Presented by CALM
Celebrating the release of her new album Sweat, Melanie C will sit down with British DJ and presenter Jaguar for a special keynote conversation presented in association with The Great Escape’s Charity Partner, CALM. This landmark session marks 20 years of The Great Escape and 30 years since the arrival of the Spice Girls’ – a cultural force that reshaped British pop and ushered in a new era of global girl power.
As a member of the Spice Girls, Melanie C helped define a generation. As a solo artist, she is the female artist with the most UK No.1 singles in chart history and the only female performer to top the charts solo as part of a duo, quartet and quintet. Across a career spanning three decades, from stadium tours to global DJ sets, Melanie C continues to shape conversations around creativity, identity and longevity in music.
Melanie C said: “I’m really looking forward to joining The Great Escape this year and taking the time to reflect on my journey in the music industry. From the early days with the Spice Girls to building a solo career and stepping behind the decks as a DJ, I’ve experienced so many different sides of this business. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned and how the industry has continued to evolve.”
