Dire Straits appearing in Cairo, Lichtenstein and Monaco, among others (7)
I have - - T - S - S for sure, and the first letter is probably A. ARTISTS? Fits the meaning, but I can’t figure those place names at all!
Thank you, Lie-in King. I was using ARTISTS as in musical artists (assuming that Dire Straits was a band). This other is tricky, but so much better! I knew Roy Lichtenstein, of course, but the other two were new to me. RB.
