I re-read it and saw that r.e. simz but didn't bother changing it sorry. Clearly neither name is currently there yet - i disagree Little Simz has done more also - she's still never had a song properly break out / make charts. Stormzy had and at least had some name recognition with people who don't go to gigs regularly etc. I really don't think Little Simz has much name recognition at all still - her Pyramid set was good though i'll give her that and the festival are clearly keen to push her, but for now she's capping out at the pyramid sub slot (which is already pretty big given her sales etc)
Its clearly from someone reading this forum a lot or the other place (edit: as stuie says above)
Its better than any summary i've posted i'll give you that! ... or anyone else for that matter).
There are clear inaccuracies already in it though
Not sure i'd compare them
Cure are well up for smaller gigs, weird venues etc. Also play non festival shows regular - strokes hardly ever do (roundhouse in 2020 the only remotely recent one here)
Strokes visit the UK for a festival headline slot payday (or two) every few years while they aren't scrapping with eachother.
Your right on the first bit though - no way are they main headliner now.
