Extra dates were added for its Wembley Arena, Etihad Stadium and Ricoh Arena concerts, however no further dates have been announced since then. This now brings the reunion tour from 6 original dates to 11.

While no Irish dates have been announced, it's likely that the success of the UK stadium tour could spur Spice Girls into expanding it into a European tour - or, at the very least, adding an Irish date.

Standing tickets are selling for £77 with VIP packages going all the way up to £291, or in some venues, £399. The UK stadium tour was announced on Monday to huge fanfare, and speculation surrounding a possible world tour off the back of it.
