Matt Healy has never been shy about airing his feelings in the past, and that goes for his thoughts on politics, too.

The 1975 frontman made a number of comments about the result of the UK general election during his set at Manchester's Parklife festival, calling on Prime Minister Theresa May to resign and renouncing her plans to form a coalition with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party. “Theresa May needs to resign,” he said. “She needs to stop squatting in Number 10 with a coalition that sounds like an STI."

He added: “I don’t want DUP.”

The band also paid tribute to the 22 people who died at the Manchester Arena last month. “I think we’ve all spent a lot of time mourning since what happened - but this is a music festival and we’ve had our silence," said Healy. "We didn’t want to do a moment of silence, we wanted to do a moment of noise.”

The 1975 play Dublin's Malahide Castle this coming Saturday, June 17th.
