Glastonbury was considered to be the pinnacle of someone’s career. Headlining Glastonbury secured your place as one of the most influential artists of the current generation. And finally, in 2025, The 1975 had been asked to headline. Matty was over the moon, but also, quite terrified.

This was exposure to the public, on a scale that he had never experienced. People who weren’t familiar with The 1975, who weren’t loyal fans, were about to witness him on stage, with his best friends, and hear his work.

Matty runs a hand through his brown curls, fluffing them up a little, as he stares at the mirror. His brown eyes trace over his features, as he tries to contemplate the magnitude of the situation he now finds himself in, and somehow, it still hasn’t quite sunk in yet.
