The Sugababes' performance at Glastonbury 2024 was a highly anticipated event, but placing them on the West Holts stage was a poor decision.

It was an unexpected must-see for everyone with a ticket, which quickly turned into a chaotic situation.

Signs near the stage warned latecomers to stay away due to overcrowding, and there were unverified reports of people fainting in the crowd.

This chaos was pointless and easily avoidable.

Despite their current lack of chart success or creativity, the Sugababes still hold a special place for many attendees due to their nostalgia, hit songs, and brand recognition.

On stage, the band appeared to be having a great time, and it was heartwarming to see them smile.

In the early 2000s, they were known as the grumpiest girl band in pop, with a reputation for being moody teenagers.

Nearly 25 years since their debut 'Overload' and after numerous lineup changes, they performed with the joy of women who have survived over two decades in the music industry.

The show featured a lot of synchronized strutting and member-specific spotlighting, with each Sugababe (Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Siobhan Donaghy) taking turns at the center of the stage.

Their performance of 'Freak Like Me,' a mash-up of Adina Howard's 1995 song and Gary Numan's 'Are Friends Electric?', was a highlight.

The late-era hit 'Red Dress' was a surprise favorite, with the trio's vocals blending beautifully with the electric guitar.

Classics like 'Overload' and 'Push the Button' sent the crowd into a frenzy, and 'Round Round' was transformed into a rock number with drums and thunderous bass guitar.

Although many of the tracks that received the most cheers didn't originally feature Donaghy, and Buena was gone by the time they scored one of their biggest hits with 'About You Now,' the Sugababes' brand remains powerful.

Former members Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah, and Jade Ewen all had their place in the band, but there's something undeniably special about seeing Buchanan and Buena harmonize together again.

Donaghy also lived up to her potential, which was cut short during the band's early days due to internal conflicts and teenage hormones.

The looks on their faces showed that they knew this was a special show, even if the crowd had to suffer for it.
