Festival organizers are suing The 1975 following the British band's 2023 on-stage protest.
A Malaysian festival has filed a lawsuit against British band The 1975 for breach of contract and damages after lead singer Matty Healy protested against Malaysia’s anti-LGBTQ laws during a performance last July.
While onstage, frontman Healy criticized the country’s anti-LGBTQ laws in a speech laden with profanity and kissed bassist Ross MacDonald in protest. The organizers allege that The 1975 and their team were aware of restrictions placed on performers which included prohibitions on swearing, smoking and drinking on stage, taking off clothes and talking about politics or religion and agreed to the guidelines in order to perform.
After the kiss, PUSPAL officers ordered the band to halt their performance, the lawsuit states, alleging that Healy became “very aggressive” towards them, “swearing at them and others.” The next day, the organizer’s license was revoked and the remaining two days of the festival were canceled.
