Spice Girls announced their first concert dates together since the 2012 Olympics according to reports. The tour will be a set of stadium dates in the U.K. for the summer of 2019.

Spice Girls and remains aligned with Emma, Mel B,
Melanie C and Geri in preserving their unique legacy."
Beckham herself said in the announcement, "Being in the
