Melanie C World Tour (of Spice Girls)

Melanie C, the singer and DJ formerly known as Sporty Spice of the Spice Girls, brings her World Tour to 9:30 Club. The performance centers on her solo music and her latest album, *Sweat*, a dance-pop record inspired by the rave culture that shaped her as a teenager and by her later work behind the decks.

The show’s musical world blends electro house, retro disco, pop, and club music. Songs such as “Sweat,” which samples Diana Ross’s “Work That Body,” “Undefeated Champion,” “Till It Breaks,” and “Flick of the Wrist” reflect themes of celebration, resilience, heartbreak, community, and finding joy during difficult times. Chisholm’s career as a Spice Girl, solo artist, and DJ informs the performance, with the album connecting her early rave experiences, athletic identity, pop career, and recent appearances at clubs and festivals.
