The new stuff is heavy on the U2-like atmospherics, maybe as a result of too much time spent in LA recently, and for a brief spell, the palm-of-the hand vibe of the earlier part of set is completely lost. The set features mainly tracks from 2013’s The 1975 album, as well as some of the newer material from their forthcoming record. The times, they are clearly a-changing.įind out about upcoming shows with our Winter gig guide Tickets were begged, borrowed, and stolen to get these most hardcore fans in tonight, such was the unprecedented demand, yet so many find it preferable to film it on a phone, snapchatting away with uncontrolled abandon. Confusion reigns in the shaking heads of the older generation. In all but venue, this is an arena gig, the lyrics are sung at the band and gesticulated with thousands of hands in the air, and there isn’t a single second of this 16 song set that isnt captured on hundreds of phones. The crowd are more than up for this, though, and love him they do. Tellingly, the first song is Love Me, and that’s kind of the vibe for the rest of this admittedly hit packed set. After a decent amount of ‘frontman delay’ to set the mood, on walks Healy, all long shaggy locks and clad in white linen, almost Christlike in his self obsession. On the band come, short hair and black clothes. Or are they? From the very off, one thing remains clear. Some of these fans had even spent the previous night sleeping outside, so keen were they to be down at the front to witness Matt Healy‘s band of brothers. Anxious and expectant gaggles of girls joined swathes of skinny jeaned lads with Harry Styles haircuts in eager anticipation of the arrival of this ridiculously popular band.

Tonight saw an excited fervour spread throughout the room as the crowd grew. The last time Liverpool Guild Of Students saw a crowd beset with such unbridled and unfettered slavish devotion was back in February when Ryan Adams played to a packed, hot and sweaty house. Mancunians The 1975 kick off their tour in Liverpool, Getintothis’ Paul Fitzgerald reports from a sweltering evening at the Guild of Students.
