Dig out yourSpice Girls merch and get practising your girl power, because Mel B has dropped another hint that the fivesome could be returning to the stage sooner than we think.
Mel B recently shared a picture of the Spice Girls mural at Wembley Stadium over on her Instagram. The mural shows Mel B with Geri Halliwell, Mel Chisholm, and Emma Bunton posing alongside a rogue Harry Styles. Victoria Beckham is missing from the mural as it's based off the band's 2019 reunion tour, which Posh Spice didn't take part in.
Adding a teasing caption to the snap, Mel wrote, 'Wembley?? I'll say no more 👀🤫😅'
Naturally, Mel's post sent fans into a frenzy as many debated whether the girl group were finally making a comeback. One commented, 'Really hope this is a sign of a Spice Girls concert at Wembley Stadium in 2024-2025,' as another added, I'm already on Ticketmaster.'
And not forgetting the 'Watermelon Sugar' singer's cheeky appearance, another asked, 'Harry Styles supporting?'
It's not the first time Mel B has hinted that the former girlband were working on reunion plans. While promoting her memoir Brutally Honest earlier this year, Mel revealed on Loose Women, 'We are definitely doing something [to celebrate our 30th anniversary]... I'm probably going to get told off but I've said it, there we go! We are doing something this year.'
It comes after Victoria Beckham also appeared to drop some clues last year, putting on her Posh Spice shoes for a karaoke night. Sharing a video of her singing the Spice Girls classic Say You'll Be There, the singer-turned-fashion designer captioned her post 'Warming up the vocals in Miami! More to come,’ followed by a hushing emoji, a musical note, and a microphone.
The official Instagram account for the 90s girl group – made up of Mel B, Mel C, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Victoria – also shared the video with the caption ‘Once a Spice Girl, always a Spice Girl.’ Talk about cryptic...
Are the Spice Girls headlining Glastonbury 2024?
Last year, rumours swirled that the girlband were planning to reunite at iconic festival Glastonbury to celebrate their 30th anniversary.
During a solo set at last year's Glastonbury, Mel C revealed to fans that the girl group would accept an offer to play the now traditional Sunday afternoon ‘legends’ slot if asked. She said, ‘All of the Spice Girls would like to play Glasto, that is the truth. Like I said to the audience [when] doing a couple of Spice Girls songs, “a bit of a warm-up for next year?”'
‘We call playing Glastonbury the bucket list, because as an artist it really is the ultimate.’
The rumours were nothing new. In fact, it was first reported in 2022 that Posh was desperate to set foot on the festival’s stage. Talking on Keith Lemon’s podcast at the time, Emma revealed that the star - who didn't take part in the band's 2019 reunion tour - would join in, saying, 'I have spoken to Victoria about it too, and I think she'd be up for Glasto.'
However, it turns out the rumours were simply not true. Glastonbury has now announced its headline acts for this year's 2024 festival line up, with Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA named. It's also not the Spice Girls down to play the Legends slot on Sunday afternoon, with the honour instead falling to country icon Shania Twain.
With Glasto off the cards, there's certainly some scope for an appearance at Wembley. Either way, we’re keeping our fingers crossed for some more girl power in our lives!
