SJP is not able to stage large gigs due to access issues getting onto the pitch. In addition, there is a lack of parking outside for the 30-40 trucks that are used to carry the equipment.

Sheeran last year only required a small stage and hence why they could host the gigs.

With the exception of Kings of Leon, the big gigs above took place pre-redevelopment of SJP. There is access issues getting onto the pitch since the redevelopment and the big shows can’t take place.

For Sheeran, just like for Rod Stewart, the stage was put in the corner which restricts attendance. It also means the stage is much smaller.

For KoL it was put on the side of the pitch, but it again resulted in a smaller capacity and is unsuitable for big take that style shows.

They all problems parking the 40 trucks which are required for the big shows.
 
I’m not convinced demand would be there for spice girls , will see ...

Anyway - whose the other gig ?
 
Madonna? Wishful thinking

Lady Gaga? After the success of that film n that.

Ariana Grande? One for the bairns.

Little Mix? They do have a Greatest Hits our next year, allegedly.
