Speculations surrounding the iconic girl-group have been circulating for months, and with 2024 marking three decades since their initial formation, fans have been calling for a special Pyramid Stage reunion. The hypothetical performance would see the group return to the stage for the first time since 2019, when four out of five members – Mel C, Mel B, Emma Bunton and Horner – last toured together.

Check out “Who Do You Think You Are” from the 2019 tour:

Now, in an interview with The Sunday Times, Horner has dismissed these claims as untrue, insisting that plans for any kind of appearance at the world-famous UK festival are not on the cards. The singer did, however, provide Spice Girl hopefuls with some consolation, teasing that “at some point there will be something”. 

Rumours regarding a 2024 reunion gained momentum earlier this year after a report by The Sun claimed the members were in talks to reform for a surprise performance on the main stage at Glastonbury. A source allegedly told the tabloid: 

“Victoria will be 50 next year, and the girls turning 30 seems like two ­anniversaries too good to miss. The group have been in talks to headline Glastonbury and this would sit with Victoria’s ‘cool’ aesthetic. All five are on board to mark 30 years in some way, shape or form. It’s very exciting.”

A proper reunion, of course, wouldn’t be complete without Victoria Beckham, a.k.a. Posh Spice, who last performed with the Spice Girls at the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012. The fashionista continues to carve herself a prodigious career as a successful businesswomen and has always maintained that she is too busy to find time for her old pop group.

Check out the Spice Girls 2012 Olympics performance:

In 2022, upon being inquired about the possibility of returning, Beckham explained: 

“I had so much fun being in the Spice Girls. But I think that now, with everything else that I’ve got going on with my fashion, and my beauty line, four children, I couldn’t commit to that.”

Earlier this year, however, Mel B hinted to The Sun that, even despite Beckham’s busy schedule, a reunion could be imminent: 

“We’re just finishing off perfecting what we’re going to be doing together, all five of us, but it’s going to be something that the fans are really going to love. Obviously she’s [Victoria] got a bunch of kids so it’s just about finding the right time and we’ve managed to do that so there should be an announcement pretty soon.”

It seems Spice Girl fans will just have to wait and see. In the meantime, watch Victoria Beckham’s recent karaoke performance of the group’s stone cold classic “Say You’ll Be There” below:

According to an insider, “The four girls have been discussing a world tour for a while, and this – very confidential – meeting was put in the diary so they could iron out the final details.” Apparently, the plan is to start off in Australia and go from there. The talks come about just as the Spice Girls are celebrating the 25^th anniversary of their debut single, “Wannabe”, back in 1996, which became number one in 37 countries, as well as their debut album, Spice, which sold over 23 million copies. Other ways the girls have gone about celebrating the anniversary include releasing a deluxe reissue of their debut album last October, along with a new video for their single “Wannabe”.

Mel B had this to say about the anniversary: “All I hope – 25 years on – is that message has been heard loud and clear. It’s true that in the end love IS all you need so I thank everyone who has ever bought a Spice Girls record or stood in the rain to greet us or got dressed up in pink, in a tracksuit, a ginger wig, a leopard print catsuit or put on Vic’s iconic pout!”

Release day is here! #Spice25 is out now. A celebration of our debut album ‘Spice’. We had such a great time listening to the old demos and putting this together. We hope it brings back some amazing memories for you, just as it did for us https://t.co/6A1C9xXLMq pic.twitter.com/jPqJtflVv4

The hype seems to be growing for a new tour, with singer Adele reportedly promising to be there and encouraging them to get back on the road. The Spice Girls last performed together with the Spice World tour of 2019, which made £4 million between them all. However, it’s been a long time since the original quintet was all there, with Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) last joining them in their 2007-2008 The Return of the Spice Girls tour. Ever since then she’s been absent, focussing on her family and fashion business.

In commenting on her decision to step back from the last tour, Victoria told Vogue Germany that “It took me a lot of courage not to go on tour with the Spice Girls again, but to be the one who says, ‘You know, I’m not doing it because things feel different now than they used to’… I’d rather concentrate on my family and my company’.” Beckham also reportedly turned down an offer to help with a new online Spice Girls game being made.

Despite this, Mel C and Mel B are reportedly determined to get Beckham to appear in at least one show, with Mel C saying “We would love to have her back on stage. In all honesty, I think it’s gonna happen. At some point, I think Posh Spice will be back on stage“.  So we shall have to wait and see whether the allure of a 25^th anniversary and worldwide tour will finally be enough to bring all the Spice Girls together again, just for one more shot at girl power.

Little Mix also released the accompanying video to Holiday on Friday 24th July. Posting to their official YouTube channel, Little Mix gifted a mermaid-themed lyric video to their 13.7m YouTube subscribers. With a whopping 654,000 views and 9,000 comments already, the lyric video is already widely popular within Little Mix’s extensive fanbase. 

An up-tempo, energetic track, the sunny, poppy Holiday has all the qualities to be another chart favourite by Little Mix. The first two verses of Holiday are led by Jesy and Leigh-Anne singing solos, demonstrating brilliantly their individual vocal prowesses. Jesy and Leigh-Anne sing sultry lyrics like “When it’s cold, you pull me closer/So hot, it’s like the middle of July” and “I’ve been looking for the feeling, looking all my life” making the track both romantic and empowering. 

Jade and Perrie lead the catchy chorus with “We’re just dancing the night away/Boy, you feel like a holiday”, the playful comparisons between boys and vacations in Holiday make the single sizzle with Girl Power. Famed for their strong vocals, Holiday blends the four singers’ powerful yet distinctly different voices together with ease. 

In wake of their latest release, the Shoutout To My Ex singers also posted a sweet compilation video of fans’ reactions to Holiday on their Instagram account yesterday. Gaining over 119,000 views, the video featured hilarious fan receptions to the new single, the funny clip being met with a delighted reaction from fans. Jesy Nelson posted a glamourous photo on her personal Instagram account to promote the single, captioning the post “Happy Holiday release day!”, which has already gathered over 200,000 likes.

Girl group Little Mix consists of members Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirwall and Jesy Nelson. Formed in 2011, Little Mix came together through the X Factor after auditioning as solo singers. Not only are they the first group to win X-Factor, Little Mix are also the show’s most globally successful artists.

Since their X Factor victory nearly ten years ago, Little Mix have released five hugely successful albums. Following their debut album DNA (2012) came Salute (2013), Get Weird (2015) Glory Days (2017), and LM5 (2018), all peaking within the Top 10 charts of ten countries, including the UK and the USA. Rumoured to be titled LM6, Little Mix’s sixth studio album will arrive in 2021, coinciding with the group’s 10 year anniversary. Speaking with The Sun recently, Jesy Nelson relayed that “It doesn’t feel like ten years. Well, it does and it doesn’t. It’s crazy.” When asked about celebrating the band’s important milestone, Nelson added that “Whether it be A Night With Little Mix where we do a big show or a special ten-year tour…we’d definitely like to do something!” 

Holiday is out now.
