It only feels like last week that The 1975 played two big ol’ shows at London’s O2 but if you’re already suffering from gig-withdrawal, the band have just the thing for you.
It looks like The 1975 are set to release a film ‘Live At The O2’ which has been directed by Adam Powell, who also directed ‘Girls’, ‘Sex’ and ‘UGH!’. The film is out Christmas Day via Vevo so maybe skip The Queen’s Speech? Check out the trailer below.
Speaking about touring the world and their live show, Matty explains, “You realise it’s not the differences you notice, it’s the consistencies. Whether that’s unique to The 1975 shows, I’m not sure but I’m telling you, we play to the same group of people, the same group of kids every night. Bangladesh, Alaska, Hackney. It’s the same type of people and sure, their hair might be a different colour over here or they might look slightly different over there. The thing is, people seem to notice the differences but for me, you have to search for the differences. It’s the similarities that are blindingly obvious. It’s why it confuses me with the culture we’re in. The internet has opened up the doors and exposed everybody to everybody, shown everybody how different everybody is from one another, and that’s created this hardening of position and people becoming scared of one another. There’s this polarity of stuff, so it’s interesting at The 1975 shows because we don’t really have that as much, it’s just this weird community.”
