Rumours are swirling that one of Britain's most iconic pop groups, the Spice Girls, could be planning a full-scale reunion for their 30th anniversary in 2026. For the first time in years, speculation is mounting that all five original members, including the notoriously reluctant Victoria Beckham, may join forces once more.
The Posh Spice Puzzle: Is Victoria Beckham Finally On Board?
Victoria Beckham, now 51, has historically been the member most resistant to reuniting with the group. She famously skipped the lucrative 2019 reunion tour to focus on her family and her globally successful fashion empire. Regarding that decision, she told Vogue Germany, "It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again. I'd rather concentrate on my family and my company."
However, a recent viral moment has set the rumour mill into overdrive. Earlier this month, Beckham released an acoustic video of herself singing the Spice Girls' classic 'Viva Forever' with her 20-year-old son, Cruz, accompanying her on guitar. The performance received widespread praise online and, crucially, prompted a telling comment from bandmate Melanie C: "Love this. Getting a head start on rehearsals."
Official Talks Are Underway, Confirms Mel C
The reunion is not merely fan speculation. Melanie C has publicly confirmed that discussions are actively happening. Appearing on Good Morning America, she stated, "I remain optimistic. It's our thirtieth anniversary next year. We're talking and seeing what opportunities are out there."
She also highlighted the enduring appeal of the group, noting their multi-generational fanbase. "We're just so proud of the legacy that we have, and we have fans now from new generations who are just loving the Spice Girls, so I would like to get back on stage with the girls," she added, while also cautioning that the group wants to ensure any project is "the right thing."
Further fuel was added to the fire when Victoria Beckham attended the historic Oasis reunion at Wembley Stadium. She shared a clip of her husband David enjoying the concert and tagged her former bandmates with a caption that sent fans into a frenzy: "Tempting…"
A History of Reunions and Lucrative Tours
The Spice Girls have a history of successful comebacks. After Geri Halliwell's initial departure in 1998, the original five members reunited in 2007 for the 'Return of the Spice Girls' tour, playing to sold-out arenas worldwide.
They came together again in 2012 for a show-stopping performance at the London Olympics closing ceremony. Their most recent UK tour in 2019 featured four members—Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, Geri Horner, and Melanie C—and was a massive commercial success, grossing an estimated £55 million from sold-out shows including dates at Wembley Stadium.
With the monumental success of other recent reunions, like Oasis, and the undeniable power of their Girl Power brand, a 30th-anniversary celebration featuring all five Spice Girls would undoubtedly be one of the biggest entertainment events of 2026.
