Lawyer takes up case pro bono to help artistes, vendors sue The 1975


PETALING JAYA: Lawyer Mathew Thomas Philip is working with a group of lawyers on a class action by local artists and vendors against the British band The 1975.

"We are putting our hearts and minds to improving the first working draft of the class action," said Mathew in a post on his Facebook account on Sunday (July 23).

"If there is any further information that you may possess and which may have a bearing on the suit against The 1975 such as the location of their assets, please contact our pro-bono team," he added.

The 1975’s concert at the Good Vibes Festival 2023 on Friday (July 21) was stopped abruptly after lead singer Matty Healy kissed bassist Ross MacDonald, leading to the organiser pulling the plug on the band's act.

The indecent act has led to a total ban of The 1975 performing in the country and the organisers have been forced to refund the tickets after the Communications and Digital Ministry cancelled the rest of the festival which was supposed to end today.
