\n A spokesman for Wax and Beans said: “Melanie C, powerhouse pop artist and former Spice Girl known for her fierce vocals, athletic style, and chart-topping hits like Never Be the Same Again.\n<\/p>\n
\n “From global girl group fame to a successful solo career, she\u2019s built a reputation for authenticity, resilience, and enduring pop influence.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Tickets for the event range from \u00a312.99 to \u00a325.99.\n<\/p>\n
\n Melanie, whose full name is Melanie Chisholm, rose to fame as part of the Spice Girls before launching a successful solo career.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n Her new album Sweat is said to draw inspiration from the UK\u2019s ’90s rave scene, which is described as a formative part of her youth.\n<\/p>\n
\n Her team said: “Recorded between London, Stockholm and Sydney, ‘Sweat’ fuses her past and present – the sport and the spice, the forgotten teenage raver and the accomplished DJ.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Fans have already expressed their excitement ahead of the visit.\n<\/p>\n
\n One person said: “Tickets acquired! Boom.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Another said: “Pre-ordered!! My favourite Spice Girl.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Wax and Beans was named Best Independent Record Store at the 2025 Independent Music Awards and regularly hosts intimate music events and signings.\n<\/p>\n
