Stormzy sold out his APE day, no? That's not exactly a small number of tickets.

He didn't pretty sure.

 

Had this discussion a few days ago, only shows to sell out were the first nick cave and strokes shows pre covid

You LITERALLY asked for an example of him headlining an outdoor show. 

 

Something that is bigger and more wide spread that his own home town you troll.

How has it ‘brought down the levels of what the festival were prepared to book to top it?’

 

Well usually headliners play something bigger than Brixton Academy as their own single gig before getting a Glastonbury headline spot. Wireless was a day filled with other bands in his own town and Dj Khaled or J Cole aren't topping Glastonbury are they.

If new people don’t headline then Glastonbury are going to really struggle in a few years when all the oldies have died off.  Coldplay, AM, Radiohead, The Cure aren’t going to keep going forever. 
 

Mumfords, Ed, Stormzy, Sza, Dua (and many more in the past) were given shots, some got bigger and some will probably peek at that but it’s about 1.  Giving the opportunities and 2.  The need to as lots of the bigger acts are doing their own thing nowadays more than ever

Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay

Worth noting Coldplay got their first one because The Strokes pulled out

Arctics you are right about. They had festivals around including Reading in subs spots and they just blew up quicker than anyone. But we are going back 17 years to where thing were a little different. 02 arena was only just built lol
