After Millions Of Votes The Spice Girls Announce
Toronto As Spice City
Today The Spice Girls announce that Toronto is set to become the chosen Spice City as voted for by legions of Spice Girls fans.
The Spice City initiative was set up by the girls to give their genuine fans the opportunity to bring the band to their city for an extra special performance as part of their world tour.
Since launching Spice City the girl’s website has been inundated with voters from all over the world, trying to bring some of the Spice excitement to their city. Cities and towns that almost came close include Rio, Chicago, Paris, Melbourne, Manchester, Diss, Baghdad and Alice Springs but in the end Toronto received the most votes.
The girls have been overwhelmed by the response and are delighted that Toronto is the chosen Spice City.
“We are delighted to be going to Toronto. We have such incredible fans there and we are amazed at such a positive reaction. It’s a great place and we can’t wait to get back there. Well done Toronto.”
On June 28th, Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria announced to the world they were reforming for a 10-date world tour. Since that moment they have received well over 3 million registrations for tickets at www.thespicegirls.com. Last week, due to phenomenal demand, the girls added a further 4 dates to the tour. With Toronto now being added it brings the total up to 15.
The Spice City show will be scheduled for sometime in January.
