Two years later , in June 2012 , the group reunited for the first time in four years for the press conference in London to promote the launch of '' Viva Forever ! '' . The press conference was held at St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel , the location where the group filmed the music video for " Wannabe " , sixteen years earlier , to the day . In August 2012 , after much speculation and anticipation from the press and the public , the group performed a medley of " Wannabe " and " Spice Up Your Life " at the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony , reuniting solely for the event . Their performance received great response from critics and audiences and became the most tweeted moment of the entire Olympics with over 116,000 tweets on Twitter per minute . In December 2012 , the group reunited once again for the premiere of '' Viva Forever ! '' at the West End 's Piccadilly Theatre . In addition to the promotion of the musical , the group appeared in the documentary , '' Spice Girls ' Story : Viva Forever ! '' which aired on 24 December 2012 on ITV1
