The Spiceworld Tour (also known as Spice Girls in Concert and the Girl Power Tour '98) was the debut concert tour by the British girl group the Spice Girls. It was launched in support of their second studio album ''Spiceworld'' (1997).
==Background==
The Tour was the first global tour staged by the group, and proved to be an almost instant sell-out. Tickets for the first two shows in Ireland sold out within 2 hours.〔(Article reporting 2 hour sell-out of Irish gigs ). ''Rolling Stone''. 3 February, #1998.〕 In early 1998, the Spice Girls embarked upon the world tour that Fuller had set up for them covering Europe and North America. The tour kicked off in Dublin, Ireland on 24 February 1998 before moving on to mainland Europe and then returning to Britain for two gigs at Wembley Arena〔(Girl Power coming to Wembley ). BBC News.〕 and Twelve gigs at Birmingham's NEC Arena. Performing to 150,000 fans over the course of the tour. The full show in Birmingham was recorded for a live album, which was confirmed by the group: "We've shown everyone we can do the business on stage, so now we want to do a live album for fans". Despite masters of recordings being made, the idea was eventually dropped. However, the full audio was broadcast live on BBC Radio 1.
On 31 May 1998, Geri Halliwell announced her departure from the Spice Girls. Through her solicitor (i.e. attorney) she stated: "''Sadly I would like to confirm that I have left the Spice Girls. This is because of differences between us. I'm sure the group will continue to be successful and I wish them all the best''."〔BBC News. (Article confirming Geri Halliwell's departure ). The British Broadcasting Corporation. 31 May 1998. Retrieved 17 November 2007.〕 Halliwell claimed that she was suffering from exhaustion and wanted to take a break. Halliwell's departure from the group shocked fans, in the middle of rumours of fight with Mel B, the news of Halliwell's departure was covered as a major news story by media around the world, it made the covers of the most important tabloid〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ginger Shakes Out of Spice World )〕 and became one of the biggest entertainment news stories of the year,〔(Spice Girls Break-Up Shook Up 1998 ). ''Billboard''. Retrieved 14 March 2006.〕 making news headlines the world over. Geri went on to launch an initially successful solo career. The four remaining members were adamant that the group would carry on and that their approaching North American tour would continue as normal, however, Halliwell's departure threw most of the group's plans into disarray. The Spice Girls finally wrapped up the tour at Wembley Stadium on September 20, 1998. The full show was broadcast live on Sky One, A video release of the groups performance during Wembley Stadium titled; Live at Wembley Stadium, was released on November 24, 1998.
