British band The 1975 has reportedly cancelled their upcoming performance at Jakarta’s We The Fest festival tonight as well as their remaining Asian tour shows in Taipei.

The band had earlier come under heavy scrutiny in Malaysia after its frontman Matty Healy angrily criticised Malaysia’s law against LGBTs and kissed his male bandmate onstage at the Good Vibes Festival (GVF) in Sepang on Friday.

“The 1975 regrets to announce that their forthcoming shows in Jakarta and Taiper will no longer be going ahead as planned.

“The band never took the decision to cancel a show lightly and had been eagerly looking forward to playing for fans in Jakarta and Taipei but unfortunately, due to current circumstances, it is impossible to proceed with the scheduled shows,” read the official announcement, which was posted on We The Fest’s Instagram page today.

During The 1975’s performance at GVF on Friday, Healy angrily said he had made a mistake in coming to a country that is “telling us who we can have sex with” because he didn’t check when the band made the concert booking in Malaysia.

He then proceeded to kiss his male bandmate Ross MacDonald while on stage.

He was also seen drinking from a bottle believed to contain an alcoholic beverage during the incident, while netizens alleged that he spat onstage and damaged a camera drone operated by the festival crew.

Festival organisers cut short the band’s performance soon afterwards, citing the band’s failure to honour a promise to observe local performance guidelines.

Healy later came back onstage to announce that the band has just been “banned from Kuala Lumpur”.

The next day, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil announced the rest of the festival will be cancelled after he met with the organiser Future Sound Asia.

The police have since launched an investigation into the incident involving the band’s performance.
