Because they’re not big enough acts? Or the vibes not right?

So people more along the lines of:

• Bonnie Tyler
• Michael Bolton
• Eurythmics
• Simple Minds
• Duran Duran 
• Tears For Fears
• The Human League 
• a-ha

What? I’m lost.

Stevie Nicks in Chicago the week before, so you’d presume she’s out. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ot doesn't rule her out bit doesn't lend much weight either.  Shows she's active with a show ready to go, I suppose.

I'd say the opposite.

Previously she didn't have anything scheduled past early March. This doesn't mean she's "in", but it means we now know for certain she's active in the right timeframe and with plenty enough time to travel.

Just screams “first announcement of greater US tour” to me, I guess we’ll see

There almost certainly will be other dates.

But looking at the Billy Joel + Stevie Nicks dates from last year, they did a load of individual shows often weeks apart rather than a concentrated tour.

Double Legend slot!!

That would be quite a result.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Slaphead is an exclusive for Cardiff stadium.

Got it!

it's not a band slot

It's still not a band slot

Think I'm ready to apply for a job at GCHQ now I've cracked the code.

Only suitable act from that list?

And even then, a stretch.

A lot of those would go down well at Glastonbury, but don't think any are legends material, even if the slot was to get a rethink on the back of Cat Stevens.

One for 2025

"...and then Emily said 'No.'"

I'm aware of the 'that's not a conversation we're having' - but I interpreted that as being about negotiations not happening at that point, not a subtextual 'we wouldn't book them anyway'.  If Spice and the lads made themselves available to do the Legend there's no way the festival would knock it back.

[Hugh Jass II]

Spice Girls feels like something that just needs to happen now so we can all move on from it.

[Hugh Jass II]

Preparing a Neil Patrick Harris from Dr Who costume as we speak....

[Quark]

Best thing about Spice Girls doing Glastonbury would be the Twitter meltdowns from people not getting tickets and/or claiming they're headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

I can even recycle the hooded leapard print cloak I've got for Shania into a figure-hugging Scary Spice bodysuit 

[Hugh Jass II]

Spice Girls on a Sunday afternoon would do ridiculous numbers in terms of crowd. Bigger even than Dolly or Lionel.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It'll be f**king carnage - and I mean that in a good way.

[Hugh Jass II]

It'll even get close to Reg numbers I'd dare say.
