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.

Yeah like The Strokes did Lytham didn't they? It's not a massive gig in capacity or anything but they went where money was.

Yeah, straight on the patch. We haven't seen prices on it yet though.

Apparently starting from £60 according to a Google. So presumably something in the £65-75 range with fees.

No less than say Biffy

 

Fair one. Biffy did draw a healthy looking crowd in 2021 before Liam Gallagher tbf.

I know they did All Points East twice. Their 2019 set was decent, if hindered by the sound system being shite.
