The Spice Girls know exactly how to get fans worked up. An Instagram post promising a“major announcement”on 10.09.2026 at 2pm BST was all it took for reunion tour rumors to explode, with fans convinced a five-member comeback or a Las Vegas Sphere residency was finally happening. Then the announcement arrived:“The Singles Collection,”a 14-disc vinyl and CD box set dropping November 6, packed with original artwork, B-sides and previously unreleased demos.
It’s a great get for collectors, but it’s not a tour, and the fandom made that crystal clear in the comments. One fan wrote,“At this point, the teasing feels abusive. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!??”Another added,“I’ll tell you what I want! What I really really want…..A TOUR WITH ALL 5!!!”The frustration makes sense given the timing.“Wannabe”turns 30 this year, and a planned anniversary show was reportedly canceled back in March after the five members couldn’t agree on terms.
The good news? The reunion dream isn’t dead. Mel C and Mel B have both publicly said they’re open to performing together again, and the merch backlash proves just how much fans are willing to spend on a real comeback. For now, the box set is what we’re getting. But the demand is loud, and the Spice Girls have definitely heard it. So tell us: would you buy tickets the second a five-member reunion tour was announced?
