00:00 You look a bit like Matt Healy.
00:02 Thank you. I'll take that.
00:04 Someone has said that to me in the past.
00:06 So I'll take that. Here to see the 1975.
00:08 I mean, you're a bit early.
00:10 A bit early. A little bit.
00:12 I mean, not really. Not too...
00:14 We're almost at the 24 hour point.
00:16 Once one fan arrives, everyone just starts panicking.
00:18 Everyone floods.
00:20 Why do you want to come so early?
00:22 Get front row. Get barrier.
00:24 To get up close.
00:26 Not that it matters for my height.
00:28 I don't know where I am. I can see.
00:30 Just to be with everyone.
00:32 It's the community as well.
00:34 We've got friends from all around the world.
00:36 We convene for this. We don't convene for other stuff.
00:38 Where did you all come from today?
00:40 I've come from Oxford.
00:42 Southwest London at 8 o'clock this morning.
00:44 Did you know each other before?
00:46 Not before the band.
00:48 Pretty much everyone here is met through the band.
00:50 We've got...
00:52 Like Posi said, Americans have come over.
00:56 There were people from the Philippines last tour.
01:00 Italy.
01:02 What is it about the 1975 then that gets you so excited?
01:08 I think for me they're really authentic artists.
01:10 So I really like their...
01:12 I really like what they produce.
01:14 You could talk to some of the people and they'd be like,
01:16 "Oh, I love Maddie!"
01:18 For me it's not about that.
01:20 It's about the songs and the meanings.
01:22 And what the band is saying.
01:24 Their production is beautiful.
01:26 Pretty much the same for me.
01:28 Maddie puts a bit of an act on nowadays.
01:30 But back in the day he was really like...
01:32 He loves the word "earnest".
01:34 I'm going to use his word "earnest".
01:36 About everything he says.
01:38 His sentiments about things.
01:40 Which still stand.
01:42 But he just likes to put a bit more of a ridiculous act on now.
01:44 A bit of a goofy act.
01:46 He is a big showman.
01:48 But I think if you look at all the great bands,
01:50 they have a great showman.
01:52 Or showwoman.
01:54 Or showperson.
01:56 Are you going to all tours?
01:58 I'm not.
02:00 You're going to most.
02:02 How much did that cost you?
02:04 I don't want to think about cost.
02:06 This tour, one of the shows will be my 40th show.
02:08 I think by the end of this tour I'll have seen them 43 times.
02:10 So I don't like to think about price.
02:12 I don't want to review how many times I've seen them
02:14 and how much that set me back.
02:16 I think it's a good thing.
02:18 I think it's a good thing.
02:20 I haven't been to nearly as many.
02:22 I've been to about half as many as you have.
02:24 But I think the thing is,
02:26 we can choose to spend money on buying things and stuff and objects.
02:28 Or you can spend money on experiences and friendship and making memories.
02:30 And for me, I don't think you can put a price on that.
02:32 And for me, I don't think you can put a price on that.
02:34 And for me, I don't think you can put a price on that.
02:36 memories and for me I don't think you can put a price on that.
