Kapanlagi.com - The band The 1975 is once again making headlines. After canceling their performance at the Good Vibes Festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Friday (21/7/2023), Matty Healy and the others also did not perform on the We The Fest (WTF) 2023 stage on Sunday (23/7/2023).

The WTF 2023 organizers announced the cancellation of The 1975's performance through their official statement on Sunday morning, a few hours before the band, who sings the song About You, was supposed to perform on the We The Fest stage. Here's a statement from The 1975:

"The 1975 regrets to announce that their performances in Jakarta and Taipei cannot be carried out as planned. They have decided to cancel the shows carefully and are excited to perform for their fans in Jakarta and Taipei, but unfortunately, due to recent events, it is not possible to continue the performances as scheduled. Thank you for your understanding and continuous support," said The 1975 as announced via the We The Fest social media account.

1. Incident in Malaysia

The controversy surrounding The 1975 began when vocalist Matty Healy protested before performing at the Good Vibes Festival. At that time, Healy protested against the Malaysian Government's policy banning LGBT. Not only that, Matty Healy also kissed bassist Ross MacDonald on stage as a form of protest against the policy regarding LGBT in Malaysia.

After the protest by The 1975, the Malaysian government not only canceled the performance of the British band but also disbanded the music festival that was supposed to last for three days.
