Seven years after they last performed together for the 2012 Olympics, the Spice Girls debut their reunion tour at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin.
Emma, Geri, Mel B and Melanie C took the sold out audience on an emotional journey into Spice World with their iconic songs backed by a huge production with giant screens displaying messages of unity, togetherness and love throughout the night. They opened the show with the message, “We welcome all ages, all races, all gender identities, all countries of origin, all sexual orientations, all religions & beliefs, all abilities”.
