				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When The 1975 were first revealed as the Reading &amp; Leeds headline <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-to-replace-lewis-capaldi-as-reading-and-leeds-2023-headliner/">replacements</a> for Lewis Capaldi, it was announced the band had something special up their sleeve &#8211; a dedicated performance celebrating ten years of their eponymous debut album.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>As promised, a leather-clad, cigarette-brandishing Matty Healy and co. turned back the clocks this weekend, indulging hardcore The 1975 fans with a setlist that wouldn’t have looked out of place on a 2013 Tumblr user’s dashboard. A culture-defining LP for young teens at the time, <i>The 1975</i> was, in Healy’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/08/arts/music/1975-matty-healy-being-funny-in-a-foreign-language.html">own words</a>, trying to capture “the apocalyptic sense of being a teenager” and remains emblematic of an era where a very niche subculture, characterised by black and white imagery of Dr. Martens and fishnets, provided a new online audience with a sense of identity.</p>
<p>Listen to The 1975’s live rendition of 2013’s “<i>Heart Out</i>”:</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5k2jFmI6oRw?si=e8Z9LkFMT4eAFGWp" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>As evidenced by the huge crowd at Reading on Saturday, the record clearly continues to resonate with young people even today, with deeper cuts such as “<i>Pressure</i>” or “<i>She Way Out</i>” &#8211; songs which are rarely, if ever, played live &#8211; prompting enthused singalongs from an enamoured audience. The fact that a portion of the festival’s attendees made up a new wave of listeners, didn’t go unnoticed, either, with Healy acknowledging:</p>
<p>“<i>This album, I don’t know, it feels quite relevant now, and you all look very young and you’re all enjoying it &#8211; it feels like the internet’s working in the way it should do.</i>”</p>
<p>The frontman is correct in assuming that his band are as relevant as ever: their latest album landed them a TikTok hit in “<em>About You</em>” &#8211; a song which harks back to the sonic landscape and romanticised aesthetic first explored on their debut album. The group’s early hits, however, are still equally as potent, with crowd-pleasers “<i>Sex</i>” and “<i>Robbers</i>” showcasing The 1975’s enduring influence on fans.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Check out their live performance of “<i>Robbers</i>” below:</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qu2QXKDNoWs?si=tp4ZPfftm5i3DJxS" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>Meanwhile, Healy was <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-pay-tribute-to-lewis-capaldi-as-they-fill-in-for-him-at-reading-2023/">quick to appreciate</a> his band had been gifted an opportunity at the expense of a certain Scottish pop singer:</p>
<p>“<i>Well, first of all can we have the loudest round of applause in our set for Mr. Lewis Capaldi who couldn’t make it tonight.</i>”</p>
<p>Capaldi, who has been struggling with Tourette’s syndrome, was initially set to headline Reading, but was forced to cancel a number of shows including the bank holiday weekend festival due to his wavering health.</p>
<p>In honour of its 10 year anniversary, The 1975 will be releasing a special edition format of their self-titled debut album, due to hit stores on September 1. <em>The 1975 (10th Anniversary) </em>is available for pre-order <a href="https://store.the1975.com/?utm_source=Original&amp;utm_campaign=The197520230727&amp;utm_medium=original&amp;utm_referrer=direct&amp;utm_board=umc-uk-catalogue&amp;utm_country=GB&amp;utm_linkurl=the1975.lnk.to%2Fthe197510th">here</a>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Following the release of their new single “<em>Your Side Of Town</em>” earlier this week, Reading &amp; Leeds royalty The Killers gave their latest stadium anthem an appropriately bombastic live debut at <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/reading-and-leeds-festival-organisers-forced-into-changes-due-to-cancellation-and-capacity/">this year’s edition</a> of the bank holiday weekend festival.</p>
<p>Check out the performance below:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">&#8220;Your Side Of Town&#8221; hace su debut en vivo en Inglaterra <a href="https://t.co/xA6poiQ0zn">pic.twitter.com/xA6poiQ0zn</a></p>
<p>— The Killers Fans (@t_hekillersfan) <a href="https://twitter.com/t_hekillersfan/status/1695568481196912801?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 26, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" async="" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>The new song, which marks the band’s first of the year, is also their first release since 2022’s standalone single “<em>Boy</em>” and showcases the Las Vegas rockers’ knack for a catchy hook and driving synth-line. In view of a recent Brandon Flowers interview, however, “<em>Your Side Of Town</em>” may be the last arena rock number The Killers put out for a while, with the frontman expressing a desire to make quieter music for smaller venues.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>Talking to <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/7439f78a-4108-11ee-9be5-c37fa3a5fe8b?shareToken=4f22f3a84e8f8aa8ef601e11e1279cad">The Times</a>, Flowers admitted he had grown tired of the band’s classic sound and even scrapped their latest album midway through recording sessions:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>“<em>Halfway through recording I realised, ‘I can’t do this’</em> […] <em>I don’t think you’ll see us making this type of music any more.</em> […] <em>This is the crisis I’m in. The Killers are my identity and our songs fill the seats, but I’m more fulfilled making music like ‘Pressure Machine’. I’m as proud of ‘Hot Fuss’ as you can be for something you did when you were 20, but I’m not 20. So I’m thinking about the next phase of my life.</em> […] <em>I’m a different person now, it’ll be difficult to go back.</em>”</p>
