Spice Girls Fans Complain Of Sound Issues Again At Second Stadium Gig In Cardiff

"Really disappointed as I couldn't hear a word."
LOADINGERROR LOADING

The Spice Girls’ stadium tour arrived in Cardiff on Monday for the second night of the group’s 13-date stadium tour, but some fans were left disappointed because of apparent issues with the sound.

Some ticket holders took to social media to complain that they could not hear the music properly from inside Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

The same complaints were made following the band’s debut gig in Dublin on Friday night, which Mel B acknowledged on Instagram the following day, saying she hoped the sound would be “much better” in Cardiff.

However, it seems there were still issues for some fans, with many pointing out that the same problems didn’t affect support act Jess Glynne:

@spicegirls you don’t ever come to Cardiff and rip off people again. You should publicly apologise, and reimburse the fans who were affected by the sound issues. It was lazy and fraudulent not to fix the sound issues after the gig in Ireland went so badly.

Apologise now!

So disappointed in the Spice Girls last night at Cardiff. Sound was abysmal. Couldn’t hear a word they were singing or talking, Mel C was the clearest! Jess Glynn however sang like a dream very clear. #SpiceWorldCardiff #spicegirlscardiff #SpiceGirlsReunion

@spicegirls it was a shame that you still had not fixed the sound at your Cardiff gig tonight. Couldn’t hear half of it!

Spice girls gig at Cardiff principality stadium last night, the sound was atrocious and could not hear what they were singing, very strange as Jess Glynne was the supporting singer, and her sound and vocals were amazing, you could hear everything she sang perfect.

Watching @spicegirls last night in Cardiff was my 10 year old selfs dream come true. Although I was soaked & freezing I sang and danced my heart out. Those in charge of sound need to improve. You couldn’t hear a word when they were talking #spicegirlstour pic.twitter.com/oamXl3NBeI

However, not all of the group’s fans agreed, with many tweeting that they didn’t experience any issues...

I have seen footage from last nights #SpiceWorld2019 in #Cardiff and I could hear the @spicegirls perfectly I guess it is the crowds singing that drowns them out in parts, if this is the case sound checks from all directions are needed by engineers, before main shows

All depends on where you’re sat by the sounds of it (no pun intended).

Sound issues aside, the group’s reunion shows have been a huge hit. Backed by a huge production, the 23-song setlist features all nine of their number 1 singles, as well as a few surprises.

Scary, Baby, Ginger and Sporty have six costume changes each - and there are nods to some of their most famous looks, including Geri’s iconic Union Jack dress.

They are set to perform another 11 sold-out stadium shows across the UK over the coming weeks, culminating in three sold-out nights at London’s Wembley Stadium next month.
