Victoria Beckham 'will reunite with the Spice Girls for 30th anniversary show

Victoria Beckham is reportedly ready to perform as Posh Spice and reunite with her Spice Girls bandmates on stage.

It's claimed the iconic girl group are considering a headlining slot at Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage next year.

Posh's bandmates Emma Bunton, 47, Geri Horner, 50, Mel Brown, 48, and Mel Chisholm, 49, have all provisionally agreed to tour dates in 2024.

Mum-of-four Victoria, often reluctant to return to her Spice roots, it thought to be "bringing ideas to the table" ahead of the band's 30th anniversary.

Plans for a one-off documentary featuring never-before-seen footage are also in place, it's been reported.

"For the past few years the Spice Girls have still been operating day-to-day as a four but, for the first time in a long time, Victoria is now chipping in and happy to celebrate a landmark 30 years of girl power," a source has said. They added: "Their schedules are pretty manic so getting them all in one room at any one time is hard. But over the past six months there’s been more contact as a five than at any time since the 2012 Olympics."

The source continued to muse how Victoria's 50th birthday next year falls around the same time as the Spice Girls marking 30 years as a band - quipping "it seems like two ­anniversaries too good to miss." The insider revealed they will be no new music and Victoria is only keen to perform if it is an exciting one-off.

The group have apparently been in talks to perform at Worthy Farm next year and headline Glastonbury - something that would sit well with Victoria's "cool" aesthetic. The girls are also thought to have discussed a possible documentary and are all on board to celebrate 30 years of the Spice Girls in some way.

Mel C sparked rumours of a Spice Girls Glasto set last month, as she performed a solo set at the iconic British festival and teased: "All of the Spice Girls would like to play Glasto, that is the truth. Like I said to the audience, doing a couple of Spice Girls songs, ‘A bit of a warm-up for next year?"

Sporty Spice also admitted earlier this year she and Mel B were 'manifesting' a full reunion alongside Victoria, Emma and Geri - following their last tour as a four-piece in 2019 without Posh on stage with them. Victoria last took the stage with her bandmates for the London 2012 Olympics closing ceremony.

Victoria is sometimes reluctant to return to her singing days, having now established herself in the world of fashion, and even previously admitted her microphone was often muted by producers during some performances on stage with the band. Chatting to Claudia Winkleman at the Vogue 100: A Century of Style exhibition in London in 2016, she said: "They used to turn it off and just let the others sing. I got the last laugh - and now my mic is well and truly on, finally."

Victoria's husband David Beckham delighted fans last year when he shared a video of Posh Spice, 48, belting out a classic Spice Girls song during a karaoke session on holiday. The mum-of-four was seen putting her everything into the performance, even doing the hand movements to Stop Right Now as she wore a slinky skin tight black dress reminiscent of her style throughout her pop star days.

Proud husband David lovingly referred to her as "the one & only Posh Spice" as he shared a snippet of the fashion icon's rendition of her former band's iconic hit single with his 74.4million Instagram followers.
