Despite this, the assurance was ignored, and the band’s actions also clearly contravened the contract with FSA, which led to the cancellation of the festival and caused significant losses to FSA,” said Matthew to the Malay Mail.The 1975 were banned from Malaysia mid-performance at Day 1 of Good Vibes Festival on July 21.
