The Spice Girls have announced their first tour in a decade, as Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Melanie Chrisholm are set to take the stage.

Victoria Beckham has opted to not rejoin the group, as the foursome are set to kick off their tour in Manchester’s Etihad Stadium on 1 June 2019.

The long awaited reunion is due to host six performances in London, Manchester, Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh and Bristol.

“We hope everyone can join us for one big Spice Girls party!” a statement from the group said.

Jess Glynne will be another famous face to grace the stadiums, as the singer will be joining the Spice Girls as a ‘very special guest’.

Shortly after the announcement, Glynne tweeted: “ARE YOU MAD! I'm Joining @spicegirls ON TOUR! Y'all best come through cause this stadium tour is gonna kick OFF!”

The group had last performed together during the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012, and last toured together ten years ago.

Tickets go on sale at 10:30am on Saturday, 10 November 2018.