<p>Listen to the studio version of “<em>Your Side Of Town</em>”:</p>
<p><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qtc0AD2qcx4?si=WY2zH2xbrxRk5KMz" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>The rock and roll talisman didn’t let his songwriting predicament affect The Killers’ headlining performance at <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-celebrate-10-years-of-debut-album-at-reading-2023/">Reading</a>, however, with the band firing on all cylinders and Flowers displaying his usual showmanship flair. “<em>You know they used to call this Reading Rock</em>?”, he declared, “<em>We’re turning back the clock tonight. We just happen to be the purveyors of some of the finest rock and roll on earth.</em>”</p>
<p>Elsewhere during their hit-filled set, the band honoured their longstanding tradition of inviting a fan<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>up on stage to play drums with them. The lucky candidate this time around was a youngster from Bath, whose hand-made sign requested a chance to perform “<em>For Reasons Unknown</em>” &#8211; a wish he was duly granted. Donning a Brazilian football shirt, the boy, named Ozzy, was helped up on stage, where he initially kept the tempo at a slower pace, prompting a joking remark from Flowers: “<em>Go faster,</em>” the frontman said, “<em>More cocaine than marijuana</em>”.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sam Fender was forced to pause his Leeds Festival set due to a medical emergency in the crowd.</p>
<p>The crowd during Fender&#8217;s set became rowdy enough that they were forced to momentarily stop the performance as Fender noticed a fan in need of assistance. He addressed the crowd, <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2023/08/26/sam-fender-headline-leeds-festival-medical-emergency-19401693/amp/">saying</a> &#8220;<em>We need some help over here, let’s stop.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>He went on to check that the fan was okay, <a href="https://metro.co.uk/2023/08/26/sam-fender-headline-leeds-festival-medical-emergency-19401693/amp/">asking</a>, &#8220;<em>You ok? We need help over here, we’re going to have to calm down.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>A source discussed the event with The Mirror, <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-leeds-festival-sam-fender-30796044">saying</a>, &#8220;<em>We’re not sure what happened but Sam acted very quickly and made sure that nothing happened until the medics and security got the fan out of the crowd.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The incident occurred after Fender&#8217;s performance of &#8220;<em>Spice,</em>&#8221; with Fender going on to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/breaking-leeds-festival-sam-fender-30796044">say</a>, &#8220;<em>well we&#8217;ve got the punky ones out the way now</em>&#8221; after a mosh-pit led to a fan being in need of medical assistance.</p>
<p>Following his headlining sets at Reading and Leeds, Fender took to Twitter to share an emotional and heartfelt message with his fans, expressing what it means to him to have made it as a headline act.</p>
<p>He wrote, &#8220;<span class="css-901oao css-16my406 r-poiln3 r-bcqeeo r-qvutc0"><em>To headline was unfathomable, me and the lads have always felt more comfortable as the underdogs, we’ve been the underdogs for 7 years &#8211; from our first show in Ullapool in Scotland, in that beat up van with doors that didn’t open, all the way to this weekend. The imposter syndrome is real, but I suppose that means it’s actually happening.</em>&#8220;</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1975 paid tribute to Lewis Capaldi during their set as they filled in for him at Reading 2023.</p>
<p>The 1975 took over Lewis Capaldi&#8217;s headlining slot after Capaldi <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-to-replace-lewis-capaldi-as-reading-and-leeds-2023-headliner/">announced</a> that he&#8217;d be taking a break from performing to prioritise his health. Capaldi has faced struggles with Tourette&#8217;s syndrome, leading him to <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/lewis-capaldi-cancels-upcoming-gigs-to-rest-and-recover-for-glastonbury/">cancel</a> multiple performances as he learns to live with his condition.</p>
