Steve Hackett has revealed he'll be taking to the road for a third and final time on the Genesis Extended UK Tour.
Featuring a selection of the group's classics and some gems he didn't include in the two years prior to this one, this is going to be the final opportunity for fans to see Hackett perform an entire set from the Genesis catalogue.

We'll launch into a full Genesis set with favourites from this year such as The Musical Box, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight and Supper's Ready along with the addition of other Genesis classics which are often requested and the audiences deserve to hear... I'm really excited about this!”
Steve acted as guitarist for Genesis between 1971 and 1977 and became the first ex-member to re-record and tour this era of material.
He'll be taking to the stage with other top musicians including Roger King on keyboards, Gary O'Toole on drums, percussions and vocals, Rob Townsend on sax, flute and percussions and Nad Sylvan on vocals. Nick Beggs also makes his return on bass and twelve-string guitar.
The tour is to visit some of the locations Genesis Revisited missed out, and will stop once more in London where two shows previously sold out.
