In July 2023, the 1975 headlined Good Vibes Festival in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Malaysia has extremely strict laws banning all homosexuality, and in an effort to protest that, frontman Matty Healy made out with bassist Ross MacDonald onstage. It did not go over so well. In addition to the 1975’s set getting cut about 45 minutes short, the whole rest of the festival was canceled, too. The 1975 also canceled subsequent shows in Indonesia and Taiwan. Good Vibes Festival organizers Future Sound Asia demanded the band pay the equivalent of about $2.7 million in damages, or otherwise face legal action. That’s one expensive kiss! Now, those organizers are suing the 1975 and all its individual members for a total of $2.4 million for various antics stemming from the festival.
