Live at Northcote Theatre: MELANIE C (UK) - World Tour

On 1 May 2026, Melanie releases her ninth studio album Sweat via Virgin Music Group - her most euphoric and dancefloor-driven record to date. A celebration of joy, movement and community, Sweat channels the freedom and energy of her early 90s Costa Brava rave days with “The F**king Yeah Four,” capturing the spirit of those formative nights that shaped her lifelong love of club culture.

Recorded across London, Stockholm and Los Angeles, Sweat unites every part of Melanie’s story - athlete, pop icon, underground DJ and lifelong raver - into one cohesive and uplifting body of work. “Music gets me through tough moments - I’m proud to bring out a joyful record in a dark time,” Melanie says of the album.

General public tickets go on sale on Friday, 20 March, 10am (local).

Melanie’s connection to Australia runs deep, having filmed the lead single video and press visuals for Sweat locally. She is also returning as a Coach on The Voice Australia later this year.

As a member of the Spice Girls, Melanie helped redefine global pop culture. The group have sold more than 85 million records worldwide, with their debut album Spice becoming the best-selling album by a female group in history. They achieved #1 singles in 37 countries and received the BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. Melanie reunited with the group for the 2012 London Olympics Closing Ceremony and their sold-out 2019 UK stadium tour.

Her solo career has been equally formidable, with over 3 million albums sold worldwide, two #1 singles and six Top 10 hits including 'I Turn To You', 'Never Be The Same Again', 'First Day Of My Life' and the Bryan Adams duet 'When You’re Gone'.

Beyond pop, Melanie has reignited her DJ career in recent years, playing iconic venues including Pacha and Café Mambo, as well as major global Pride events with Sink The Pink. She also released her acclaimed 2021 self-titled album and 2022 memoir Who I Am: My Story, and is confirmed to appear in the upcoming Rebel Wilson-directed film Girl Group.

With Sweat, Melanie C returns unapologetically to the dance floor - delivering a live experience that blends euphoric club energy, powerful vocals and the pop anthems that have soundtracked generations. The November 2026 Australian tour marks the first opportunity for local fans to experience this new era live.
