Who's going? What are you hoping for? Who is turning up late to avoid the awful support act?

 

[Music City Queen]

I'm hoping for a Voodoo moment, even if it's just Mel C slagging it off for 30 seconds.

If they're skipping Headlines, they're definitely skipping Voodoo!

 

[torontodj]

I'm hoping they will come to North America!

(I doubt it will happen but dare to dream...)

 

[Stuart]

Is this necessary this early? There haven’t been many spoilers as it is and having this thread a month in advance will just split/duplicate conversation across the two threads.

It's 24 days away. I'd get it if it'd been set up on the day the tickets went on sale but I don't think setting this up now is the worst thing in the world.

Glad you made this thread as it helps people know where to and where not to look!

I can't think of a good setlist as there's just so many ballads. They did a great job with spacing them out on the last tour and speeding up Too Much but I'm not sure if they'll do that this time round. When you look at their 13 singles, 7 are ballads which is quite heavy.

1. Lady Is a Vamp to open (something different and quite fitting with the "we hope that you enjoy the show"), followed by a big anthem like Who Do You Think You Are

2. Album tracks like Move Over, Never Give Up On The Good Times & Love Thing would be nice.

3. Viva Forever and Wannabe as the encore.

 

[Jóga]

I don’t think I’m emotionally ready. I was born around the time Wannabe was released so I completely missed the Spice mania, but my mother has always claimed that the first song she remembers me reacting to and liking is Wannabe. It took me about until I was 16 to appreciate them and the legacy thanks to Girls Aloud, the Suga and the Sats and tracing back the history of girlbands.

I’ve always had this feeling of yearning about seeing them so I’ll be satisfied with any setlist since it’s obvious the singles will be sung. I can’t wait to bawl my eyes out when they perform Viva Forever.

I’m going to Wembley on the 13th and I’m scared shitless because I’ve never been in a stadium and I don’t know how many hours in advance I should be there.

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

I still wish I was going! But hey ho, shall happily come on here and find out what the shows were like!!

 

[nadinecherrypie]

No spoilers for me
Gold circle Dublin
If i could figure out how to post pics I’d do it for yas
So I’ll be one of the first to see this tour up close
Hai si ja hold tight

 

[Utopia]

GA in Dublin and Spice Circle in on the last night in Wembley. Can't quite believe I'm seeing them.

 

[andru]

Spoil me rotten! Although there's nothing quite like seeing something for the first time, not knowing what to expect, my date is right at the end so there's no point trying to stay "spoiler free" because it'll be impossible.

Yes, it really is so hard to avoid concert spoilers these days alas. Hope you have a brilliant time!!

 

[JMRGBY]

I don't think I'm capable of avoiding spoilers. I refuse to go to opening nights of concerts where I can because I have to know what's going on.

 

[madgemad]

I too need to know as much as possible!

They should open with Too Much.

Which is fair enough too!

I've never seen them before so I'm guessing this has already been done, but Spice Up Your Life is the best and rightful opener for me.

 

[torontodj]

I'm really curious to see how this will differ from the last tour. That show was really good. One of the best concerts. But I'm sure this will be amazing.

 

[Tigerlily]

As far as setlist goes i just need 5 things:
1. If U Can't Dance (the proper one)
2. Love Thing
3. Saturday Night Divas
4. Never Give Up On The Good Times
5. Step To Me

I know i'll be disappointed when they do 3 useless covers and start with solo no sense instead but let me dream.

 

[MrJames]

In an ideal world, it will be the entirety of Spice & Spiceworld + Goodbye & Holler.

Obviously it won’t be.
