He may look like a startled Ann Widdecombe these days (surely an argument for ditching the ditching the look he had as a young man at 60?), but still sounds fan  bloody tastic.

The Cure owned Glasto.

Stormzy did well, I grant you but there was something jarring about a grime artist performing in front a load of middle class white folk - the whole thing didn't seem very authentic.

Not sure what was worse. Fat old goth doing old dad music or Stormzy shouting over a backing track whist thousands of people who don;t really like music w**k off about how great it all is. 

 

I have always loved the cure and it was an epic performance but actually from an objective point of view I agree, not sure how relevant they are now to anyone under 40 save for the odd emo.

Possibly relevant that 30 years after they were hits people still know and can sing cure tracks.

Will the same be true in even 5 years for stormzy? I couldn’t even tell you one of his songs.
