Ticket touts


In 2016, Josh Franceschi began to criticise the way that tickets are re-sold for extortionate prices as there were consequences for both musicians and fans. He, along with a variety of other musicians came together under the Fan Fair Alliance to tackle the touts. Franceschi spoke against the rising issue along with Ian McAndrew and Annabella Coldrick in Parliament; many MPs backed the argument, agreeing that something must be done.


Personal life


Josh Franceschi is vegan. The band all organised a pop-up vegan kebab shop at the release of their album VI.[4] He is an Arsenal fan.[5] In 2021 Franceschi tweeted that he is the cousin of McFly bassist Dougie Poynter.[6]
