Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, Melanie Brown, Geri Halliwell; those names mean only one thing, the Spice Girls, and they are back!

Seven years after splitting1 up, the Spice Girls have performed the first night of their comeback tour in Vancouver in Canada, and it was a sell-out success.

There are a staggering2 eight costume changes in any one show and the stage set is impressive too. As the performance begins the Girls are seen on raised platforms singing 'Spice Up Your Life.'

The first concert was a truly international event with fans coming from all over the world. One even travelled to Vancouver from Italy.
