Rumour has it, the Spice Girls will be headlining Glastonbury 2023.
The pop band burst onto the music scene almost three decades ago, forming in 1994 and going on to achieve worldwide success.
Consisting of Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown (Mel B), Melanie Chisholm (Mel C), Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell, the group became one of the most successful girl groups of all time, selling millions of albums and even bagging their own movie.
The group first split in 2000, leaving fans heartbroken, but they reunited in 2019 for a UK and Ireland tour, without fashion designer Victoria.
However, reports say the rest of the girls are keen for her to join them for a set at Worthy Farm next year.
Victoria last performed with the band in 2012 at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, but music industry sources claim a performance at Glasto next year is in ‘advanced’ talks, with or without her.

According to Mail Online, an insider said: ‘The negotiations are ongoing but they have reached a stage where things are really looking likely, with or without Victoria.’
They added: ‘The Spice Girls are not a band to typically perform at Glastonbury but they are legendary and it will be so much fun.’
Victoria’s husband David Beckham is no stranger to the muddy festival, and the couple even celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary there in 2019, so it seems the door isn’t fully closed on the possibility of VB donning her wellies once more and getting on stage.

In fact, Mel C – known as Sporty Spice – supposedly srongly hinted at her book launch at London’s Ivy Club last week that Victoria would not turn down the opportunity to perform on the famous Pyramid stage.
This isn’t the first time Mel has voiced her excitement over a potential Spice Girls reunion on the Glastonbury stage, previously sharing that she had a ‘good feeling’ bandmate Victoria would join them.
She said: ‘It’s the dream, the absolute dream, we would love to do it [play Glasto].

‘The girls and I, we have chatted about it, it’s the biggest stage in the world, we have the best festival in the world right here…’
When asked if Posh Spice would be there too, she exclaimed: ‘I have a good feeling [she would]’.
Reps for the Spice Girls and Glastonbury have been contacted for comment.
