The 1975's Matty Healey said the band would only play festivals going forward if the bills boasted more women and non-binary artists.’s Matty Healey has vowed that going forward the band will add an inclusion rider to any festival contract stating they’ll only play if a certain percentage of the other artists on the bill are women or non-binary.
The singer made the claim on Twitter Wednesday after sliding into a conversation about the overwhelmingly male lineups at this year’s Reading and Leeds festivals in England . While Healy praised booking a newly reunited Rage Against the Machine as a headliner,‘s deputy music editor, Laura Snapes, noted that a band of Rage’s stature could’ve “used their leverage to demand equality on the bill,” then encouraged Healy to do the same.
Take this as me signing this contract – I have agreed to some festivals already that may not adhere to this and I would never let fans down who already have tickets. But from now I will and believe this is how male artist can be true allies ❤️
