Bathed in blistering white light, frontman Matty Healy came out swinging, clutching a pint of Guinness with a cigarette permanently affixed above his ear – a near-caricature of the gloomy, near-grungy rock star he started out as with the band's 2013 self-titled LP.

The 1975 emerged from hibernation to headline Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Friday, playing their only date of the year, and their first since March 2024. If they were rusty, it didn't show. The band delivered a slick, crowd-pleasing show, full of streamlined hits and delightfully wonky stage banter.

The 1975 are set to play the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury on Friday, June 27, with the set expected to start no earlier than 10:15 p.m. BST in the UK. That makes it a 5:15 p.m. ET or 2:15 p.m. PT start in the US and Canada, while for music fans in Australia the show is set to get underway at 7:15 a.m. AEST on Saturday morning.
