Spice Girls add more shows as ticket demand skyrockets

London — It seems British fans can't get enough of the soon-to-be reunited Spice Girls.

The "girl power" band that peaked in the 1990s has added five shows to their planned reunion tour next summer after fans complained they couldn't buy tickets.

The band on Saturday added extra gigs in London, Coventry and Manchester. The reunion tour will now begin at Etihad Stadium in Manchester on 31 May.

The band also added a date at London's Wembley Stadium on 15 June.

The dates were added after fans struggled to buy tickets online for the existing shows. Many complained of long waits in electronic queues.

Wow, what a day!!!! Thank you, we love you! #bestfansintheworld #spiceworld2019 pic.twitter.com/h4xZ2ESdY6
