Pop icon Melanie C has been announced as a special guest DJ for Café Mambo Ibiza in the Park, part of TK Maxx Presents Bedford Summer Sessions 2025.
She will take to the Bedford Park stage on Friday, 11 July, joining an already stellar lineup alongside Jax Jones and Fedde Le Grand.
Bedford Summer Sessions will also welcome Simple Minds, Rag’n’Bone Man, The Human League, Supergrass, and McFly across its two-weekend festival.
From Spice Girl to festival DJ
A global superstar, Melanie C rose to fame as Sporty Spice, one-fifth of the best-selling female group of all time, the Spice Girls. With 11 UK number-one singles and over 108 million records sold, she remains one of Britain’s most successful female artists.
Her debut solo album, Northern Star, sold over 4 million copies worldwide, launching a career that has seen her headline major festivals and clubs across the world.
