Sunderland will host the four-piece on June 6, 2019 at the Stadium of Light, as part of their huge comeback stadium tour.

Now, Mel B has said the band are in talks with Glastonbury organisers about performing at the festival in June.

She told The Sun: "Glastonbury. It's been talked about. But we're so pop and it's so cool - that'll be funny to me.

"I think Mel C would really appreciate us doing that - she's the cool one. She's the cool indie chick."

Mel B had previously confirmed the Spice Girls planned to invite guest stars to perform on their tour.

Speaking on Jessie Ware's Table Manners podcast, she said: "I've also had an idea which we've talked about - -getting other people on stage with us.

"Katy Perry has agreed to do it - hopefully Adele will do it."

The Spice Girls, formed in 1994 and one of the most successful acts of the decade, have not performed together since the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012, and they last toured together 10 years ago.

The Spice Girls will also play Dublin, Cardiff, Manchester, Coventry, Edinburgh, Bristol and London as part of the tour.

Glastonbury will begin on June 26 and end on June 30.
