There are also plans for a one-off documentary featuring never-before-seen footage — with Netflix and Apple TV eager to snap up the rights.
Emma Bunton, 47, Geri Horner, 50, Mel Brown, 48, and Mel Chisholm, 49, have provisionally agreed to tour dates in 2024 — with recent absentee Victoria “bringing ideas to the table”.
A source said: “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.
“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.
“Victoria will be 50 next year, and the girls turning 30 seems like two anniversaries too good to miss.

“There will be no new music, and Victoria is adamant she doesn’t want to perform live unless for an incredibly exciting one-off opportunity.
“The group have been in talks to headline Glastonbury and this would sit with Victoria’s ‘cool’ aesthetic. And, certainly, hubby David and their four kids would love it.
“The girls have discussed a documentary which would show never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes footage plus present-day interviews. All five are on board to mark 30 years in some way, shape or form. It’s very exciting.” Victoria missed the girls’ 13-date tour of the UK and Ireland in May and June 2019.
Four Spices, minus Mel B, reunited for Geri’s 50th last year.
Mel C performed a solo set at this year’s Glasto where she revealed: “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?’”
The band formed in 1994, with debut single Wannabe reaching No1 in 37 countries in 1996. Their first six singles went to No1 and they became a symbol of ’90s feminism. Geri quit in 1998 and the band took a hiatus in 2000, with all five girls enjoying successful solo careers.
In 2007 they briefly reunited for a worldwide tour with tickets for their London O2 gig selling out in two minutes. Five years later they performed at the London Olympics closing ceremony.
