Royal Mail release collection of 15 stamps to celebrate 30th anniversary of the Spice Girls
Royal Mail have announced it is issuing a set of 15 stamps to celebrate the Spice Girls – one of the world’s most successful pop groups of all time.
This is the first time Royal Mail has dedicated an entire stamp issue to a female pop group and they become only the sixth music group to feature in a dedicated stamp issue – following on from The Beatles in 2007, Pink Floyd in 2016, Queen in 2020, The Rolling Stones in 2022 and Iron Maiden in 2023.
In partnership with Bravado, Universal Music Group’s brand management and merchandise division, Royal Mail worked closely with the band to carefully curate and select images that celebrated the incredible legacy of The Spice Girls.
The main set of ten stamps features images of group and individual live performances from 1997 to 2012, including their performance at The BRIT Awards, the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games in London, and their reunion tour at Madison Square Garden.
Speaking of the honour, Spice Girls, said: "We are so excited to be celebrated by Royal Mail, alongside some of the most iconic and influential music legends. When we formed the Spice Girls we couldn’t have dreamt that 30 years later we would be the first female group to be dedicated an entire stamp collection, that’s Girl Power!”
“The Spice Girls have been a force to be reckoned with since they formed as a group in 1994. We are proud to celebrate the most successful female music group ever seen, not only for their music but their enduring influence over so many aspects of our lives," added David Gold, Director of External Affairs and Policy.
The stamps, and a range of collectible products, are available to pre-order from today at royalmail.com/spicegirls. A Presentation Pack including all 15 stamps in the set is priced at £19.65. The stamps go on general sale on 11 January.
