The 1975 are a band at the top of their game and Wednesday’s jam packed and emphatic gig in Newcastle was living proof of just that.
All too often a band dis written off by some music snobs, the lads keep evolving their sound and their shows, making them extremely hard to pigeon hole. Maybe that’s the reason why some critics just don’t ‘get’ them or even attempt to do so.
Their well over two hour show at the Utilita Arena was like a piece of theatre, soundtracked by an eclectic and ecstatic cacophony of music that held a captive audience in its grip.
