All bands are in that category until they break through into the public consciousness.   Fontaines DC sold out a 40,000 event this Summer, they would have been way off that the year before. That's the point - their star is rising fast. That they have headliner stage presence doesn't hurt too.

Yeah think people are massively overestimating the effect Matty’s antics will have on people going to see them and underestimating the crowd they’ll pull. They’re a massive band who consistently over perform people in here’s expectations, and they’ll be very popular on the night. Not for me, but it’ll by no means be a small crowd and they’ll undoubtedly knock it out of the park, especially as you know this will be a huge deal for them. 

So it would seem that the Ciutat program will arrive at the end of January like last year, I don't think there will be any surprises during the holidays...

Love The 1975 more than every other band in existence bar two. Can’t wait to watch their headline set from my living room. Five #1 albums, sold out arena tours galore, headlined R&L and TRNSMT multiple times. No denying they’re a headline sized band. Bangers for days, too. What a band.    Most people won’t even be aware of any of Matty Healy’s controversies. The vast majority of people don’t consume and analyse the world of music in the same way people on a music forum do. They’ll pull a good crowd. 

It comes across as tone policing.  If folk are out of line the mods can and do step in, but otherwise you're asking people to adopt a style or subscribe to a mode of etiquette that suits you but that may not appeal to them.   But anyway, as I said, you'll read stuff on here that you disagree with and that probably also applies to this post.
