Pardon my tween language but… OMFG!

It was announced officially on thespicegirls.com that the Spice Girls are coming to Toronto for their anticipated world tour after the huge response from TO fans from the Spice City competition! Here’s the latest note from the website:

We set this [contest] up to give all our genuine fans the chance to turn their hometown into a SPICE CITY. This was all about making your own city a SPICE CITY and since we launched there have been literally millions of votes for us to play in hundreds of cities including places like Rio, Chicago, Melbourne, Manchester, Paris, Alice Springs, Baghdad, and Diss (in Norfolk England)!

But one city had to win and we are now delighted to announce the winner is… TORONTO. Thanks to everyone in Canada who voted for us to play there - we’ll work out the date over the next few weeks and let you know.

Oh man, I’m so proud of Toronto. If you haven’t been following the Spice news, there was initially no Canadian date for the tour when it was announced June. Then three additional dates were added to the tour in late July, which included Vancouver as its Canadian date. But now that’s all about to change, as we are Spice City! Thanks eager Spice fans who voted, because they helped to put Toronto on the map.

Beat that Chicago! We might not have Millennium Park, but we’ve got Spice Girls! Na na na-na nah!

Toronto will now join the 14 other concert cities including San Jose, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Vancouver, Buenos Aires, London, Koln, Madrid, Cape Town, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Sydney.

Oh man, I totally want to go. Who’s with me?

PS: Do you remember back in the days when Muchmusic played music programming? I swear, I watched every show that involved the Spice Girls. Oh man, those days were fun.
