The 1975 are headlining Friday night at Glastonbury 2025, and the reaction has been mixed.
The band is fronted by the controversial figure, Matty Healy. He provokes strong reactions on both sides of the spectrum. The frontman is widely regarded to be a Marmite figure in music circles. Some adore his messy stage presence. Others totally abhor him and his off-the-cuff comments.

The bad
The decision to give the top spot to The 1975 was called “absolutely mental.”
“Absolutely mental that The 1975 are headliners, just an awful band Either Alanis Morisette or Busta Rhymes would have been much better as headliners. Like genuinely what are we doing,” someone wrote.
