It would be the pinnacle

Mel C has shared her continuing hopes for a Spice Girls reunion, saying that she is “manifesting” the group coming together for a slot at Glastonbury.

The singer (aka Sporty Spice) spoke about her thoughts towards a comeback during a new interview with former publicist Nicki Chapman on Magic Radio, as she is gearing up to release the new solo album, ‘Sweat’.

In the conversation, she opened up about the long-running rumours of a Spice Girls reunion and discussed why she thinks there is still such demand from fans for her, Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Geri Halliwell-Horner and Emma Bunton to regroup again.

“There’s something about the dynamic of the Spice Girls – when we’re in a room together it’s electric. It still happens to this day… there is something magical about those five personalities,” she said.

She also added that while she previously found it “really hard” to be in the public eye at the height of their fame and tried to distance herself from the group, she started to love “all these things” again when the group came together (without Beckham) for a 2019 reunion tour.

As a result, she added, she has kept her mind open for another reunion with the complete line-up, and already decided that Glastonbury would be the best way to mark the occasion.

“Glastonbury would be the pinnacle, it’s a bucket list,” she explained. “Spice Girls, Pyramid Stage – I like to think that will happen at some point. I’m very strongly manifesting that it will happen.”

‘Sweat’ comes out tomorrow (Friday May 1) via Virgin Music Group.

Mel C joined Blossoms on stage at Glastonbury 2022, where they delivered a joint rendition of ‘Spice Up Your Life’. She also played a DJ set of Spice Girls classics and Britpop tunes at that year’s festival, before returning to play a solo gig at Worthy Farm in 2023. The following year, she made a surprise appearance during Orbital’s Glasto slot.

There have been a lot of comments from the Spice Girls members about a reunion in recent years, with each of them seemingly taking a hot-and-cold approach to the idea.

Mel C, for the most part, has been up for a comeback and also said recently that all the members “want to do something”, but have not planned anything for their upcoming 30th anniversary.

The last time all five members performed together publicly was at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012, although they also gave a surprise performance of ‘Stop’ at Posh’s 50th birthday party in 2024.

In 2025, Sporty Spice said again that she was “optimistic” that the iconic girl group would reunite, and Beckham added fuel to the fire by sharing her “tempting” desire to do a Spice Girls stadium tour after attending Oasis’ mighty comeback tour.

Before then, Halliwell-Horner teased that “there will be something” with Beckham in the fold in the future. “My hope is we come back together as a collective. It’s more respectful to come as one,” she said, also revealing that all five members shared a group chat.

Mel B, however, seems to have gone back on her comments saying that she was “always game” when it came to hitting the road with the group again – recently sharing that she was certain a reunion is “not happening”, and that if it was possible, it would already be taking place.

There have also been mutterings about the ‘Viva Forever’ stars playing at Glastonbury circulating for a while now, with Sporty Spice sharing that they would be a “belting headliner” for the Worthy Farm festival, and Mel B (Scary Spice) hinting to fans in 2024 that it could come to fruition.

The latter was later shut down by Geri Halliwell-Horner (Ginger Spice), who confirmed that a 2024 appearance at the site was off the cards.
