Steve Hackett expands his Genesis Revisited tour with 41-piece orchestra
Due to incredible demand, Steve Hackett has added two shows to his Genesis Revisited tour this coming autumn.
Having completely sold out his London Royal Festival Hall gig on Thursday 4th October, Steve will now play an extra London gig at The Palladium exactly a week later together with Ipswich Regent on Wednesday 11th October.
Tickets to both these gigs go on sale from Planet Rock Tickets at 10am on Friday 23rd February.
The Genesis Revisited tour was inspired by the success of Steve’s one-off show with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at Kleinhans Music Hall in New York last March.
The UK dates will feature the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra conductor Bradley Thachuk. Steve’s regular backing band of Roger King (keyboards), Gary O’Toole (drums/percussion), Rob Townsend (saxes/flutes) with Nad Sylvan on vocals will also feature, while Jonas Reingold from The Flower Kings will be on bass.
Steve comments: "I always hoped that the Genesis music would one day involve an orchestra and I'm proud to say I'll now be able to make that dream a reality on my next British tour, involving my own extraordinary rock band alongside a full-sized orchestra."
The show will feature some of Genesis’s best-loved tracks including ‘Supper’s Ready’, ‘Dancing with the Moonlit Knight’ and ‘Firth of Fifth’ while Steve’s solo repertoire will be represented by the likes of ‘Shadow of the Hierophant’, ‘El Niño’ and ‘The Steppes’.