<p>During The 1975&#8217;s Reading set, frontman Matty Healy addressed the crowd, <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-1975-pay-tribute-to-lewis-capaldi-as-they-stand-in-for-him-at-reading-2023-3488998?fbclid=IwAR0WNEDmHMHbxImHC6PX2Pz3M8e-At7WspoYpq446uvxg0arxpsV6vFhlWc_aem_AQZOefJyw5U4kBvbR34Xjq_6htP-yLmX_WdrZLqqCkiO8OQkMq5YUhXYYpk7FVNEjnY">saying</a> &#8220;<em>Well, first of all can we have the loudest round of applause in our set for Mr Lewis Capaldi who couldn’t make it tonight.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Matty Healy had previously touched on his friendship with Capaldi during the band&#8217;s headlining performance at Finsbury Park, <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-to-replace-lewis-capaldi-as-reading-and-leeds-2023-headliner/">saying</a>, &#8220;<em>I want to send my sincerest thoughts to Lewis Capaldi who is a dear friend of mine, who on the day when he had to cancel his tour, checked in on me. And it’s also a reflection on how hard being a solo artist is as I would not be doing this show if I didn’t have these amazing men and women behind me</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 1975 used the opportunity to play an <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-celebrate-10-years-of-debut-album-at-reading-2023/">anniversary</a> show to mark 10 years since their self-titled debut album was released. The band played the album in full, playing throwback crowd-pleasers including &#8220;<em>Sex</em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Chocolate&#8221;</em> and &#8220;<em>Robbers</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The performance was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews, as fans basked in the nostalgia of hearing the debut album performed a decade on. One fan described the atmosphere as being &#8220;<em>like one big family</em>&#8221; as well as being &#8220;<em>insane and incredible</em>.&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reading and Leeds Festival organisers have reportedly amped up their security measures in an attempt to &#8220;weed out&#8221; illegal onsite drug dealing operations. <a href="https://www.nme.com/news/music/leeds-festival-steps-up-security-to-weed-out-drug-dealers-3484477">In an online article by the NME</a> representatives/organisers say that the crackdown comes after the death of 16 year old Micheal Celino, who died last year at Leeds festival after taking MDMA that he had purchased from an on site dealer.</p>
<p>After taking the drug the teenager fell ill and was taken to hospital where he unfortunately died. The teenager&#8217;s parents called for a ban on under 18s attending future festivals. As part of an ongoing inquest into festival safety Festival republic managing director Melvin Benn said that it would be <a href="https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2023-08-24/grieving-fathers-safety-warning-as-thousands-head-to-leeds-festival">&#8220;<em>very </em><i>unlikely</i>&#8220;</a> that an under 18 ban would be implemented, instead he proposed that <a href="https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2023-08-24/grieving-fathers-safety-warning-as-thousands-head-to-leeds-festival">&#8220;<em>the festival will operate a drugs operation aimed at weeding out dealers and having them removed from site</em>&#8220;</a>.</p>
<p>New additional measures of high security have also been implemented in response to the teenagers death, these new measures include on site support hubs, beefed up security staff, sniffer search dogs on every entrance, all of which of course aim to reduce the risk of death to attendees who intend to imbibe illicit substances. Benn elaborated further explaining that <a href="https://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2023-08-24/grieving-fathers-safety-warning-as-thousands-head-to-leeds-festival">&#8220;<em>the intention is that no camper is 200m from a support hub</em>&#8220;.</a></p>

<p>In recent years, despite its illegality, the reality of recreational drug uses relationship with music festivals has been reluctantly acknowledged but ultimately accepted by festival organisers, the official Reading and Leeds website even states that:<a href="https://www.leedsfestival.com/drugs-policy/"> &#8220;</a><em><a href="https://www.leedsfestival.com/drugs-policy/">We do not recommend you take drugs, but if you do please bear the following in mind&#8221;</a> </em>on its drug policy page.</p>
<p>Practical precautions started to appear in the mid 2010s with the introduction of drug check kits distributed by British non-profit organisation<a href="https://wearetheloop.org/"> The Loop</a> in an attempt to reduce harm to drug takers. However despite the existence of progressive benevolent precaution providers like The Loop, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jun/07/mps-call-for-drug-safety-testing-amid-fears-of-rise-in-summer-festival-deaths">according to The Guardian</a> at least 14 younger people aged 18 or under have died as result of taking illicit drugs at a music festival, a statistic that points further towards the need for honest and open drug education and awareness instead of inspiring endless debates that subject those that willingly choose to use drugs to supplementary stigmatisation.</p>
<p>On a lighter note last month Reading and Leeds festival confirmed that The 1975 would be the events final headliners after <a href="http://www.mxdwn.co.uk/news/the-1975-to-replace-lewis-capaldi-as-reading-and-leeds-2023-headliner/">Lewis Capaldi dropped out</a>. This years other headliners include Billie Eilish, The Killers, Foals, Imagine Dragons and Sam Fender. Other acts also included in this years line up are Wet Leg, Steve Lacy, Bicep, Becky Hill, Central Cee and many many more. Reading and Leeds Festival takes place on 25th-27th of August 2023.</p>
