The 1975 have stepped into the breach to replace Lewis Capaldi in his headline slots at the Leeds and Reading Festivals. The Wilmslow lads, who are good friends with Capaldi, announced the news to their fans late last night, while on stage at the TRNSMT Festival in the Scottish singer’s hometown of Glasgow.
“Hey, film this, because I’m not going to do an Instagram post, I’m not on the social media,” lead singer Matt Healy told the crowd. “On Saturday at Reading and Sunday in Leeds, in celebration of 10 years of our debut album [Self-Titled], The 1975 will be playing that album in full in support of our good friend Lewis Capaldi.
“So if you’ve got tickets, good for you, if you haven’t try and get them. And we’ll see you there.”
