Mel C has raised hopes that the Spice Girls could be set to play Glastonbury next year, saying the whole band want to perform at the Somerset festival.
The singer, 49, performed at the festival last weekend, taking to the Avalon Stage on Saturday night with a mix of her own hits and some classic Spice Girls songs.
In an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music’s Matt Everitt, she was asked whether the Spice Girls would accept an offer to play the Sunday teatime legends slot, and told him "all of the Spice Girls would like to play Glasto, that is the truth", the BBC reports.

She continued: “Like I said to the audience (on Saturday night), doing a couple of Spice Girls songs, ‘a bit of a warm-up for next year?’ They’re rehearsed, they know the words, they’re ready.
“So, if I can drag the other girls along… I say ‘drag’ the other girls along – all of the Spice Girls would like to play Glasto, that is the truth. It’s just getting it together, the timing being right.”
The pop star, also known by her nickname Sporty Spice, added: “And it’s quite daunting, some of the girls haven’t been up on stage for years. But I think it’s, we call it (playing Glastonbury) the bucket list, because as an artist it really is the ultimate.”
In a separate interview talking to Huw Stephens and Arielle Free, on the BBC’s iPlayer channel, Mel C said of the band doing Glastonbury: “There are certain members of the band, most of them, who would jump at the chance. We would love to do it, the thing is when we do it – do you like that?”

In 2019, the beloved girl band of Mel B, Geri Halliwell, Mel C, and Emma Bunton, and minus Victoria Beckham, got back together for a string of tour dates across the UK and Ireland. It was the first time the Spice Girls had performed together since the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony.
If they were to play in the legends slot they would be following in the footsteps of this year’s performer, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, and other prolific music names like Dolly Parton, Kylie Minogue and Dame Shirley Bassey.
