Mel C live in Manchester at O2 Ritz
Recently married Mel C has announced a series of live dates including Manchester’s O2 Ritz in October. Fresh from the euphoric momentum of her forthcoming ninth studio album Sweat, Melanie C and a powerful new single, ‘Undefeated Champion’, alongside the announcement of her upcoming Melanie C World Tour. A bold, uplifting anthem about resilience and inner strength, ‘Undefeated Champion’ continues the joyful, club-ready spirit of the Sweat era while delivering one of Melanie’s most empowering messages yet. Speaking about the new single, Melanie C says: “‘Undefeated Champion’ is about getting knocked down and choosing to rise every single time. It’s a reminder that the hardest moments are the ones that make us stronger. It’s faith over fear, joy in the face of adversity – almost challenging the universe: ‘come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough!’ At its core, it’s about realising we’re far more resilient than we think.” For details of the gig
