The Spice Girls are back! Officially.
This time, the Pop ensemble have reunited as a quad – without Victoria Beckham, who has decided to sit out their newly announced stadium tour.
Head below, however, to find out why all five members of the group stand to make millions from the mega-venture.
In a quirky reveal video, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, and Mel C spoofed a news bulletin to trumpet their comeback.
The ladies will embark on a stadium run across the UK this summer. Pop star Jess Glynne will be supporting. Tickets go on-sale at the weekend.
Spice Girls Dates
June 1 – Manchester Etihad Stadium
June 3 – Coventry Ricoh Arena
June 6 – Sunderland Stadium of Light
June 8 – Edinburgh BT Murrayfield Stadium
June 10 – Bristol Ashton Gate Stadium
June 15 – London Wembley Stadium
Despite not taking part in the trek, 44-year-old Beckham is still line for a major payday – as, like her bandmates, she has ownership rights in the ‘Spice Girls’ music and branding.
Engineered by the group’s longtime manager Simon Fuller, the tour is in celebration of the band’s 25th anniversary (they were formed in 1994).
It marks their first live concert series in a decade and is their first time performing together since they rocked the 2012 Olympic Closing Ceremony in London.
Uniquely, though the ladies have pressed ahead as a four-piece before (after Horner quit in 1998), it’ll be the debut appearance of this particular configuration.
Update: Victoria has released a statement
Today marks a special day for the girls as they announce the first tour dates since we performed together in 2012! I won’t be joining my girls on stage again but being in the Spice Girls was a hugely important part of my life and I wish them so much love and fun as they go back on tour next year. I know they will put on an amazing show and the fantastic fans past and present are going to have a wonderful time! X vb #spicegirls#friendshipneverends
*******************
We’re here for it. After all, nostalgia and all that jazz.
One has to wonder though, whether the Victoria component (or lack-there-of) will impact adversely.
Let’s hope for an appearance of “some” sort – whether that be a walk-on-and-wave stint at the first or last show. Something, anything.
Still, even if not, it’s safe to assume this will be one of the hottest tickets going.
I don’t remember what Posh spice sound like…?
Posh was the Michelle of the group
????liiiiieeeesss Michelle actually has vocal talent
@King Of Queens : whoa I actually agree with you. Michelle can sing her a*** off and she’s the onkynmemebernofndestinys child to actually have an attractive spouse lol
SHUT UP GUTTER TRASH NOBODY LIKES U B|TCH..
TROLLmine Rasputia you want to be me so bad. I’m tickled. But my hair is real and I’m allllll female- you’re a hermaphrodite with a bad hair weave… and chlamydia

Whenever I feel like talking to a j****** all I got to do I summon u in a comment and here u come crawling like the little neutered pit bull u really are. U ain’t got no balls. U are a man b|tch who I control. U gonna do as I say n|gga and don’t fuss cause u know u liked to be bossed around. BTW quit with all that dumb hermaphrodite sh|t. If u think I got a d|ck then assume the position n|gga and get on ur knees and sick it#
TROLLMINE Get back on your corner! It’s still early there are plenty of sugar daddy’s out there looking for an older hermaphrodite who enjoys breást feeding baby dolls for pleasure
Where Victoria Beckham be? She ain’t doing sh|t. She should be on this tour. Mel B and Geri Halliwell are cool but Imma need Victoria to be there for me to buy a ticket!
Girl(boy) you should write one of your famous GED essays to the Spice Girls camp and ask if you can fill in for Posh. I can see it now .. “Introducing our newest member , TROLLmine Spice”??♀️??♀️??♀️???
LMAO yaaaasss come thru Troll Spice!
@Paulo it’s only fitting the resident TGJ be crowned accordingly. Lol
Shut the f.uck up F.A.G.G.O.T.S trash! gutter TRASH
YAASSS TROLLMINE SPICE IS IN THE MUTHAFÜCKIN HOUSE! Hey sis(bro)!! You must be off work now how’s was your shift? I know H&M cash register is so busy on mondays I bet you’re beat!! Or are you just on lunch?
If Mel C and Emma are in shape to deliver the vocals and Mel B and Geri are on stage then it’s a hit! I wish they’d do it on a worldwide level, I’d love to see them live at least once
5 DATES AND VICTORIA CAN’T SPRING ……….GIRL BYE. SHE UPPITY
They will be fine without Posh as she never contributed to the group and it will more money divided amongst the rest. Posh is overseeing her failed clothing line and her cheating husband. She need to smile and eat as she has the features of a p**
Three words….poor ticket sales
Chile… a stadium tour??? Don’t know who’s gonna buy all them seats… I’m with Posh on this one… seems kinda extreme! They should of booked an arena instead
or a cheater like Janet
I guarantee that they won’t fill these stadiums. In a lot of countries they are seen as a joke compared to quality US girl groups like Destiny’s Child, En Vogue and TLC
They sold out their last tour…it was unexpected but in fact i read at the time they were the act that sold out faster in the uk ever…
Don’t know why will they not do the same thing now…all those people weren’t there by the “talent” of Vic Beckham alone ?????
