‘90s Girl Band ‘Trying' To Make Plans for 30th Anniversary Tour

Mel C has revealed that The Spice Girls are still "trying" to find a way to celebrate the band's 30th anniversary this year.

Fans had hoped that the group would reunite this year to celebrate three decades since the release of their debut single 'Wannabe', but it looks like they may be waiting longer.

"We are trying to find something we all agree is fitting of the legacy we have created, but that also everyone is comfortable with," Mel told The Telegraph newspaper recently. There were rumors of a tour to celebrate three decades together, but it has since been shot down.

When asked if there was any hint of a reunion coming this year, Mel was cagey about responding. "I see what you're doing there! It's very difficult for me to speak on behalf of all of the Spice Girls."

"All I can say is, I feel very positive that there will be something great that the Spice Girls do at some point, but I don't know when," the singer added.

The last time Mel C, Geri Horner, Emma Bunton, Melanie B and Victoria Beckham performed together was at the London 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony. They performed a series of shows without Victoria in 2019. In recent years, they have supported each other at events and celebrated birthdays, but it's rare to see all five together in a room. According to Women's Weekly, they were last seen together in January 2026, where the group, minus Mel B, celebrated Emma's 50th birthday.

Mel B has been a lot more negative about the idea of reuniting, telling HELLO!, "I can tell you that it's not happening. If it does, it'll be a shock to me, let's put it that way. When I look at that (tour) and at the feeling it gave me, I was in my element, but there comes a time... I'm 50. You can't be nagging everyone to go on tour if they don't want to. I laid that to rest when I turned 50."

When asked if she would want to reunite if the others did, Mel B was also unsure. "I've got a lot of respect and love for those girls. I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for me being part of the Spice Girls. They've done a lot for me as a person and in my life. I've got fond memories, but I don't know if I would want to go back up on stage."
