People under 24 were not alive in the 90s.

They'd do huge numbers. Dolly-esque numbers. Just not Elton numbers. Elton was a very, very weird one-off. A huge legacy act that had recently had a number of top ten singles.

I think Sugababes x 10 is probably but I think that was about 7000.

Spice Girls would be top-ten audience, I reckon.

It's a tricky one.

Cos on paper I would largely agree that they would draw a ginormocrowd.

But then I look at the individual crowds that Wellend 1 and Wellend 2 got when they played individually which were nothing extraordinary and wonder whether the pair of them combined offers anything significantly different or more attractive. And I'm not sure it does.

I think it does, people have been clamouring for an Oasis reunion since they broke up. Whilst ostensibly there’s little different between Liam/Noel shows and Oasis ones, to many, many people it would be huge.

They’d get a big crowd without doubt, but the only way they do Reg numbers is if Glasto is the very first reunion show.

Of course people clamouring for their return are either too young to remember or have simply forgotten that Oasis (especially in their later years) were absolutely awful live.

Along with having a awful catalogue of songs and being annoying gits.

No idea how they ever made it.

Wouldn’t get too many rocking up to see Mel C or Geri on their own either to be fair. All about the collective.

I think it’s the only thing that could run it close.

The thing Reg also had in his favour though was what A. He was the most relevant he’d ever been and B. It was (supposed to be) his last gig.

A proper “I was there moment”.

I’m not sure any headliner could ever get near Elton, too much choice elsewhere to draw focus.

Its why I think a mega act on during the day would get closer.

Yeah reading that back, I wasn’t clear.

An Oasis reform is the only thing left that could even have a chance of getting close. They’d probably do Macca levels. 

Spice Girls is the only act with a real chance of matching Reg. 

Although it all gets hard to judge past a certain point. 

Reg is the biggest crowd I’ve been in for sure. 

Kylie probably second.

Reg, The Stones and Dolly are the biggest I’ve been in I’d guess.

If Spice Girls ever do it, it'll be all 5. Posh is all over getting together to do something, she loves it. But it just has to fit around her schedules and she's very family-first. Now Harper is growing up, I feel it's getting to that time when she's gonna be more and more tempted... 🥳🤞🏼

Yeah, definitely not the Spice Girls without that fifth harmony

So cool. 

Wonder why they’ve never used drone footage until this point. 

banned i think? i asked about doing it once and was told they wouldn't permit it.

flying remote controlled things over crowds is a bad idea cos no one can be sure they'll stay in the air! (i've got a remote control helicopter [that i know gets used by some folk for filming stuff] that could take someone's head off)
