Police complete probe papers on The 1975’s behaviour at Good Vibes

Selangor police chief says they will still hold organisers responsible for Matty Healy’s onstage kiss

KUALA LUMPUR – The Selangor police have completed the investigation papers on the controversial British band The 1975 over the fiasco that led to the cancellation of the Good Vibes Festival (GVF).

State police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the authorities have recorded statements from 28 individuals over the event that was held at Sepang International Circuit last month.

Among them are an individual from organiser Future Sounds Asia (FSA), 10 from the Central Agency for Application for Filming and Performance by Foreign Artistes (Puspal), and 17 complainants.

“Basically, we have completed the investigation, but we could not take a statement from the group (The 1975 band members as they had left the country). However, we will still hold the organisers responsible (for the incident).

“We will see how the prosecutor will respond to the investigation,” he said during a press conference at the state police headquarters today.

The 1975 frontman Matty Healy’s performance on the first day of the three-day event on July 21 triggered an uproar after he openly criticised the government over laws affecting the LGBTQ community.

Visibly drunk during his lambasting of the Malaysian government, Healy then shared a kiss with his male bass player, Ross MacDonald, on stage.

During the set, Healy was also seen spitting at the audience and damaging equipment, including the drone used to record the event. 

The band was also forced to cut their set short for failing to comply with conditions set by the government.

Following the incident, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil ordered the immediate cancellation of GVF 2023. – August 10, 2023
