Genesis are back for tour late this year

LEGENDARY rock band Genesis, compromised of Tony Banks, Phil Collins & Mike Rutherford, are reuniting and bringing their ‘The Last Domino?’ Tour to M&S Bank Arena on November 23, 2020.

Genesis are one of Britain’s best loved rock bands. Formed in Surrey in 1967, the most successful and longest-lasting line-up consisted of keyboardist Tony Banks, bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins.

Significant former members were original lead singer Peter Gabriel, and guitarists Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett.

The band moved from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.

They have sold an amazing 21.5 million copies of their albums in the United States, with worldwide sales of between 100 million and 150 million.

Collins took over as lead singer eventually, while Genesis gained popularity in the UK and the US. Following A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering (both 1976), Hackett left, reducing the band to Banks, Rutherford, and Collins.

Genesis’ next album ...And Then There Were Three... produced their first UK top ten and US top 30 single in 1978 with Follow You Follow Me, and they continued to gain commercial success with Duke (1980), Abacab (1981) and Genesis (1983).

They reached a peak of popularity with Invisible Touch (1986), which featured five US top five singles, and its title track reached number one.

The reunion announcement comes amid great excitement as Genesis are ready to recapture their glory days – this time with Phil’s son Nicholas on the drums!
