Matty Healy reveals The 1975 are set to replace Lewis Capaldi at Reading & Leeds 2023

While performing at TRNSMT festival on Sunday (July 9), Matty Healy revealed that the band will be replacing Lewis Capaldi, who had to pull out of all upcoming shows in order to focus on his physical and mental well being. The 1975 will also be performing their 2013 self-titled debut album in its entirety to mark its tenth anniversary.

Asking the crowd to record this moment as he doesn't have social media, and isn't planning to post about it online, Healy said: “So, on Saturday at Reading and Sunday at Leeds in celebration of ten years of our debut album, The 1975 will be playing that album in full in support of our good friend Lewis Capaldi. If you’ve got tickets, good for you. If you haven’t, try and get them. We’ll see you there.”

The 1975 notably headlined last year’s edition of the festival alongside Arctic Monkeys, Megan Thee Stallion, Dave, Bring Me The Horizon and Halsey.
