Ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett has announced a 15 date U.K. tour for 2017, including a night at the Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool on Sunday 7th May.
As well as tracks from Steve Hackett’s new album, due out in 2017, he will also perform tracks from classic Genesis album Wind and Wuthering to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the release together with other Genesis Revisited tracks some of which have not been performed live for many years.
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the classic Genesis album Wind and Wuthering, Steve and his band will be performing several tracks from the album as well as fan favourites such as ‘The Musical Box’ and other Genesis numbers never performed before by Steve’s band such as Inside & Out and Anyway.
“I’m excited to bring my latest show involving a new set of Genesis and Hackett numbers to the U.K. in 2017!” said Steve Hackett.
With an established solo career spanning over 40 years, Steve will also be performing some of his popular hits such as The Steppes, Serpentine, Every Day and the first ever live performance of Rise Again from his 1999 album Darktown. Steve will also be introducing fans to new music from his forthcoming album, which is due out early spring 2017.
Joining Steve on the tour are musicians Roger King (keyboards), Gary O’Toole (drums/percussion, vocals), Rob Townsend (saxes/flutes), Nick Beggs (bass, stick and twelve string) and Nad Sylvan on vocals.
Since the 1970’s Steve has had a remarkable musical career, releasing more than 30 solo albums, seven Genesis albums and working alongside Steve Howe of Yes with supergroup GTR. Renowned for being one of the most innovative rock musicians of our time, in 2010 he was inducted into the Rock Hall Of Fame.
Continuing to impress with his outstanding live shows ‘Genesis Revisited with Classic Hackett’ is a tour not to missed in 2017.
Tickets for the Liverpool Philharmonic show on May 7th go on sale on Friday 7th October at 10am and are available from the Philharmonic Hall Box office
