Reunion tour

The Spice Girls reunion tour has gotten off to a rocky start, to say the least.

The iconic 1990s girl-group performed at Croke Park last Friday, and Cardiff's Principality Stadium last night, and fans are slamming the sound problems and even demanding refunds.

The band's opening gig in Dublin was plagued with sound issues, with some fans in the crowd even walking out after they were unable to hear any of the songs or the commentary in between.

After Friday's gig, Spice Girl Mel B said she hoped the sound "will be much better" at their Cardiff concert, but seemingly the audio problems remained.

Many fans took to social media to vent their disappointment, describing the sound delays and feedback as atrocious.

"How disappointing to spend money on a ticket to see The Spice Girls and the support act stole the show!," wrote one Twitter user, Kate Carr.

Jess Glynne was brought in as the support act, and apparently the sound during her set had no issue.

"The Spice Girls was so much fun however the sound was atrocious and you could not hear what they actually said! So disappointing when you pay soo much for a once in a life time opportunity," wrote another Twitter user.

Not being able to hear their favourite 90's pop icons after paying huge prices for tickets left many people upset, understandably.

The four band-members (Geri Halliwell, Mel C, Mel B and Emma Bunton) powered on with their set list of greatest hits despite the issues.

With fans paying almost €100 for tickets, it's easy to see why they became frustrated, to say the least.

Others were unhappy when Cardiff's stadium roof was bizarrely left open, allowing the rain to come in.

The girl group will continue to perform 12 more concerts in the UK, but we hope they sort these technical difficulties out. At least some fans had a brilliant time, with some describing the experience as 'phenomenal'.

The Spice Girls are heading to Manchester, Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh and Bristol and will finish their tour at London's Wembley Stadium.

The Spice Girls have FINALLY confirmed they are reuniting for a major stadium tour across the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, Victoria Beckham won’t be joining the girls on tour.

Posh Spice may not be there to shimmy around arenas to Wannabe, but there’s no doubt the tour will be a massive success.

The band announced the tour with a news bulletin style video.

Emma Bunton, Mel C, Geri Halliwell and Mel B will perform across the UK with a string of stadium concerts scheduled in for June 2019.

The popstars will perform in Manchester, Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh, Bristol and London, and rumour has it they’ll be announcing a world tour very soon, so keep your eyes peeled for additional dates.

Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, November 10 at 10:30 am and you’d Wannabe quick because there’s no doubt they’ll be swiped up.

The girlband haven’t performed together since 2012, so fans are overjoyed to hear they’re getting back together.

Mel B's Halloween costume is sure to upset a few people, but you can be sure that Victoria Beckham won't be happy, to say the least.

Scary Spice lived up to her name and sported a mask of Posh Spice while wielding a sign saying 'No I am not going on tour.' Yikes.

She appears to be not-so-subtly taking a dig at Victoria Beckham's refusal to join the Spice Girls reunion tour and consequentially causing a fallout within the former iconic girlband.

The America's Got Talent judge attended Heidi Klum's annual NYC Halloween party and appeared to confirm that Posh Spice did in fact cause a feud among the band by rejecting offers for a worldwide tour.

She was accompanied by her close pal Gary Madatyan, who wore a jersey which read “Beckham” and held a sign that read: “Please, please, please do it for the Spice fans."

They're certainly trying to send us a message, that's for sure!

Mel imitated Posh's iconic look of towering heels and a Little Black Dress, and finished off the controversial look with a mask bearing the face of the designer mum-of-four.

She is living up to her new reputation as Shady Spice – and the internet appears to be loving it.

Victoria did not attend Klum's star-studded 19th Annual Halloween Party at LAVO in New York, and therefore wasn't able to defend herself.

Instead, she celebrated Halloween with her kids back in London, dressing up as a creepy bunny which will likely scare most of her neighbours.

Fans were living in confusion over the future of the girlband in the last few months, after the members were all seen together engaging in meetings regarding a tour.

Mel C previously commented that the band might not rejoin as a five-piece, indicating that Victoria was reluctant to engage with her former bandmates.

Why can't they just reunite and be friends again? Wannabe will never go out of style.

Despite Victoria's apparent absence from a future comeback, music mogul Simon Fuller is the brains behind a possible tour featuring the four remaining Spice Girls.

