I’ll be honest the Spice Girls for legends would be dangerous levels of overcrowding.  I wonder if that’s something that would actually stop it

Nah. Would be Kylie / Dolly levels for sure - but just because a crowd is big it doesn't mean its dangerous.

Exactly. Kylie crowd was the biggest I’ve ever been in and at no point did it feel unsafe. 

 

[FloorFiller]

The crowd trying to get in to TLC this year felt more unsafe to me than any legend/Pyramid crowd. The Pyramid field is made to accommodate those kinds of crowds, so whilst it can get kind of shitty and long trying to get in/out, unsafe it is not.

[stuie]

Yeah, it’s probably the only field in the world that can handle the biggest artists safely but if that were to ever happen it should have some stiff competition elsewhere to ease it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Too lazy to do it myself, but dedicated Roxy Music thread required to filter it away from folk still focused on the Spice Girls.

yes, i think its a great booking, that shouldn't get diro crazy. 

My mock-up setlist was a bit off, but it doesn't look a bad reunion run so far? (Double-post, apologies.)

 It would also damage Roxy Music as people would compare the reception to the two.

 

I wouldn't have thought that there is much cross-over between the fan-bases or that Roxy Music are especially bothered about what a Spice Girls audience might think. They have their own audience and will do their own thing.

Agreed, Spice Girls being on the bill and not in the legend slot would raise a few eyebrows. It would also damage Roxy Music as people would compare the reception to the two.

They aren’t there. I’m surprised Mel C also can’t be trusted, as it was Mel C this time spinning that they were a possibility.

My guess - Posh backed out and they don’t think it’s worth it.

Mel C can't be trusted because she says it every year iirc?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Mel C said 'we'd love to do it'. Standard boilerplate response. Doesn't make her a liar.

That's Mel B that says it every year. As far as I can tell Mel C only started saying about it after appearing this year, but I could be wrong.

Not exactly the same but last line of the caption on this Instagram post - could easily just be her again rather than the whole group though.

thats not saying spice girls its saying with blossoms,.

[CaledonianGonzo]

There's an article in the Daily Mail if you Google Mel C Glastonbury.

But as above its all vague "it would be great" type platitudes rather than anything definitive 

[Livvy13]

There's this article as well. 

https://www.stylist.co.uk/entertainment/podcasts/spice-girls-glastonbury-rumours/538674

Again nothing definitive just saying that they'd love to do it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Basically, anyone going around telling folk they were nailed on (or similar) was doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Spice Girls would be packed for sure, but there would still be plenty of people who didn't fancy it. Think they'd be pretty divisive in that people would either be "definitely yes!" or "definitely not!".

Would also imagine a pretty big exodus if it didn't start well.

Be interesting to see how people would respond if they came out and did the full "90s girl power" schtick as well.

Yeah, these are my thoughts. They were fairly grating to a lot of ppl in a way DiRo, Dolly, and Kylie weren't.

Here's another Mel C comment from 2021...

And another...

And one from 2020...

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Mel C would love to play Glasto, of course she would. She's been irrelevant for 20 years.

I'm glad they're not the Legend for next year (if I get tickets), although they'll prob do it one year.

Unless, they're going to sub-Elton on the Sunday.

Any thoughts/possibility of Sparks playing the Legends slot?

Too weird and not enough hits for The Legends Slot™ itself, but they're still amazing live and would be decent warmup beforehand.
