Matty Healy Celebrates Pre-Wedding Stag Do With The 1975 Tribute Band

Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975, held a stag party in Malibu ahead of his upcoming wedding to model and former Nasty Cherry musician Gabbriette. During the celebration, Healy took the stage to perform alongside “The 9075,” a tribute band dedicated to his group’s catalog, while joined by his bandmates and family.

The Malibu Celebration

The event featured an interactive performance where Healy joined the tribute act to sing “The Sound.” According to social media footage circulating from the event, Healy invited his doppelgänger—a member of the tribute band dressed as him—to perform alongside him.

The guest list included members of The 1975, with George Daniel, Ross McDonald, and Adam Hann all in attendance. In a nod to the frontman, the band members were spotted wearing costumes mimicking Healy’s signature stage looks. The group’s official photographer, Jordan Curtis Hughes, and Healy’s brother, Louis, were also present to mark the occasion.

Engagement and Family Support

Healy and Gabbriette publicly confirmed their engagement during a 2024 performance by Charli XCX. The singer’s mother, broadcaster Denise Welch, later addressed the news publicly, stating she had been aware of the engagement for several weeks before it became public knowledge. “We couldn’t be happier, she is everything that I would want in a daughter-in-law,” Welch told the press.

Future Musical Projects for The 1975

While the band is currently focused on personal milestones, they have confirmed that new music is in development. Healy previously indicated the band is working on two albums, one of which is titled *DOGS*. The title was first teased during the band’s headline set at Glastonbury last year.

Regarding the timeline and scope of the new material, Healy noted, “We made two. It might be one, it might be two… but yeah, we’ve made two albums.”

The band’s manager, Jamie Oborne, has characterized the upcoming record as “pretty extraordinary.” While a release date remains unconfirmed, Oborne emphasized the importance of the band taking their time. “I think they’ve earned the right to take their time,” Oborne stated. “The world’s gonna be listening, so it needs to be right.”

The 1975’s most recent studio album, *Being Funny In A Foreign Language*, was released in 2022. The record received critical acclaim, with *NME* awarding it four stars and noting that it represented the band at their “very best” after a period of experimental output. Outside of his work with the band, Healy recently collaborated with the group Tiny Habits on the single “Anything He Was,” released ahead of their album *Keepers*.
