I went to Sporty 40 and it was a cool night.

Posted by: vibe 12th September 2023, 01:52 PM

So excited for this and its at Koko which means no matter where you are you will see her because the stage is so high.

Posted by: Equinox8 12th September 2023, 03:16 PM

*Envisioning that fabulous picture of her on the promo poster as the photo of her behind one of the SPICE letters for a future release*.

Manifest it, bitches. It's our only hope at this point. dance.gif

Posted by: Blond 2.0 12th September 2023, 11:57 PM

I hope the new album will be out by now

Posted by: -Jay- 13th September 2023, 02:57 PM

Very nice! I can't go but I'll look forward to all the footage cheer.gif

According to https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/melanie-c-tickets/artist/712360, general sale goes live on Friday at 10 am BST.

Posted by: Joshnat192 13th September 2023, 05:13 PM

Why she didn’t book a bigger venue? I want to get tickets but I’m not sure if it would be possible cry.gif

Posted by: ThePensmith 13th September 2023, 05:15 PM

I managed to get a ticket in the pre-sale this morning. Not been to Koko in years so this should be fun!

Posted by: vibe 13th September 2023, 05:39 PM

Not sure how she is going to make a setlist !! Will be so hard!!

I hope her and her team film it like Sportys 40!

Posted by: JosephStyles 13th September 2023, 08:47 PM

My link didn't arrive until hours after it had sold out. Never seen a more poorly handled presale...!!!

Posted by: vibe 14th September 2023, 11:43 AM

^ It always happens even for artists like Madonna and Kylie.

Posted by: JosephStyles 14th September 2023, 03:43 PM

I sign up for a load of presales and 99% of the time the link arrives in advance with no problem

Posted by: vibe 14th September 2023, 04:32 PM

You post in the Kylie forum remember the vegas issues ! It happens.

As a Madonna fan also faces issues with presales throughout the years!

Posted by: Voodoo 15th September 2023, 01:40 PM

Sold out in a heartbeat! ohmy.gif


Posted by: ___∆___ 15th September 2023, 01:58 PM

Tried for tickets but they were gone immediately - seems the majority went in the pre-sale.

Posted by: Joshnat192 15th September 2023, 06:32 PM

I can’t believe I didn’t get the tickets, anybody knows a safe place to get them in the resales? ����. Also I don’t get why she booked such a small venue, looks like a lot of people is missing the tickets.

Posted by: JosephStyles 16th September 2023, 09:30 AM

^ keep an eye on Twickets for resale, that's the only one I'd trust

I never claimed it didn't, just that I (in my own experience) have never received the presale link hours after it sold out...

Anyway, I got a ticket in the general sale cheer.gif

Posted by: -Jay- 16th September 2023, 09:52 AM

Well done to those of you who got tickets heart.gif and commiserations to those who didn’t cry.gif

Posted by: dancinqueen 17th September 2023, 10:30 AM

Hopefully she sugababes and perform a new song.
No more covers, please.

Posted by: sammy01 17th September 2023, 03:12 PM

She certainly has enough material/spice girls songs to not have any covers.

The only acceptable cover would be would be 'I'm so excited' as a nod to where it all started.

That’s a great idea.
I’d also love a Mel B duet: Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves!
Emma: Too Much


Posted by: Blond 2.0 19th September 2023, 01:38 AM

I'd love Geri to be there and sing with her and not just Emma

Hopefully some interesting duets and guests too. Hope whoever is going has a great time.

Posted by: vibe 10th January 2024, 07:21 AM

Lots of rumours that Tom Grennan will be there!

Posted by: ThePensmith 11th January 2024, 07:00 PM

Can't believe it's tomorrow. Quite excited actually! Just trying to remember where I put my T-Shirt from the live show she did in lockdown...

On the train down to London now! Someone at work told me that they know Ricky Wilson’s family and they said he is going to be at the show tonight. Performing possibly?

Yes. He performed When You're Gone with her.

Some clips from the gig:



Posted by: spiceboy 13th January 2024, 09:20 AM

It was a great show just a bit too spice heavy for me. Loved viva forever but could have done without the rest and had some more Melanie C songs. Was great to see some older stuff not performed for a while like Why, Reason, Home, Beautiful intentions, Gaga and Weak though!!!!🥰

Posted by: vibe 13th January 2024, 11:58 AM

The gig was epic but this venue is not the one !!!

