Outside Lands headliner The 1975 fined $2.6M for statements in favor of LGBTQ rights

When The 1975 take the stage at Outside Lands on Sunday night, they’ll be just hours away from a deadline to pay $2.6 million to Future Sound of Asia, the promoters of the Good Vibes festival in Malaysia.

“Unfortunately you don’t get a set of loads of uplifting songs because I’m f—king furious,” Healy said. “And that’s not fair on you, because you’re not representative of your government. Because you’re young people, and I’m sure a lot of you are gay and progressive and cool.”
