Elsewhere in The 1975 news, the band were also today confirmed as one of the headlining acts for the 2019 Reading and Leeds Festivals. Matty Healy and co will be alongside Foo Fighters, Post Malone and Twenty One Pilots in being announced to top the bill at next year’s festival this morning. Healy told the NME that their forthcoming festival slot fulfils a childhood dream, having attended Leeds Festival so much in their teens.
“The reason we’re doing it is I need to headline Reading and Leeds festival, because we went there as fans when we were kids,” Healy said. “Every time I [play] it, it’s like I might as well have just been there in the pit, jumped over the barrier and grabbed the mic. That’s how I feel at that festival. It’s sick. We went to Leeds like 10 times when we were kids.”
