people not doing their research and attack one of many festivals AEG promote world wide...is it because it’s cool to hate what’s popular?
The Goat thank u!!
yes!!! I’m glad someone said this.
The Goat exactly!!!!!!
they're listed as an affiliated artist on AEG's website. So they definitely knew the motives behind AEG, it makes me disappointed in them
Also it’s a pretty shit festival knowones having a good time they’re all just there so they can say they’ve been there
I agree, I think that as an artist he should be using opportunities such coachella who has these negative affiliations to spread his message of equality because it is such a large stage and will get a lot of attention. I think the issue lies more within the consumer who doesn’t acknowledge the affiliations that coachella has and chooses to ignore them. If you choose to go to coachella and they do not align with your beliefs it’s important to acknowledge them as an influencer. It’s influencers (youtubers or whoever) who go and ignore the connotations that coachella has but then later spread messages of equality, it just comes off as slightly hypocritical. They should acknowledge them instead of trying to sweep it under the rug, it’s not as if they don’t know about it because it is been a big deal this year.
he played the festival in 2016 and 2019 and now wants to act like he hates coachella and used it as a way to champion minority rights? i don't know why he's trying to act in this interview like he did anything other than dance and sing like a pop star BOTH times they played it.
Michael Cory and I agree but I don’t think he’s acting like he hates coachella, I think he is stating that he doesn’t align himself with those beliefs. My point is that he is acknowledging the dilemma of playing coachella because they are controversial and do have discriminatory beliefs but they are also a massive stage that provide him and his band with an opportunity to spread something other than hate to thousands of people. He is using that opportunity to not be hateful. You’re right maybe he isn’t outright saying “fuck you coachella” while he’s on stage but their music is one of unity and does spread messages of equality to listeners and festival goers. Also don’t you think we should give him props for at least acknowledging the situation rather than pretending it doesn’t exist like other influencers and celebrities do.
@@carlynrobertson813 i think everything he said in this interview is ridiculous, untruthful, and insulting. The 1975 did coachella twice (2016 and 2019) they obviously have no qualms about playing it. I saw them both times at Coachella and they were great, excited to be there even. In 2016 Healy said over and over to crowd how excited he was to be at Coachella.
Now months after doing it, he's trying to act like coachella is not his scene or something.
He's not Kurt Cobain, he's a pop star that dresses in costumes and dances on stage like Freddie Mercury. Which is fine, like i said I enjoyed them at Coachella both times, but why does he do coachella and then a month later act like he felt weird about it? He didn't, he just wants to play up this anti-commercialism, "artist" thing and it drives me nuts.
The worst part is when he said "well it's important to do these mainstream things and then remind and challenge the audiences way of thinking" except HE DIDN"T FUCKING DO THAT! He played it twice, and didn't challenge or say anything. He's a poser.
He came to United States, was so stoked to play coachella, and then goes home to Britain to slag it off. I think it's ridiculous and it's why the 1975 will never be famous in America. We liked Oasis because Oasis was honest about their ambitious, their drives, and didn't give a fuck about creating some fake image. Healy wants to be famous as Oasis but perceived as Kurt Cobain, challenging the system, blah blah blah. He's a pop star doing pop star things but wants artistic credit so bad.
I'm a pretty big fan of the 1975, but as someone who goes to Coachella every year, has a blast with awesome people, it's beyond insulting to play the festival and then talk shit about it afterwards. Coachella is not as superficial as people think. If you watch it on tv of course you would get that perception. The truth is the vast majority of people that go to Coachella are there for the music. He's been twice, he knows better.
Every interview i've ever seen with Matt Healy makes me like him less. His music is great, so are his performances, but Matt is a poser to the point where he's actually insulting.
@@carlynrobertson813 i see what you're saying about not supporting venues and promoters, but the responsibility to boycott those are on the 1975's shoulders, not us average music consumers. If they didn't play places, we wouldn't go. It's not fair for them to profit from playing a show and then acting all bitter, calling it "superficial", etc.
The 1975 is the one in the position of power to change things here, but they chose to play the festival and make money from it, even though they clearly realize the ethical dilemma. They knew what and who they were supporting and they just did it anyway. And then had the audacity to act righteous about it afterwards. The 1975 get no credit for their righteous stance unless they actually fucking practice it themselves.
He sang and danced on that coachella stage 4 times. I was there for two of those times, he was excited to do it. This interview is disgusting.
I literally fucking love this guys ideas I’d vote for him
the 1st week coachella the1975 performance had more feeling. we were crying during "love it if we made it" ..& while i appreciate he had an uphill battle i guess the 2nd week & had to use noticeable, but wellplaced autotune, it lacked a bit of something.
great explanation too getting over the moral hurdles likening it to not refusing to play in trump's america👍🏼well-rounded answer
God I love him.
He said the EXACT same thing in Phoenix like word for word, that intellectual noodle boy kills me 😂💘
he looks so healthy and happier than before 😍😭 i'm so proud
Y is this 360p
As an annual Coachella goer. Outside of the Beyonce year, majority of the crowd IS there for the music. The people just there to be seen are definitely in the minority, just a vocal minority. And it's what you see all over social media. But if you spend an entire weekend on the grounds, its definitely for music lovers. It gets a bad rep that isn't accurate for the most part. The people who run Coachella may have certain affiliations but the festival goers dont reflect that.
