OlderSpice Girls Tour CANCELED
The Spice Girls just announced that they’re cutting their world tour short!
They have dropped Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina, reportedly because of poor ticket sales.
Here’s their official statement: “Sadly the tour needs to come to an end by the end of February due to family and personal commitments for Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria. It was announced in June that, as well as the Europe and the US, the girls planned to visit Australia, China, South Africa and Argentina. Due to the phenomenal demand for tickets in the UK and the US along with the touring logistics for such a massive production it was not possible to fit everything in. As the girls return to normal family life and the kids go back to school they are reviewing all the options, who knows what the future might bring!”
The girls said: “We’ve had such an amazing time over the last 3 months. It’s been incredible being back together and seeing our fans again. We want to thank everyone who came to see us. It was all so mad the first time round, so we’ve really been able to appreciate it properly this time. There have been so many highlights and good times that we know it will be hard to be apart after Toronto. Really sorry if we didn’t get to see you this time round. We all have other commitments in our lives now but who knows what will happen next.”
Thanks, Doobybrain!

thats sad
perhaps if they announced a show in australia, or even started to sell tickets then they could predict that they ticket sales wernt going fast…
I bet you it’s because they’re fighting.
you people posting “who cares” comments…
well obviously YOU do otherwise why waste your precious time stating you don’t lol
you care enough to comment
get a life :)
It wasn’t because of poor ticket sales at all. Tickets weren’t even on sale yet and no renewed date had been announced. They were originally performing in sydney at the middle of January, which was pushed back and a new date was never set.

Sign this petition to try and get the Spice Girls to reconsider the cancellation of their tour down under!!
They never promised the other countries.
It was originally 11 cities but they had to reschedule due to the fans demand. So they did the cities where the demand was higher, and had more fans.
But we have to understand them, I mean before it was just the 5 of them now they had kids (ex. Mel C) and they have husbands and boyfriends to take care of. Plus this was a tour it’s not suppose to take forever, they have other things to do.
It’s a shame to the fans in those countries that wanted to see them again.
Come on! Spice Girls sucks big time, and if all of you are sad because you wont be on their show, then you suck as well. That cant be even called music…
Just saw them in Toronto, it was an incredible show, even the critics in the newspapers indicated it was one of the best concerts in years. Very, very good, and it is amazing how well their songs have stood the test of time. Toronto sold out all 4 shows, and I gather ticket sales have been strong elsewhere in North America and the UK. I tend to suspect that the tour, which morphed well beyond it original very limited dozen or so cities, has just got them all scrambling in respect of their other committments and family obligations, and they decided enough is enough, and called it to an end. By the way, all the girls, including Victoria (whom I know some like to malign) were very good, vocals were excellent, and the entire show was choreographed extremely well - and no lip syching anywhere.
i wanted to see them!!!! and now its cancelled……
omg! please dont do this to me! i was so lookin foward to ur concert in sydney! now i have to cancel my ticket from nz to aussie! i hate you!
In my opinion, I think that they hadn’t been honest with the public. The initial idea of the tour was to carry through a series of concerts in the different continents of the world, America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia.
What they did was something completely different of what was planed at first. Instead of making the tour around the world, satisfying the curiosity of all the fans, the spice girls had decided to give attention only to some of the big cities in Europe and North America. The tour was exclusively for the United Kingdom and the United States, according to their official web site, the great part of the performances were in these two countries.
Only in London they did 17 concerts, plus 3 in Manchester makes 20 concerts in the same country. In the U.S.A. the Spice Girls did 18 concerts. And now I ask myself, why they did so many performances in the same countries, when they could have used some of those dates in other cities of Africa, Asia and Australia?
It wouldn’t have been better if they had made less concerts in the same countries, but to have had the chance to visit the fans in other countries and continents of the world?
Yes, we know, due to the phenomenal demand for tickets in the UK and the US…bla, bla…Guess what, the brazilian fans made an online petition with 18 589 signatures to place Brazil in the world tour and they didn’t even care for that!!! Was the tour really about celebration and love for the fans?! I don’t think so… Because if it was, I think that they don’t know what the words “love” or “fans” means.
WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO AUSTRALIA!?? GET YOUR BUTTS BACK HERE NOW AND FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED! HOW DARE YOU DISSAPOINT MILLIONS OF AUSSIE FANS WHO WAITED AND WAITED AND waited TO SEE YOU AND NOW WE WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE!? I heard on the news that they said “its likely we will come back and do a show in australia”! YOU BETTER SPICE GIRLS OR I DONT KNOW WHAT SOME OF US WILL DO!!!! lol JKN. But seriously….i dont get it! and i HATE the uk and us fans telling us to “get over it” and whatever. SORRY WE DIDNT GET 1MILLION SHOWS, OR THE CHANCE TO SEE THEM EVER! dont tell us how to feel…..NOTHING can make up for this betrayal and scandal. I STILL LOVE YOU spice girls, but PLEASE I BEG YOU GIRLS make it up to us! show australia and asia, africa and argentina ( do they hate the letter A?) that you still believe in GIRL POWER! ps: geri emma and vic your my favourites! viva forever…we’ll be waiting…….
