Future Sound Asia (FSA), the organisers of Good Vibes Festival 2023 (GVF2023) has issued Letters of Claim to the band The 1975 (the Band) demanding that the Band acknowledge their liability and compensate FSA for damages incurred.
The Band’s failure to do so will result in FSA pursuing legal proceedings in the Courts of England.
In a press release shared to WORLD OF BUZZ, FSA shared that they would like to reiterate their strong disapproval of the Band’s behaviour during their performance at GVF2023.
In particular, lead singer Matthew Timothy Healy’s use of abusive language, equipment damage, and indecent stage behaviour not only flagrantly breached local guidelines and Malaysian laws but also tarnished the reputation of the 10-year-old festival.
“The Band’s actions intentionally contravened the agreement they had with FSA for their performance at GVF2023. This breach led to the festival’s cancellation, resulting in significant financial losses for FSA and negatively impacting local artists and businesses that depended on the festival’s success—affecting the livelihoods of many Malaysians.”
“FSA deeply values the trust that fans and regulatory authorities have placed in them over the years. The organisation remains unwavering in its commitment to fostering vibrant live music experiences in Malaysia, ensuring full compliance with local laws and regulations,” they shared.
