SPICE UP YOUR LIFE.
Tomorrow, the Spice Girls play Croke Park.
They’re kicking off their Spice World 2019 tour in none other than the Dublin stadium meaning that Irish fans are going to be the first to know what Geri, Mel B, Mel C, and Emma have got in store for fans for their return.
There’ll be tears, there’ll be nostalgia, there’ll be fully grown women holding each other and screaming.
And so there should be. This is the gig-based experience of the year (after Westlife). It’s important. It means something.
And so, in order to get us all pumped for what’s to come, the gals have been sharing a few sneak peek behind-the-scenes looks at tomorrow’s show.
Or rather, they’ve shared a couple of photos of themselves getting ready in Croke Park.
Class.
Baby Spice shared a selfie of herself standing in front of the stage today.

She also shared a pic of herself getting all glammed up ahead of the gig.
Sporty Spice shared a video of herself driving around the grounds as they get prepared for the big day, while Scary Spice posted some bits of herself in the makeup chair enjoying some well-earned ‘GLAMTIME.’
Legit can’t wait.
