There's a petition to get them to play. Not sure if this will be discussed in parliament or not.

It's not been set up by a Melanie Brown by any chance?

[gooner1990]

Fuck off Spice Girls 

[Cooter]

Gordon Bennett, talk about trying too hard or what.

In fact I'd much rather watch a couple of episodes of the Telly Tubbies on the Pyramid, doesn't even have to be live, just on the big screens. Imagine the cheers for NooNoo.

102 signatures in 48 hours.

Catching fire this one…

[Suprefan]

I think anyone interested in signing that is currently under water.

Should be ok since Tinky Winky was acquitted for manslaughter...

I've got nothing against Spice Girls. Not my bag, but they're fine, and I wouldn't object to them playing the Legend spot. I'd likely be elsewhere, but you never know.

What I object to is the line-up being decided by online petitions, likely signed by people who won't actually be going. Even if this got 100,000 signatures, it should be ignored. Because the next thing is BTS headlining...

A whole five extra people have added signatures in the last ten hours.

This shit is going viral. The people are speaking!!

[eFestivals]

I'd think Little Mix are more likely first as being bit more relevant, and current.

I saw it shared twice on Twitter (before I did), both from blokes posting almost exclusively about The Spice Girls and one of them was the fella who started the petition. No mention from either they were going to Glastonbury. I was tempted to ask but thought it best not to engage for fear of a mega fan onslaught.

Nicely played. You can’t be too careful with Twitter’s baying mobs. 

[Hugh Jass]

Looks like most of the signatories are outside the UK anyway.

Absolutely nothing to see or worry about here.

[The Nal]

The idea of it is probably a good idea or some people but them singing/miming away to 2 Become 1, Goodbye and Mama in front of 80k is weak tea.  

Who Do You think You Are a good tune for the security tiktok dance BBC highlights though.

As others have said, stick them on in the Sunday afternoon and I'm sure they would go down a storm.

I'd be perfectly happy elsewhere.

Always a bit disquieting when this thread is resurrected from the depths of hell, where it belongs 

[Hugh Jass]

Looks like they’ll be back on tour again soon.

Don’t think there’s any real danger to us but it’ll almost certainly mean a lot of tabloid speculation and Mel B desperately trying to make something happen.

I wonder if a few years of Mel basically begging to play will turn Emily’s hand if Glasto just want a gigantic divisive act.

I’m sure they’ll go down an absolute storm as a Sunday afternoon act three or four years from now.

They’ll never headline outright, but a legends performance would be pretty big.

[kingbadger]

Stick em on the Pymild 3rd down on the Friday and you wouldn't get any complaints from me. Could claim (tenuously) 3 legend slots then with Aerosmith and Diana Ross the following 2 days.
