Steve Hackett – Genesis Greats, Lamb Highlights & Solo tour dates 2024:
Steve Hackett joined Genesis at the beginning of 1971 and gained an international reputation as the guitarist in the bands classic line-up alongside Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins. Hacketts intricate guitar work was a key element of Genesis albums from Nursery Cryme (1971) to Wind And Wuthering (1977) including the iconic Selling England By The Pound. After leaving Genesis at the end of 1977, Hacketts solo career, which now spans more than 30 albums, has demonstrated his extraordinary versatility with both electric and acoustic guitar.
Lockdown gave Hackett the opportunity to write and record two new studio albums in 2021: the UK Classical Chart hit Under A Mediterranean Sky and the hit rock album Surrender of Silence.
Hackett and his band enjoyed a return to touring with Genesis Revisited – Seconds Out + More! (2021) and Genesis Revisited – Foxtrot At Fifty (2022). Subsequently, the live album Genesis Revisited – Seconds Out + More!, released in 2022, became Hacketts most successful-ever live album reaching number 28 in the UK Album Chart and achieving highest-ever chart positions in several European countries. He recently released the live album from the 2022 tour – Foxtrot at Fifty + Hackett Highlights Live in Brighton. In January 2024 Steve released his current studio album, the first since 2021 – The Circus and The Nightwhale, which received critical acclaim and great reviews. The fans in Europe loved the new material some of which Hackett performs in the first half of the show.
Steve recently announced reissues and remastered versions of his classical catalogue, available on black and limited edition coloured vinyl and digipack and regular CD. Bay of Kings and Momentum are both available now. More to come.
