Mel B surprised fans by joining Mel C on stage in Leeds on May 2 for 'Spice Up Your Life,' their first shared performance since the Spice Girls' 2019 tour. The moment occurred during Mel C's 'Sweat Release Parties' tour.
At Project House in Leeds, former Spice Girls Mel B (a local native) and Mel C reunited for the group's 1997 hit 'Spice Up Your Life' amid a brief microphone glitch. Mel C called the surprise 'special,' noting it was their first onstage pairing since the band's 2019 reunion tour finale. The performance promotes Mel C's ninth solo album 'Sweat,' released May 1.
This follows Mel C's recent radio interview expressing hopes for a full Spice Girls reunion—ideally at Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage—saying she is 'manifesting' it and that all five members 'want to do something,' though no 2026 anniversary plans are confirmed. Footage of the Leeds duet has gone viral online. The last full-group show was the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony, with a partial 'Stop' surprise at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday in 2024. Beckham recently teased speculation by posting 'Tempting' from an Oasis concert, tagging her bandmates.
