Spice World – 2019 UK Tour was the fourth concert tour by English girl-group the Spice Girls, and the group’s first large-stadium tour. It was the group's only tour without "Posh Spice" Victoria Beckham, and only visited cities in Great Britain and Ireland. Spice World commenced on 24 May 2019 at Croke Park, Dublin, to a sold-out crowd of over 74,000 people, and ended on 15 June 2019 at Wembley Stadium, London, after three dates performed for over 220,000 fans. Across the 13 sold-out dates, the tour produced almost 700,000 spectators and earned $78.2 million in ticket sales.[1]

The three-night sellout run at Wembley Stadium was the highest-grossing engagement of the year, winning the 2019 Billboard Live Music Award for Top Boxscore.[2]
Spice World was the fourth concert tour by the Spice Girls, and marked the group's first performance together since the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony. It was also the group's first tour without Victoria Beckham, who declined to take part due to other commitments.[3][4]
On 10 November 2018 several ticket-selling websites, such as Ticketmaster and See Tickets, crashed due to the overwhelming volume of people attempting to buy tickets.[5] Ticketmaster later stated that at one point, over 700,000 fans were simultaneously attempting to purchase tickets, making it their busiest sale ever. The six original dates sold out within minutes, prompting the group to add additional dates in Manchester and London.[6][7] More dates were soon announced to take place in Coventry and Cardiff due to further demand.[8] On 16 November, a show in Dublin's Croke Park was announced, the band’s first in Ireland in 21 years. Consequently, the tour was renamed to Spice World – 2019 Tour.[9]
