The long-awaited Spice Girls reunion tour kicked off Friday at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland.

Melanie B, Melanie C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton performed some of the group's most famous singles without former band member Victoria Beckham and set expectations high for the 12 remaining shows in their first tour in over a decade.

Although the group reportedly dealt with some sound issues throughout the night, which Melanie B later addressed and ensured would be fixed at their next stop, many fans and attendees of the stadium concert raved about the "Spice World" opener.

Check out some of the top moments from the night.

Their colorful costumes were back and better than ever

The singers wore bright, exciting looks onstage and switched outfits multiple times throughout the night.

Geri Halliwell, known as "Ginger Spice," shared a closer look at her look before the show, an updated version of the famous Union Jack dress she wore to the 1997 BRIT Awards.

The garment, created by costume designer Gabriella Slade, had 'Girl Power" written across the back. Slade worked with each of the singers to create a total of 24 looks.

One of Melanie B's performance looks was a leopard-printed outfit, while Melanie C wore a bright blue sequined two-piece at one point during the concert.

Emma Bunton, known as "Baby Spice," wore a hot pink, mini dress with a dramatic train before switching into her next look of the night.

"Oh my god! What fun we had! I can not wait to get back up there again in Cardiff tomorrow night!" Melanie C wrote in an Instagram post.
