Little Mix trio reunites at Jade Thirlwall’s solo show in London

Pop fans were treated to a nostalgic moment this week when the three members of Little Mix made an unexpected appearance at lead singer Jade Thirlwall’s solo concert in London. The surprise reunion, which featured Jade alongside Perrie Edwards and Leigh‑Anne Pinnock created a wave of excitement among ‘Mixers’ who have long awaited signs that the group might be returning.

Jade, who launched her solo career following Little Mix’s 2022 hiatus, delivered her set in support of debut album That’s Showbiz Baby! which dropped earlier this year. But the show-stopping moment came when Perrie and Leigh-Anne stepped on stage, marking their first public reunion since the group paused operations. The three were photographed together: Perrie, visibly pregnant with her second child, in a white top and cream blazer; Jade in a net jumpsuit; and Leigh-Anne in a sheer dress, all smiles and camaraderie. Social media erupted with comments such as “Little Mix forever” and “my heart is full again.”

Little Mix formed on The X Factor in 2011 and went on to become one of the UK’s most successful girl groups, selling tens of millions of records worldwide. Their last major tour, The Confetti Tour, concluded in 2022 before the band announced they’d be taking a break to pursue individual projects. While the hiatus was defined as temporary, the timing of a full reunion has remained uncertain.

At the London show, Jade’s solo ascent was clear, she is steadily carving out her own path. But the cameo by Perrie and Leigh-Anne served as a reminder of what the trio created together and fuelled speculation that a formal comeback may be on the horizon. Jade previously told media outlets that a Little Mix reunion is “the last thing [I] do” and that the door remains very much open.

For now, each member continues to manage her solo career: Jade with her anthemic pop sound, Perrie exploring her own music direction, and Leigh-Anne focusing on both music and film projects. Yet for one unforgettable night in London, fans got a glimpse of the dynamic that once dominated charts and stages worldwide. Whether this spontaneous reunion leads to more remains to be seen but it certainly delivered in the moment.