Posted by: Mr.X 13th January 2024, 12:30 PM

Oh wow Viva Forever, Who Do You Think You Are and 2 Become 1 with Emma and also the All Saints girls and Sink The Pink. GAY RIGHTS!!

Plus, my favourite Mel song, HOME being performed. Sounds like a great gig!!

Posted by: Matttttt 13th January 2024, 10:55 PM

We got our reunion! lmao








Phoenix also DJ’d before Mel’s set!

OMG i arrived during the DJ set , just learning now it was Phoenix !!

Posted by: Mr.X 14th January 2024, 11:45 AM

Does anyone have a good link to good video recordings? Id like to see the guests sections and some of the solo stuff too

I don't know why she didn't go all out and book 1 night at somewhere like the Royal Albert Hall. With all the international fans flocking over she could have sold it out I'm sure.

Loads of people missed out on tickets and the venue is a piss poor one, she and the night deserved better.

I agree with this, somewhere with seats so everyone could see, honestly I’m too old to be standing all night, especially on top toes, my back was f***ed the next day!

Posted by: Mr.X 14th January 2024, 03:51 PM

Guess the Spice fans are old now lol tongue.gif

It's a CLUB venue, a pretty important and 'cool' one at that, that also hosts gigs. But yes clearly she went for 'cool' when she could have gone a bit bigger, though in a normal venue she wouldnt have been able to do the after party and DJs into 3am, just her gig.

She wanted a party not just a normal gig, clearly. It's her birthday at the end of the day

Posted by: ThePensmith 14th January 2024, 08:05 PM

Overall it was a good night - still living for the performances of "Viva Forever" and "2 Become 1" she did with Emma and Nat and Nic Appleton, and to hear some solo deep cuts like "Reason", "Home" and "Ga Ga" in particular. I did used to go to KOKO quite a bit back in the day because they used to film The Album Chart Show for T4 there and it was enjoyable back then.

Maybe it's because I'm not in my early twenties anymore but I'm not sure it's the same venue for me now. I get that it was Mel's choice of venue but that doesn't necessarily mean it was the right choice. Especially when you're somewhere near the back like I was (I'm 6 ft 3 so could still get a decentish view when I wasn't being shoved) and trying to hear what she's saying over pissed up Ellas dressed as Sporty Spice who are heckling David Arnold for not being Emma Bunton (I came close to telling them to not be so bloody rude, but thought better of it).

Posted by: vibe 14th January 2024, 08:18 PM

The royal albert hall does not suit the type of show that Melanie puts on so im pleased it was not there !!

I loved the fantastic reaction to HICA & Reason!!
The people standing around me did not know the songs from Beautiful Intentions.

Be interesting to see what venues she selects for the upcoming tour.


Posted by: vibe 14th January 2024, 08:34 PM

Posted by: spiceboy 14th January 2024, 10:40 PM

So personally I loved the setlist but would have preferred to have Think about it and Anymore over two of the Spice tracks and Who I am rather than Overload.

I would have gone:
Northern Star
Here I Am / Weak
In & Out Of Love
Never Be The Same Again

Next Best Superstar
Beautiful Intentions
Goin Down / Gaga
Version Of Me / Why

Home
When Youre Gone with Ricky Wilson
Here It Comes Again
Reason

Viva Forever with Emma
Who Fo You Think You Are (with All Saints, Sink Pink, Phoenix Chi and all the rest)
Think about it
Anymore

Blame It On Me
Who I am
Into you
I Turn To You

That would have been close to perfection for me.

Posted by: vibe 15th January 2024, 06:49 AM

I also thought Anymore and Think A bout It would return to the setlist!

I guess she is saving them for an eventual greatest hit set !!

She has always mentioned leaving the audience wanting more.

Posted by: Babyboy 15th January 2024, 08:02 AM

Sporty Forty was better in my opinion from the location to the set list...

Posted by: Mr.X 16th January 2024, 10:21 PM

The videos look like it was a great fun gig!! Well done Mel!!

Also, realised that Mel now sings 'There's a man in Timbaktu' in Spice Up Your Life instead of that awful lyric in the original. Good for her, I hope they adopt it
