hit out at Malaysia’s anti-LGBTQ+ laws during his band’s set on the first day of the Good Vibes Festival in Kuala Lumpur last month, adding “your government are a bunch of fucking retards”.The comments not only caused The 1975’s set to be cut short, but the Malaysian government forced the remaining two days of the festival to be cancelled.It emerged earlier this month that the promoter of the festival, Future Sound Asia, had sent a legal letter to the band demanding that they accept liability for the cancellation and pay over £2 million in damages. Failure to do so, the legal letter added, would result in litigation through the English courts.That would basically be a breach of contract lawsuit, because FSA says that the band specifically committed – before playing the Good Vibes Festival – to adhere to local rules governing live performances.

The 1975‘s lawyers have been working on resolving the band’s ongoing lawsuit with a Malaysian festival organiser.Future Sound Asia (FSA), the organiser of Kuala Lumpur’s Good Vibes Festival (GVF), has demanded the band pay RM12.3million (£2,099,154) in damages after the band’s frontman Matty Healy‘s “indecent behaviour” caused the cancellation of the festival last month.Lawyers for FSA previously confirmed that they issued a seven-day Letter of Claim before legal proceedings in English courts would begin.In a statement issued to the PA news agency on Wednesday (August 16), David Matthew, legal counsel for FSA, said the resolution process was “now in progress”.“We are able to confirm that our lawyers have received communication from the band’s solicitors and we are continuing to pursue the matter, as per our earlier statement,” said Matthew.He continued: “The dispute resolution process is now in progress and on advice of legal counsel, we have no further comment at present.”Matthew previously said that a large component of FSA’s Letter of Claim is attributed towards frontman Matty Healy’s breach of contract.“Healy’s representative categorically provided a pre-show written assurance that he and The 1975’s live performance ‘shall adhere to all local guidelines and regulations’ during their set in Malaysia. Despite this, the assurance was ignored, and the band’s actions also clearly contravened the contract with FSA, which led to the cancellation of the festival and caused significant losses to FSA,” said Matthew to the Malay Mail.The 1975 were banned from Malaysia mid-performance at Day 1 of Good Vibes Festival on July 21.
