Steve Hackett Genesis Greats, Lamb Highlight, Solo Billets

Following his sell-out Friars Aylesbury concert in 2022 legendary Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett returns to the Waterside for the opening date of his 2024 Genesis Greats, Lamb & Solo tour.

This tour will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the sixth Genesis studio album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway as well as classic Genesis tracks from earlier albums and Steve's iconic solo material.

This will be Steve's 13th Friars Aylesbury appearance the first of which was with Genesis in 1971.

Legendary guitarist Steve Hackett announces the dates for his 2024 UK tour: Steve Hackett - Genesis Greats, Lamb Highlights & Solo. The tour takes in 15 dates
across the UK culminating with a visit to London’s Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 23rd October. To mark the 50 th anniversary of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Hackett is including a selection of highlights from this iconic Genesis album. Tickets go on sale on Friday 29th September at 10am.   

Steve Hackett’s timeless guitar-work was woven throughout Genesis’ classic 70’s catalogue of albums. In recent years he and his outstanding touring line-up of Roger King (keyboards), Nad Sylvan (vocals), Jonas Reingold (bass, backing vocals), Rob Townsend (saxophone, flutes, additional keyboards) and Craig Blundell (drums) have brought many of these albums back to the concert hall to great acclaim. Special guest, Amanda Lehmann will be joining the whole of the UK tour on guitar and vocals. Many fans have also been asking for more tracks from The Lamb to be included. What better way to celebrate half-a-century of this remarkable album than to include a selection of Lamb Highlights alongside some of Hackett’s finest solo work and unmissable Genesis Greats.

“I’m hugely looking forward to the 2024 UK tour,” says Steve Hackett, “including ‘The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway’ favourites as well as other iconic Genesis numbers along with solo gems. It’ll also be exciting to return to the wonderful Royal Albert Hall!”
