A Spice Girls star surprised fans when hitting the stage with electronic music legends Orbital at Glastonbury.

On Saturday night, the 90s duo performed on the Park Stage, where they welcomed a very special guest.

Towards the end of the set, Mel C joined them to perform Spicy, which samples tracks from the Spice Girls’ discography, including their hit song Wannabe.

Wearing a white tracksuit and light up glasses, the singer put on an energetic performance, delighting fans, some who called it ‘epic’ and ‘iconic’.

Another said she was ‘the best surprise guest of the entire festival’.

Meanwhile X user Ama posted: ‘Orbital at Glasto. Oh how I wish I was there for that! Tilda Swinton and Mel C were super cool surprises. I’ll be buying torch glasses right after this tweet is done. Supreme, ol’ ravers.’

This marked the third time in a row Mel C has delighted fans at the long-running music festival with a surprise appearance.

Orbital, which consists of brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll, were also joined by Tilda Swinton on stage, who opened their set with a speech.

Wearing a long white dress and light up specs, she said the following to kick off the performance of their song Deeper: ‘Focus on a spot and when that spot has your full and complete attention, take a deep breath / let it out and close your eyes.’

This year marked the seventh time Orbital has performed at Worthy Farm.

After releasing their first single Chime in 1989, their self-titled debut album was released in 1991, but it was their headline appearance at Glastonbury three years later that saw them take off.

Their latest album, Optical Delusion, was released last year.