Mel C has been the most vocal in regards to the lack of interest from the designer: "Victoria has been quite vocal, it’s really not something she wants to do at this time."

The four-piece band will reportedly gain around £12 million individually if the tour sells out, even without Victoria Beckham. 

Will there be a rebound swipe at Mel B by Posh Spice, or will she even dignify the costume with a response?

The Pussycat Dolls were a major part of our secondary school years.

From belting out Buttons while slapping on the pan stick for a disco to crying over our teenage breakup to I Hate This Part, we were obsessed.

Much to our teenage delight, Nicole Scherzinger has reportedly confirmed that she will be reuniting with her old gal pals for a Pussycat Dolls reunion tour.

 

A post shared by Nicole Scherzinger (@nicolescherzy) on

The band parted ways back in 2009, which was meant to just be a break to assess creative differences, though the band was plagued with rumours of bitchiness and personality clashes. 

Carmit Bachar was the first to leave the group in 2008.

However, the girl band never got back together, and its members went about their separate lives.

Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Kimberly Wyatt and Melody Thornton are reportedly in talks to be part opf the reunion topur. 

However, there is no word yet on whether Carmit will be joining them. 

We'll be dusting off our knee-high socks and our sauciest dance moves.

Always dreamed of being a Spice Girl?  Well now you might actually have the chance. 

According to Life & Style magazine Emma Bunton, Geri Horner and Mel B could be holding auditions very soon to find replacements for former band mates Mel C and Victoria Beckham.

A source told the mag: “The girls are going to be making a formal announcement about tryouts for their spots in the next few weeks…Posh and Sporty can be replaced."

July will mark the 20th anniversary of the band's first single Wannabe and apparently Baby, Ginger and Scary Spice are mad to go on tour to mark the occasion.

And since Posh and Sporty are refusing to participate in the reunion, the remaining girls have decided they can do it without them.

There has long been speculation surrounding whether or not fashion designer Victoria would agree to a reunion, but until recently it was thought Mel C was a dead cert.

According to the source: “It wasn’t a surprise that Victoria would decline the tour, but the girls really hit the roof when Mel C ditched too.”

And earlier this month Melanie Chisholm hinted to The Sun that she would be up be up for a comeback.

She said: “I will always be a Spice Girl. It’s a wonderful part of my past – but it’s still very much my present.”

“You never know what’s going to happen. I'm not allowed to comment on that.”

We're disappointed to hear the whole gang won't be back to spice up our lives – but at least that means we've a better chance of becoming the new Spice Girls.

They were one of the biggest girlbands of our time, and their reunion tour in 2007 was a great success – but that was when the band was a five-piece.

So now, Mel C has her doubts about the Spice Girls becoming a four-piece and is refusing to go on tour with them, The Sun reports. 

According to the newspaper, Sporty Spice wants Victoria Beckham to rejoin her, Mel, Emma and Geri in order for the reunion tour to go down without a hitch, instead of a complete failure. 

A source told the newspaper: "To fulfill this Mel believes the band has to be the original five-piece and Victoria needs to be involved."

But of course, with Vicky running her own fashion empire at the moment, the mum-of-four is too busy to take part. #BrokenDreams.

We have a feeling Mel is going to fight this, so hopefully Posh Spice will come around, join the tour and make our dreams come true.

Well, this news has thrown some boy bands into an absolute meltdown.

While no one seems to be 100 per cent certain if this is just pure rumour or it there is some truth to it, boyband fans are still getting completely worked up about the possibility.

A former Boyzone star sent fans into an intense frenzy when he took to Facebook and posted a very cryptic (and possibly very cruel) message.

The singer posted a throwback photo of Boyzone and another very famous Irish boyband Westlife.

#musicmonday just a quick look at some old-times… These 2 young Irish groups made there mark on the world.. Although…

He appeared to be dropping the hint that the two bands would soon be joining forces for what fans are imagining would be the most epic tour of all time.

If you are a boyband fan that is.

"MAYBE ITS TIME to join forces and do one of the biggest tour's we have ever seen… #justsaying," he wrote.

Just three years ago, Westlife called it quits after their farewell tour *sob*, Markus Feehily revealed only last week that there was to be little hopes of a reunion for the lads.

Boyzone originally split in 1999, but reformed once more in 2007. Now, Shane has whipped fans of both groups into quite the frenzy and we’re just dying to see how this all plays out.
