The Spice Girls kicked off their UK reunion tour in Dublin in spectacular style, featuring a number of costume changes and a set list of nineties pop bangers.
Emma Bunton, Geri Horner, Mel B and Mel C descended upon Croke Park in the Irish capital on Friday 24 May, which also saw support from Jess Glynne.
The show kicked off in suitable style with track Spice Up Your Life, with the band members coming out in twists on their classic outfits, including Geris new spin on her iconic Union Jack dress.
The show itself featured 24 costume changes, and was split over six separate acts as they rattled through hits like Viva Forever, 2 Become 1, and Wannabe.
An emotional video halfway through the show paid tribute to the absence of Victoria Beckham, who recently wished her bandmates luck before the tour kicked off.

They also adjusted their message of girl power to accommodate a wider audience, with screens reading: We welcome all ages, all races, all gender identities, all countries of origin, all sexual orientations, all religions & beliefs, all abilities.

Some fans however took to Twitter to mention there were sound issues which prevented them hearing the girls speak on stage.
