Labour came in for some flack when it organised a one-day pop festival in June.
Critics rejoiced when tickets for the Labour Live event, in White Hart Lane Park, North London, were slow to sell.
But thousands of people turned up on the day.
And they not only enjoyed the music, but took part in some serious political debate.
It remains to be seen whether Labour plans to run a second music festival.
However, one thing鈥檚 for sure. If it does take place then the Spice Girls won鈥檛 be invited to perform.
Baby, Ginger, Scary and Sporty are going back on tour, although Posh Spice has decided to stay at home.
And Labour Chair Ian Lavery has made it clear they won鈥檛 be welcome at the festival affectionately known as JezFest - because they might be Tories.
It was back in 1996 that the Spice Girls expressed their admiration of Margaret Thatcher, but left-wingers haven鈥檛 forgotten it.
Also on the ban list is former Oasis star Noel Gallagher, who last year proclaimed: 鈥淔**k Jeremy Corbyn. He鈥檚 a Communist.鈥
Like the Spice Girls, he came under fire from the author of a Twitter account called Rachel_Swindon, who sent Mr Lavery a message saying: 鈥淪hould LabourLive 2 happen (ideally in the Midlands this time), please don鈥檛 book the Spice Girls, even if they offer to pay you.
鈥淎dd Noel 鈥楾oryboy Capitalist Gobshite鈥 Gallagher to the same list. All the best x.鈥
Mr Lavery responded: 鈥淭hanks for the message R!. NO Spice Girls and NO Noel G!!. Never ever ever ever!!!鈥
For good measure he also added an emoji of a face screaming in fear.
There鈥檚 nothing new about politics and pop music crossing paths.
And while there鈥檚 a tradition of radical left-wing politics in the music industry, there have also been a few right-wingers.
Here are some notable examples of pop stars dipping their toes into politics:
Clean Bandit
The electronic music act, known for hits such as Rather Be and Rockabye, topped the bill at LabourLive. They were a late addition to the line-up, and gave the event some added star power that may have helped ticket sales.
The Magic Numbers
This London-based pop rock band were due to headline JezFest until Clean Bandit signed up. They鈥檝e enjoyed success with albums such as The Magic Numbers and Those the Brokes.
In 2010 they walked off Top of the Pops after host Richard Bacon apparently insulted their physiques, calling them 鈥渁 big fat melting pot of talent鈥.
The Spice Girls
Their mantra is 鈥淕irl Power鈥, so perhaps it shouldn鈥檛 come as a shock that the Spice Girls have some sympathy with Britain鈥檚 first female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.
But surely nobody expected the level of devotion they showed to Maggie when interviewed by right-wing magazine The Spectator, in 1996.
Ginger Spice Gerri Halliwell declared: 鈥淲e Spice Girls are true Thatcherites. Thatcher was the first Spice Girl, the pioneer of our ideology 鈥 Girl Power.鈥
Cheryl
Cheryl, born and raised in Newcastle, also made her name in a girl band, Girls Aloud. But she takes a very different approach to the Spice Girls.
She said in 2015: 鈥淲e鈥檝e always been Labour in our family, it just feels wrong not to be. Better the devil you know.鈥
Noel Gallagher
In 1997 former Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher attended a high-profile party in 10 Downing Street hosted by Tony Blair, and was pictured deep in conversation with the then-Prime Minister.
It was the highlight of the 鈥淐ool Britannia鈥 movement, a remarkably successful effort by Labour spin doctors to associate the 海角视频鈥檚 youngish Prime Minister with a new wave of British bands led by the likes of Oasis and Blur.
But Mr Gallagher is no fan of the current Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn - and claimed he would reform Oasis in order to stop 鈥渢hat lunatic running the country鈥 (it鈥檚 not clear how reforming Oasis would achieve this).
Mr Gallagher also said: 鈥淔**k Jeremy Corbyn. He鈥檚 a Communist鈥.
But he isn鈥檛 particularly nice about Conservatives either. He said earlier this year: 鈥淧oliticians? They鈥檙e f**king idiots.鈥
Chumbawamba
Anarchist punk band Chumbawamba probably deserve more credit than anyone for killing off Cool Britannia, after they dunked a bucket of cold water over Labour Deputy Leader John Prescott at a televised awards ceremony in 1998.
Drummer Danbert Nobacon was held by police - though swiftly released - after running over to the table where Lord Prescott sat with record company executives and throwing a bucket of ice cold water over him.
Earlier, the band had sung about New Labour betraying the miners, which demonstrates that if there鈥檚 one thing a certain type of left-winger hates more than a Tory government it鈥檚 a Labour government.
Morrissey
Morrissey kept his political views to himself as singer with The Smiths in the 1980s, when the indie band was hugely influential and popular.
But with his ambiguous sexuality and proud Northern roots, fans may have assumed he was vaguely on the left.
It came as a bit of a shock when he emerged as a fan of former 海角视频IP leader Nigel Farage - and then backed the anti-Islam 鈥淔or Britain鈥 party.
Morrissey said his support was a result of their stance on animal welfare, but this seems largely to have meant their opposition to Halal meat.
Gary Barlow
Take Take songwriter Gary Barlow emerged as a Tory supporter when he joined David Cameron on the campaign in the 2010 general election.
Paul Weller
Less keen on Mr Cameron was Jam singer Paul Weller, who was bemused when the former Tory Prime Minister revealed one of his favourite songs was the Jam鈥檚 Eton Rifles.
The song apparently recounts a battle between marchers protesting against unemployment, and pupils from Eton who had been jeering them.
Mr Cameron is a former Eton pupil himself.
In 2015, Mr Weller said: 鈥淚 just think, 鈥榃hich bit didn鈥檛 you get?鈥.鈥
Tony Hadley
Spandau Ballet鈥檚 Tony Hadley is a Conservative who spoke at the Tory conference in 2007.
According to reports from the time he warned: 鈥淭he fabric of society is torn,鈥
Robert Smith from The Cure
Smash Hits ran a feature in 1987 asking stars how they were voting and it makes for fascinating reading today.
Most of the respondents backed Labour but Robert Smith declared his support for the SDP, a breakaway party from Labour that eventually merged with the Liberals to form the Liberal Democrats.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a dreadful thing but I like [SDP leader] Dr David Owen,鈥 he said.
George Michael was torn between the SDP and Labour, while Boy George backed the Ecology Party, a forerunner of today鈥檚 Green Party.
Billy Bragg
Folk-singer Billy Bragg was a leading figure in Red Wedge, a group of artists that backed Labour in the 1980s.
It organised pro-Labour concerts featuring Mr Bragg alongside artists such Paul Weller鈥檚 band The Style Council, The Communards, Madness and even The Smiths, suggesting Morrissey had yet to develop his far-right tendencies.
Mr Bragg is once again a vocal Labour supporter, making the case for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn on Twitter.
