The 1975 are facing a lawsuit from the promoters of Good Vibes Festival in Malaysia over an incident where band members kissed on stage, leading to the cancellation of the festival. The band claims they were unaware this act would result in the festival being canceled and argue they did not break any obligations as international artists. This incident follows a history of the band advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and has resulted in them being banned from performing in Malaysia. Despite the ongoing legal challenges, the festival organizers expressed a desire to move beyond this incident.
