The 1975 took the OVO Hydro by storm on Thursday night to a sold-out Glasgow crowd, all donned in white shirts and skinny black ties.
The 1975 took to the stage at 8:30pm on the dot, as Matty Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel all entered the Glaswegian colosseum erupting with noise. The show was a visual masterpiece from beginning to end, with the stage set up like the inside of someone’s home - complete with an old-school CRT television set.
Various world leaders were depicted on this small screen throughout the night, with some invoking cheers and others chants of insults.

Matty Healy, the lead singer, was as fantastical as ever, jumping around on stage and chain smoking to his heart's content - complete with a bottle of red wine.
However, this may have looked real, but Healy admitted halfway through the gig that he was actually suffering from illness, and took a mug of Lemsip from a production worker on stage.
Despite the sickness, Matty and his band put on a show for the ages, expertly mixing their newest album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, with all of their best hits all the way back to the early 2010s. The audience even got involved in choosing between two hits - Paris and A Change of Heart.
Calculating the decibel level, the crowd cheered for each song one at a time - but Paris won by a landslide.
Standout parts of the show include Matty standing on the ‘top’ of the house to sing I Like America & America Likes Me, and the crescendo of saxophone solos from band member John Waugh.
Overall, it was a journey of a concert, that took the audience from dancing around like nobody’s watching to holding their friends and partners close at the sadder tunes.
There’s a reason this band keeps coming back with new , exciting music - there’s no stopping The 1975!