ChawletMelk I’m glad someone’s speaking facts. I’ve gone before, haven’t been in many years, but I still have a ton of friends who go, and they go for the music. Also, I don’t get the bad rep part. I think people read and believe what they want to believe. Yea, AEG owns goldenvoice, but only part owner in Coachella. Also, AEG owns so so many things throughout the world, I think Coachella is just getting singled out.
ChawletMelk i think the problem is moreso the mass amounts of money made by coachella that fund anti-lgbtq+ organizations. the problem is then too with the festival goers who willingly buy tickets knowing this.
His brain is so beautiful
Huh, I might have to give The 1975 another chance. heard a few of their songs and was honestly not too impressed, but I can tell this guy is a very articulate and intellectual person! I agree with everything he had to say. I would like to think that there are some major hardcore fans that do the coachella experience primarily for the music. Would have to disagree about Beyonce and Daft Punk being the only iconic performances at Coachella though. I have never been, but i hope to go one day where the lineup matches my tastes. I wait every year for the livestream just to discover new music lol.
What other iconic performances do you think there were ?
some recommendations i would guve you would be: Robbers, Somebody else, the sound, girls, its not living if its not with you, falling for you, chocolate, sex, etc. I listened to their songs a couple of times and after a few listens i became a huge fan
To see him strive for authenticity and talk about real shit. wow.
I'm glad he talked about it because as a fan i was really confused why he agreed to participate in a event that is helping and associated with things such as supporting anti-LGBTQ+ and pro-gun foundations if in his songs literally he opposes it but now I understand. It doesn't change the fact that I'm still troubled about going to Coachella as a individual. I don't shame the people who went there and enjoyed it but personally i couldn't take part in a event like this.
he took part in it twice 2016 and 2019 and was happy to do it. he's a pop star, he doesn't hate commercialism or champion minority rights in anyway.
I was there from the UK for the music and these guys put on the best gig of weekend 2 (excluding the weird and wonderful world of Mr K West!). Ironic really when you travel 10k miles from the UK and end up enjoying a band from the UK the most (nice round off for me, having seen them in 2013 at Reading Festival when they were way down the bill!).
It's an odd but amazing place all in one, is Coachella. It's easy to assume that everyone there is there for the 'gram pictures and that the crowds are ignorant of the music but i think the fact this year didnt sell out proves that this isnt necessarily the case. Once the lineup was released there wasn't a truly massive name as a headliner for the type of festival it is and many tickets went unsold.
Don't misunderstand me though. There are soooo many people there who are only there to be seen to be there and couldn't give 2 hoots about any of the performers. Which is odd for me because UK festivals are all about the music, the atmosphere (the beer!) and not a lot else.
Must admit i didnt know of the controversy but have done a lot more reading on the issues with the parent company since i got back and agree with Matty on those issues. I had an amazing weekend and would go back but i'd need some evidence that Anschultz is perhaps bringing his company in to the 21st century.
Matty for PM!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s interesting because regarding the issue of coachella not being somewhere where people attend for music/live shows - I feel like that’s mostly a weekend 1 problem. All of the celebrities and social media influencers go weekend 1, so most of them are there to work. They’re not there for shows. The people that attend weekend 1 are generally wealthier and there for the clout. I just got back from weekend 2 and the vibe was so so different. People were really excited for the musicians. Each concert felt like a hug or a kumbaya session because everyone was just so excited to hear the bands that they loved so so much. At the 1975 show, everyone around us was a Stan and just really enjoying every second of their music and performance. We laughed and felt camaraderie. Maggie Rogers was similar - Maggie cried and so did like everyone in the audience because we were just so so happy to see her and hear her and be a part of such a special live show for her career. I also noticed so so so many queer couples at weekend 2. As a gay woman, it felt great, and most of the artists were very blunt and clear about their support for the LGBT community. Matty discussed it, and every time someone in the crowd held up a pride flag, the camera people would specifically give a lot of time to those flags on the monitors. I hope matty was surprised and impressed by the differences at weekend 2, but who knows. Maybe it’s all in my head.
I love a man.
He looks so strung out but sober I really hope he is okay 😭
I see his point but what i don't understand is why they decided to take loving someone off the set list for this specific show and not do anything to support the lgbt community like they literally promised they would, it's kind of odd???
They don't usually play loving someone during shows anymore so it isn't that strange.
@@Sean-bt7yr they did at my show
@@allhailzayna5686 but it's not an every night thing. They didnt play it at mine
sean sink they really have only played that at the big arena shows, they played it every show at England, but I think they should’ve added it to the setlist for this particular festival
Ikr especially cause he says that he wanted to use their music to speak up about those issues. Even if they dont usually play it anymore, I kinda expected them to have their most lgbtq song on this set list :(
this was an amazing little engagement with the issues surrounding the problematic nature of Coachella; Matty talking about intellectual consistency
Why are Coachellas affiliations negative?
