The Cheshire-born frontman, 38, is known for his quirky on-stage presence, with his sharp suit, smooth moves and a signature travelator delighting many loyal fans of the Sound hitmakers.
Lead singer Matty often appears on-stage with a glass of wine - yet some viewers watching the band's first Worthy Farm headline stint from their sofas might not have been aware of his stage habit.
The 1975 - who are currently on a pause from touring with Glasto their only 2025 show - rattled through a series of their hits including Chocolate, I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes), Somebody Else and a rousing finale of About You.
Yet despite the stellar hits and a mission to promote "love and friendship" some fans were less than impressed.
One took to X to argue: "@1975 you should be ashamed of your lead singer! My 14 year daughter loves your music but the state of your lead singer took the decision of us not allowing her to watch you perform!
"Drunk and smoking on stage is totally unacceptable in this era!"
Another then wrote: "Please put down the pint glass."
One posted: "He's got a lovely voice but put the cig down Matty."
Others were impressed with the first headline act on the Pyramid Stage for 2025.
They put: "Absolutely incredibly awesome, fantastic set."

Another mused: "I wasnt familiar with them, at the start I thought omg he's going to pass out and run the show or something, by the end I thought, wow, they deserved that slot, impressive, they know what they are doing!! Might have to give them a listen now, very much enjoyed!":
A third then put: "On stage with a pint of Guinness in one hand, a cigarette in the other and getting on a travelator at the front of the stage is pure gold."

‘This kid should start therapy from birth' people gasp as parents-to-be reveal baby's VERY unfortunate name
The parents wanted to use three important names in the moniker NAME SHAME 'This kid should start therapy from birth' people gasp as parents-to-be reveal baby's VERY unfortunate name Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM and dad have left people stunned after revealing the name they've chosen for their unborn child. The proud parents delightedly took to social media to share the name they've settled on for their "beautiful daughter", who's due on 4th September.

"Fecalynn - honouring her grandparents Fernando, Cameron and Lynne - who are important parts of my husband's and my lives," the mum-to-be wrote. The name announcement was shared on the That Name is a Tragedeigh group on Facebook, with the poster writing alongside a screenshot: "Just found this one. Poor Fecal!" Unsurprisingly, the comments section was immediately filled with people taking aim at the parents over the choice of moniker. "Give me strength! The lass must change her name when she turns 18," one wrote. "In other news: this kind of rubbish should be illegal to do to a future adult human," another added. "This is not even a good pet name!" "This kid should start therapy before birth," a third sighed. "She'll need it. Moms like this need serious mental help." Influencer couple who gave son a VERY unique name have done it again with holiday-inspired moniker for their baby girl "This kid is gonna get the literal fecal matter bullied out of her," someone else commented. "I never thought I would hear a name that is wildly unsanitary, but here we are," another wrote. "Awww, sweet. We can call her Feces, for short," someone else joked. "No no no no no!!!!!! Ugh. Can't be real. Correct…?!" another pleaded. While someone else hilariously added "You've got to be s**ting me", another insisted: "People like them really aren't looking at dictionary before naming their children!" And others in the comments added that there are tonnes of other name options that incorporated the three grandparents' monikers - that don't include the word "Fecal". Banned Names in the UK The UK has no law restricting names, but names that contain obscenities, numerals, misleading titles, or are impossible to pronounce are likely to be rejected when registering a child.

"A hyphenated name would be less tragic than this," another added. "Fernanda-Lynn Cameron. Still not great but better than this atrocity!" "Felynnca, Fyrnne, Rondolynne, Camdolynne," a third commented. "I hate them all, but they're all better than FECAL and I just thought of them with less than 30 seconds effort!"

