The 1975 take Glasgow by storm as Matty Healy declares 'Scotland should be independent'

Manchester pop-rock band The 1975 returned to Glasgow at the OVO Hydro on Thursday night for the first time since 2019 for their sold-out tour with thousands of screaming fans.Once the curtain donned with the band's name dropped, fans saw the split level 1970s style living room before the band came on stage one by one.

Seven members of the group's touring band enter the front door one by one, hang up their jackets and switch on lamps before getting into their places.The first half of the show consisted of a meta high art performance from the band, as once the musicians are on stage, we see Matty Healy shake himself awake from the couch centre stage.Taking on the role of the tortured musician, Matty quickly lights a cigarette and takes swigs from a bottle of red wine before taking his seat at the piano to belt out hits from their new album Being Funny in a Foreign Language.The 1975: At Their Very Best tour has been a social media sensation over the last few weeks, as viral moments of Matty Healy checking fans ID's before kissing them and sucking thumbs have been shared on TikTok.

After bringing special guest Taylor Swift out at their London show, the band has a lot to live up to at the remaining gigs on the tour.Once the clapperboard with 'Glasgow' was used on camera to pause the performance, Matty, 33, spoke directly to the crowd and admitted he was 'struggling'.

The star noted he was sick and laid blame on 'too many kisses and thumbs' before chugging a Lemsip and getting back to the performance.The frontman continued, swaying around with wine and cigarettes in hand making note of how the set 'wasn't real'.
