More dates for Spice Girls

Jul 27, 2007, 11:30 GMT

The Spice Girls have announced extras dates for their world tour, after an unprecedented demand for tickets.

The band - Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri Halliwell - have added three more concerts after 3 million people registered for tickets on the girls' official website.

In a statement, they said: "In true Girl Power tradition we are taking over the world... again! We have just found out that we've had over 3 MILLION ticket requests on the website. As our own VB (Victoria Bekcham) would say, that is MAJOR!!"

The group will now perform in Vancouver, Canada, San Jose, USA, and Shanghai, China.

In order to fit the Shanghai concert into their schedule the girls have moved their Beijing performance to an earlier date.

The band will also add another date to the tour, but it will be the fans decision to where the concert will be.

The girls said: "If we haven't announced a date near you, you can still vote for your city to become 'Spice City'. For one night only, exactly where we perform is down to you and your votes. We are literally in your hands!"

Other cities included on the tour are London, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Koln, Madrid, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cape Town and Buenos Aires.

The band, who will also release a greatest hits album to coincide with the tour this December, announced last month they were reuniting - seven years after their last album was released.
