Lo Spiceworld Tour è il nome è primo tour mondiale compiuto dalla band britannica Spice Girls dal febbraio 1997 fino al settembre dello stesso anno in promozione dell'omonimo album della band, Spiceworld, e del loro film, Spiceworld: The Movie. Il tour era diviso in 97 tappe che hanno raggiunto l'Inghilterra, molti paesi europei, gli Stati Uniti e il Canada.

[modifica] Storia
Poco prima del termine della parte europea de concerto, la band fu colpita dall'annuncio di una di loro, Geri Halliwell, che comunicava la decisione di voler lasciare il gruppo. Provvisoriamente, per la tappa di Oslo, fu comunicato che la Halliwell non era presente perché colpita da una gastroenterite ma il 31 maggio 1998 i legali divulgarono la notizia ufficiale, che in poche ore fece il giro di tutto il mondo. Come già detto questo è stato il primo tour compiuto dalle Spice Girls, e fu un successo di spettatori. I biglietti per le due tappe irlandesi furono infatti, per esempio venduti in 2 ore, mentre per altre tappe americane come quelle di LA o Philadelphia sono stati letteralmente esauriti in pochi minuti. In particolare il gruppo ho ha stabilito il record di vendita di biglietti più veloce per il concerto al Madison Square Garden, vendendo 13.000 biglietti in meno di 12 minuti.

Inoltre nella parte del ritorno in Gran Bretagna, Denying è stata sostituita da Something Kinda Funny e Move Over è stata sostituita da Love Thing.
