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.

Starting? Hope they're not sodding around with Golden Circle.

So according to a reliable leaker Foo Fighters are planning a South American tour in the second half of 2025, I wouldn't rule them out completely now.

I dont mind Charli but the thought of watching a headliner auto tune their way through a set doesnt appeal tbh.

Was it? thought it was quite quiet - lots waiting from gerry into LG

Would sound better than Liam Gallagher!!
