The 1975 wants fans to get involved with 'special' Glastonbury plans
The 1975 wants fans to submit "memories" to be featured in their Glastonbury headline set. The 'Love Me' hitmakers - made up of Matty Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel - are topping the bill at this year's Worthy Farm festival alongside Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young, and they have something special planned. In an email sent out to fans on Tuesday (27.05.25), they said: "Join The 1975 in a special collaborative project for Glastonbury Festival. "We're inviting fans to share their favourite moments with The 1975 – whether it's footage from concerts, photos with your vinyl collection, or clips of you and your friends enjoying the music. 'Your memories could be featured in a collaborative video project debuting at Glastonbury.' Photos and videos can be submitted, while the page comes with a disclaimer for anyone getting involved. It reads: "You grant The 1975 the irrevocable right to use, reproduce, edit, publish, distribute, and publicly display the submitted media in any format or medium, now known or hereafter developed, including but not limited to promotional materials, broadcasts, websites, and social media channels. "You confirm that you are the rightful owner of the submitted media and have the authority to grant these rights. "If any individuals other than yourself are featured in the submission, you confirm that you have obtained their consent to be included and to grant the rights described above. 'No compensation or credit will be provided for the use of the submitted media, and The 1975 is under no obligation to use any submission." The Glastonbury show will be The 1975's only gig in 2025, as confirmed by their manager and Dirty Hit label boss Jamie Oborne. He told 'The Money Trench' podcast: "It's such a big gig, and it's the only show that we're playing this year. '[Matty Healy] thought doing it in isolation would be a really powerful thing. I obviously agreed with him, as I often do.'

Glastonbury headliners The 1975 preparing sixth studio album
The 1975 are working on a follow-up to 2022's 'Being Funny In A Foreign Language'. Matty Healy and co only have one concert booked for 2025, headlining Glastonbury on June 27, which frees up their time to make their sixth studio album. The 'Love Me' group's manager, Dirty Hit label boss Jamie Oborne, told the 'The Money Trench' podcast of Glasto: 'It's such a big gig, and it's the only show that we're playing this year. '[Matty Healy] thought doing it in isolation would be a really powerful thing. I obviously agreed with him, as I often do.' On new music, he said: 'They're making a record at the moment. I don't know when it will come out, but they're making one. 'I think they've earned the right to take their time. 'The world's gonna be listening, so it needs to be right.' Oborne teased that the LP is already sounding "pretty extraordinary". In 2023, Matty revealed the band would embark on an 'indefinite hiatus' from live shows after completing their mammoth 'Still… At Their Very Best' tour in March 2204. Performing at the Golden 1 Center, in Sacramento, California, in September, he told the crowd: 'It's wonderful you're all here. 'After this tour, we will be going on an indefinite hiatus with shows, so it's wonderful to have you guys with us tonight. Thank you so much.' Matty's mum Denise Welch had admitted her son was 'absolutely exhausted' and 'ready for a break". The TV star told Britain's OK! magazine: 'Matty is absolutely shattered. He's on a world tour and as much as it's hard to go, 'Oh please feel sorry for my boy', people don't realise that it's gruelling to be the lead singer, the creator, the writer, the producer of a massive show on the scale that Matthew does. 'Then he gets on stage and gets in a plane and flies seven hours then flies 24 hours. 'It's a wonderful life, but he's absolutely exhausted and ready for a break.'

One to watch: Model/Actriz
Exuding glamour, spectacle and pathos, Model/Actriz create a ferocious mix of industrial rock, dance-punk and pop that's often sexy and disturbing in the same breath. After breaking out in 2023 with debut album Dogsbody, the New York four-piece spent 2024 touring relentlessly, likely leaving every stage they played slicked with a mixture of sweat and blood. Their forthcoming follow-up record, Pirouette, is their first for British independent label Dirty Hit. Lead single Cinderella is a remarkable, teeth-gnashing reintroduction to their sound: a brutalising song about, in part, lead singer Cole Haden's desire to have a Cinderella-themed birthday party when he was five. This is quintessential Model/Actriz, blending manic, menacing grooves with steely-eyed flamboyance and needling openness. The band – Haden, Ruben Radlauer, Aaron Shapiro and Jack Wetmore – formed in 2016, and it's their sense of gay transgression and avowed diva worship, brought to the band by Haden, that separates them from the scores of punk-adjacent rock acts on the rise. Pirouette is punchier, more willing to sink its teeth in, than Dogsbody, and allows for moments of softness too, such as the forlorn spoken-word track Headlights or delicate ballad Acid Rain. It will almost definitely beef up an already killer live show, but if you can't catch it, Model/Actriz still bring immense spectacle to their records. Pirouette is out on 2 May via Dirty Hit. Model/Actriz play Outbreak festival in London and Manchester, 13-15 June
