The tour will only include four of the girls: Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, and Emma Bunton. Victoria Beckham will not be joining the tour. Beckham will be staying behind to focus on her fashion line.
Beckham did, however, release a post on her Instagram page expressing her love for the group and fans and wishing the girls nothing but luck on the tour.
This is the second time the group will have toured with four members. The first time was in 1998 when Halliwell departed from the group.
The girl group will be starting the tour at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium on June 1st. They will also be performing at Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh, and Bristol. The tour will finish at London’s Wembley Stadium.