It's last orders for craft beer
The best pint you'll ever have is whatever you can find at 5 p.m. on a Friday. But close behind, and available wherever there's a willing bartender, is whatever your local brewery has a fresh keg of. That, at least, is what I'll tell anyone who can't make a speedy exit. I am a craft beer bore. Dismissed as an early cause of the male midlife crisis, craft breweries have revolutionised beers. Where once you were trapped between mass-produced European lager and lukewarm old man ale, British craft beer has proved more flavourful than anything that came before it – and only occasionally in a bad way. You can imagine my sadness, then, in reporting the decline of the Gipsy Hill Brewing Company, my own local. While the brewery won't be filing for bankruptcy any time soon, my sense is its heyday is behind it, and with it the heyday of many great independent breweries. I discovered Gipsy Hill after moving to south-east London six years ago, eager to expand my tastes after some youthful dabbling with BrewDog. Critics would no doubt note that Gipsy Hill fulfils the craft beer cliché, its flagship Hepcat IPA (4.6 per cent) is hoppy, hazy and sports an image of the gloriously bearded head brewer on its cartoonish can. At the risk of riling aficionados, a fresh keg of Hepcat served at the nearby food market still ranks among my favourite beers. And judging by its increasing presence in London's posher boozers, I'm not alone in reckoning the IPA is mainstream enough to convert a few lager louts to the cause. Less likely to tempt the normies is Gipsy Hill's limited edition lines, comprising New England IPAs (juicy, slightly bitter), west coast IPAs (piney, more bitter), and the odd stout (like Guinness, but not bang average), as well as bitters, double IPAs, doppelbocks, saisons, wheat beers, festbiers, radlers and whatever else. Local pride no doubt makes me biased, but I'd rank many of these against the best beers I've ever drunk. For years Gipsy Hill has converted me even with styles I'd otherwise avoid. In the odd gaps that lockdown offered, its taproom served as a sanctuary, if your idea of redemption is a 6 per cent IPA and the bemusingly named 'tube steak' as your substantial meal. Alas, all good pints are eventually drunk Alas, all good pints are eventually drunk. Unsurprisingly for an industry where a premium 440ml can of beer could be priced at a tenner or more, the cost of living crisis has squeezed many craft beer taps. Higher production costs, lower consumer spending and moderation in younger generations meant that more than 100 independent breweries folded last year, according to trade body Siba. While Gipsy Hill's taproom bustles on a weekend, you can see things are slowing. The brewery's charming micro bar was shuttered last year. With the once sprawling beer range pruned back, only a handful of specials are available on draft, with limited edition cans absent from fridges and the webshop. Defensive manoeuvres, perhaps. But my fear is that Gipsy Hill's founders are cleaning house before selling up. The founder of Beavertown brewery sold the last of his stake to Heineken in 2022, suggesting craft brewers are looking to cash out, even if the additional scale tends to come at the expense of quality. With Gipsy Hill's original trio having started more than a decade ago, I could hardly begrudge such a decision, which would come with an established name, solid core range and decent distribution. But my new advice to fellow boozers is to stock up: it's getting harder to find a good piss-up in a brewery.

Lucky person claims £210,000,000 EuroMillions jackpot - could it be you?
A lucky person has finally claimed the record-breaking £210million EuroMillions jackpot. A person in France was the lucky winner with the numbers 24, 31, 34, 41 and 43, while the lucky stars were 06 and 08. One Brit came desperately close to claiming the record prize but missed just one lucky star and won comparatively paltry £182,967.60 All lottery winners have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their winnings. Recent winners include dearest friends Carly Wiggett and Becky Witt who used a horoscope to win £168,000 each. A family from Cork, Ireland who won £216,000,000 and revealed they plan to stay in their home city, with no 'outrageous plans to spend the cash yet – except maybe a Rolex'. The jackpot reached its cap of 250 million Euros – an estimated £210 million – for this latest draw. But not all big winners have had a fairytale ending, with some falling victim to assassination, abduction, substance abuse and, somewhat ironically, financial trouble. The number of millionaire winners whose lives have taken a turn for the worse has led some to dub it a curse. To win the next week's unprecedented estimated jackpot, entrants must have five winning numbers, as well as two EuroMillions Lucky Star numbers. For the Thunderball, players need to match all five main numbers plus the Thunderball.
