The Spice Girls have added EXTRA dates to their 2019 ‘Spice World’ stadium tour after the first set of announced shows sold out within minutes.
Tickets for the girls long awaited reunion tour went on sale at 10:30am this morning, with fans from around the world frantically trying to get tickets.
Such was the demand that many found themselves waiting in online queues for lengthy periods of time, as well known ticket retailers such as Ticketmaster and Seetickets struggled to cope with the huge volumes of traffic accessing their site.
The iconic girl group will now play extra shows in London, Manchester and Coventry, with the tour now kicking off at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on May, 29th instead of June 1st.
They will also play two additional dates at Wembley Stadium in London, with shows on 13th, 14th and 15th June, and a further show at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry on June 4th.
