This sledgehammer missed the target


UP until a few days ago, I had never heard of the UK band called The 1975. And I would have remained in ignorant bliss if not for the huge controversy stemming from their shocking behaviour during their performance at the Good Vibes Festival.

By now, most Malaysians would know what the band did and the really bad vibes it created. But here’s a quick recap for those who are still in the dark: The 10th anniversary edition of the three-day music festival in Sepang International Circuit started on July 21 and The 1975 was the closing act on the first night.
