So was supposed to see The 1975 tonight. And I’ll admit: fully aware of Matty Healy’s shenanigans as a noted racist, alcoholic, rambling Swiftie stage creep yet I still wanted to watch. But then...

Dude has a rambling meltdown during their Malaysian festival date. A considerably conservative Muslim country, he rambles about LGBTQ rights and has a long make out sesh with the bassist on stage.

Like, the intention is there but its like having your toxic friend support your cause by picking fist fights.

This results in them getting banned from ever playing in KL. But they also just announced right meow that they’re also cancelling on tonights Jakarta date plus a Taipei date.

Also, that Malay fest also got its remaining day cancelled, denying them sets by The Strokes among others.

Since the whole Malaysian incident, I was really looking forward to watching a trainwreck tonight. But not like this. Oh well.

Oh wow damn

AdeMagnaye: bit of a factor in Indonesia too. A friend was to fly in to speak at an LGBTQ event here but seems the police got involved, specifically checking hotels, so it got cancelled.

AdeMagnaye: absolutely no one appreciated it. And he’s just trolling now.

Good thread

He just parachuted in with a hero complex, with no self-awareness about how profoundly privileged he is. Fuck him and fuck that bullshit.
