Steve Hackett’s 31 date Seconds Out +More Tour begins on 10th September. Steve also recently announced the release of his new studio rock album Surrender of Silence for the same date. Seconds Out was the well-received double album recorded on Genesis’ 1977 concert tour together with The Cinema Show, from their 1976 tour, and featured Steve Hackett on guitar alongside Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks and Phil Collins who had taken on the role of vocalist following the departure of Peter Gabriel.
The tour included music from each of the six studio albums from Steves time in Genesis and marked his final recordings with the band as he left to pursue his solo career upon its completion.
The Seconds Out +More! Tour will visit some of the venues Genesis played on that 1977 tour. Steve said “I hugely look forward to being back on the road in the UK, bringing the whole of Seconds Out back to life! The set features some of the most thrilling Genesis material, this time all numbers played in full, plus additional surprises.”
The tour arrives at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Monday 27th September. You can buy tickets here.
Steve’s autobiography, A Genesis In My Bed is out now. Steve talks candidly about his early life, his time with Genesis, and in particular his personal relationships with the other four band members, with insight into the rock band.
