Running from December 2007 to February 2008, the tour was their first major concert tour since <em>Spiceworld<\/em> in 1998 and followed years of solo projects, family life and individual adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spanning 45 performed shows, the tour celebrated the group\u2019s incredible catalogue of hits, from <em>Wannabe<\/em> and <em>Say You\u2019ll Be There<\/em> to <em>Spice Up Your Life<\/em> and <em>Who Do You Think You Are<\/em>. Fans around the world welcomed the reunion, with the tour selling <strong>581,066 tickets<\/strong> and generating approximately <strong>$70.1 million in ticket sales<\/strong>, alongside an estimated $100 million in merchandise revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the tour\u2019s biggest highlights was the Spice Girls\u2019 17-night sold-out residency at London\u2019s O\u2082 Arena. Drawing more than 256,000 fans and grossing $33.8 million, the residency became the highest-grossing engagement of 2008 and earned the group a <em>Billboard<\/em> Touring Award for Top Boxscore. The tour ranked among the year\u2019s most successful concert tours worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Return of the Spice Girls Tour<\/em> remains a particularly special chapter in the group\u2019s history: the only full tour to feature all five original members following Geri\u2019s return, and the last Spice Girls tour to include Victoria Beckham. It was a celebration of friendship, nostalgia and the enduring power of Girl Power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2851,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","spice_artist":[19],"class_list":["post-2850","spice_tour","type-spice_tour","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","spice_artist-spice-girls"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spice_tour\/2850","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spice_tour"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/spice_tour"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2850"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spice_tour\/2850\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2852,"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spice_tour\/2850\/revisions\/2852"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2850"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"spice_artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spice-girls.net\/archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/spice_artist?post=2850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
