The Spice Girls are coming back for a British stadium tour next summer.

June dates have been scheduled in Manchester, Coventry, Sunderland, Edinburgh, Bristol and London.
Jess Glynne posted on Twitter that she would be joining the tour as the opener.
Tickets go on sale Nov. 10 at 10:30 a.m.
The band plans to take the stage without fashion designer Victoria Beckham, who performed as “Posh Spice” during the group’s 1990s pop heyday.

The band said Monday that Beckham would not take part because of business commitments but “will always be one of the Spice Girls and remains aligned with Emma, Mel B, Melanie C and Geri in preserving their unique legacy.”

The tour will mark the first time the group has performed together since the 2012 Olympics. 

The last major Spice Girls tour reported to Pollstar was in 2008, when the Girls toured throughout North America. That run was full of grosses upward of $1 million and $2 million, and included multiple two-night stands at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena grossing more than $3 million.

The Spice Girls’ routing is as follows:

June 1 – Etihad Stadium – Manchester, England
June 3 – Ricoh Stadium – Coventry, England
June 6 – Stadium Of Light – Sunderland, England
June 8 – BT Murrayfield Stadium – Edinburgh, Scotland
June 10 – Ashton Gate Stadium – Bristol, England
June 15 – Wembley Stadium – London, England