Coachella is Selfie Fest
I’ll tell you what Coachella promotes... instagram & narcissism.
*boom*
But I’m glad you, as “”artist””, are bringing up other self righteous things (that at this point in time are trendy topics🙄)
What happened why did he said if they knew what he was talking about?
its matty if we’re gonna do things properly
Im not understanding anything yet I still watched the whole video......
i see my head
I see it too
Dante Regier i mean like i was actually there but ok lol
20 seconds in this vid and first thing that comes to myself:
Is weed legal in the europe?
Parts of it. I know it is in Holland. Not in the UK where Matty (and I, incidentally) live, although law enforcement isn't all that hard on it, at least in my area.
literally what is he saying at 0:47 please need help x
“get them to have noticed that you’re there, and then convince them that they should be a fan of your band...”
genius
I'm alittle confused but I'd rather be with sober Matt Healy than shitfaced Matt Healy
basically he's saying Coachella is shit and it makes sense to not want to perform at Coachella bc of their shitty affiliations with conversion therapy and anti-gay groups etc BUT also if you were to make that exclusion, then it would only be right to stand your ground on other areas like performing in countries where there are no LGBT rights at all. And thats whats so conflicting.
Emma Yep! This matty sucks!
To me: Regardless to how he likes “expressing himself a lot”...He’s gotten too emotional, too political now. I stopped listening to his new album just bc of his first single “love it if we made it”.
I miss the old Matty. The “Chocolate”/“American” Matty.
Not this “anti-trump”, and “fk off, we are pop!” Matty. He’s just gotten over the top and annoying. This video just shows it.
Also, regardless to what Coachella is doing... it’s for the music. Period. If someone doesn’t like it “ because of this and that”.... then don’t fkin go! We music lovers will have all the fun... Bye! 🖕😎
Purpledreams_82 Matty isn’t American though, why would he try to create a facade like that? . People grow when they get older, they get wiser.. trying to think of a reason why you’d spend so much time writing a shitty comment to spread negativity is just an unnecessary thing to do . If you don’t like it, go. There’s no need to be mean.
Shelby Barber U didn’t read properly to know that I was bringing up his song “American” and Not him being one. I’m not the one starting political negative shit,...Matt is. If u think he looked normal to u in this video then, I don’t know what to tell u. He doesn’t, nor sound normal. I’m not going to argue all night bout how he’s not himself anymore because I already did on my initial comment. Opinion is an opinion... don’t like it? Going to be a baby about it?... don’t reply back.
I like Matt in his earlier albums bc it was good music, didn’t care much about the lyrics and meanings. Just loved the sound of it. Even hearing them 200x over, while listening to the lyrics I loved it. Now..... he’s just became too self centered, too much politically emotional. Even doubting his genre for god sake! It’s just pathetic! U can even hear it in his voice and body language in this video. In matty’s own words: “Ugh!” 🙄
Purpledreams_82 I’m sorry I didn’t read your comment properly. My mistake. But I don’t understand why you’d watch this video if you don’t like him anymore? Just seems a bit unecessary to me. Whatever.
thats my baby
My issue is they didnt really make a statement. The song LGBT fans wanted to hear there was Loving Someone. That song went unplayed. Also some bands that care about supporting proper causes donated chunks of their pay to lgbt organizations. I dont expect matty to go hungry or anything but this man wears shirts that cost hundreds of pounds, so im sure he could afford to give away part of his pay to worthy causes.
Kate Cox knowones perfect. I went to reading festival and he played loving someone and it was the best moment of my life but in America ALOT of people are homophobic that would go to coachella and it can actually put people in danger.
He’s so high omg
I legit thought it was Bob Ross in the thumbnail
My guy you're back in that stuff... I love you man please don't die. Your music has literally given me a new life. You won't even read this, but if you do, please be safe.
So funny cause I wanted to go to coachella to see the 1975 😂
Same lol
SLC PUNK said it best, we're all posers.
the crowd was semi-dead at coach

puta que es bacan este weon
บางวันก็เป็นอาแป๊ะ บางวันก็เปนป๊อปสตาร์ 555 be healthy and stronger Matty luv u
He seems a bit spaced out?
StrawberryNinja Nibbles don’t forget though, they’re on tour at the minute and lately they’ve been doing two shows a day & mattys been doing promo and stuff like this, and as soon as the show at night finishes they go back to the bus and record notes 🖤 and i think in this he’s trying to get his point across clearly so he’s slowing it down so he makes sure she gets his words right
they’re playing 300+ show this year so it makes sense
Not every single person is super up beat n on the ball all the time. Doesn’t always come down to “OH SHIT HES BACK ON THE FUCKIN DRUGS” he’s just himself
@@holly9846 also in the promo phase for ABIIOR Matty's words were often taken out of context resulting in him receiving negative backlash, he probably tries to be more cautious and aware of the things he's saying when talking about controversial topics now
he just tired dawg
Not sure I understand
Coechella owner is a right wing homophobe.
