The fans did not fail to disappoint with their outfits and signs. Many people were dressed in the classic 2014 Tumblr era fashion, which I’d tried to do too! Others were dressed in the style of ‘Robbers.’ My favourite outfits were the unhinged t-shirts—I saw people in shirts which read “lol ur not Matty Healy” and another saying “I hate Matty Healy.” Denise Welch, Matty Healy’s mum, was in the audience which was lovely to see. One sign paid homage to this, with “Denise Nutz” on a ripped up piece of paper. Other signs were asking for one of Matty’s famous mid-concert kisses. The fans really knew how to create a funny environment. The 1975 at Brighton Centre 8.1.23 (pic Jordan Curtis Hughes)
