Stop right now, are the Spice Girls finally coming to Australia?

The reformed 90s pop group, arguably the most successful girl group of all time, have announced onstage that at long last they will bring their live show down under.

Performing the final date of their British reunion tour in London­’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday night, Mel B (aka Scary Spice) thanked fans for their support­ before yelling: “We’ll see you in February in Australia!”

While the group’s promoters are yet to make an official announce­ment, a proclamation onstage by a member of the band is the best indication so far that a tour to our shores will actually happen.

The Spice Girls embarked on their British reunion Spice World tour — without Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) — late last month.

A tour in February 2020 would be the first time the Spice Girls have played a concert in Aust­ralia. The band has done two reunion tours since its breakup in 2000 — in 2007 and 2012 — but both times Aussie fans were disappointed when our stadiums were left off the tour schedule.

Mel B’s announcement sent Spice Girls fans wild on social media.

“The thought of the Spice Girls in Australia has almost tipped me over the edge,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

“Spice Girls are coming to Australia???? My 6-year-old self and my 28-year-old self are collectively dying,” wrote another.

Mel B has had a long affinity with Australia, having been a judge on The X Factor and Aust­ralia’s Got Talent in recent years.

The group’s biggest single, Wannabe, from debut album Spice, released in 1996, topped the charts not only in Australia but also in Germany, the US and Britain­, with combined sales of 1.71 million copies.

The group’s other hits include Stop and Spice Up Your Life.
