MATTY Healy was called out by a handful of Glastonbury fans for fronting The 1975's headline slot armed with a pint and a cigarette.
The Sound hitmaker arrived on The Pyramid stage clutching a Guinness and a fag – complete with a pack of smokes which he lit up through the set – in a rockstar move that irked some BBC viewers watching at home.
The Cheshire-born frontman, 38, is known for his quirky on-stage presence, with his sharp suit, smooth moves and a signature travelator delighting many loyal fans of the Sound hitmakers.
Lead singer Matty often appears on-stage with a glass of wine – yet some viewers watching the band's first Worthy Farm headline stint from their sofas might not have been aware of his stage habit.
The 1975 – who are currently on a pause from touring with Glasto their only 2025 show – rattled through a series of their hits including Chocolate, I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes), Somebody Else and a rousing finale of About You.
Yet despite the stellar hits and a mission to promote "love and friendship" some fans were less than impressed.
One took to X to argue: "@1975 you should be ashamed of your lead singer! My 14 year daughter loves your music but the state of your lead singer took the decision of us not allowing her to watch you perform!
"Drunk and smoking on stage is totally unacceptable in this era!"
Another then wrote: "Please put down the pint glass."
One posted: "He's got a lovely voice but put the cig down Matty."
Others were impressed with the first headline act on the Pyramid Stage for 2025.
They put: "Absolutely incredibly awesome, fantastic set."
Another mused: "I wasnt familiar with them, at the start I thought omg he's going to pass out and run the show or something, by the end I thought, wow, they deserved that slot, impressive, they know what they are doing!! Might have to give them a listen now, very much enjoyed!":
A third then put: "On stage with a pint of Guinness in one hand, a cigarette in the other and getting on a travelator at the front of the stage is pure gold."
