Will the Spice Girls play Glastonbury?

There have been growing rumours that the Spice Girls may be planning to perform at next year’s Glastonbury Festival.

Mel C addressed the rumours on Heart Breakfast on Wednesday 28 September during an interview to talk about her upcoming book “Who I Am: My Story” which documents her journey with depression and an eating disorder whilst being a member of the band.

Reflecting on her novel Mel C said: “I’ve had some tough times and I think I was always scared.

“It took me until 2019 being back on stage with the girls to reflect differently to acknowledge I have an incredible story.

“So much has been written about myself and the other girls. To put it in your own words is really nice, it’s my version of the truth.”

Questions soon turned to rumours that the band, including Victoria Beckham who turned down their 2019 reunion tour, are gearing up to perform on Glastonbury’s iconic Pyramid Stage.

Heart host Amanda Holden asked Mel C if the rumours were, the singer replied: “Glastonbury, I wish, there’s no plans at the moment but let’s all collectively manifest it”.

Adding: “Let’s make this happen, let’s manifest spice girls at Glasto.”
