Experts explain the issues that could be behind the negative comments about the group's comeback.
Sound quality may not have been the top priority for the Spice Girls, says Robb Allan, a veteran sound engineer who mixes concerts for bands like Massive Attack and Radiohead.
Allan points out that the Spice Girls have a particular problem because they spend a large proportion of the show on walkways in the middle of the crowd - putting them in front of the speakers. Dublin's Croke Park and Cardiff's Principality Stadium, which were the first two stops on the Spice Girls' tour,"are notoriously horrible for sound", says stage designer Willie Williams, who is best known for his work with U2.The problems with playing music in sports stadiums are well known, agrees Scott Willsallen, an Emmy Award-winning sound designer who has worked on multiple Olympic and Commonwealth Games ceremonies.
