Steve Hackett – Foxtrot At Fifty: Tour preview

Steve Hackett continues to revisit the Genesis catalogue as he prepares to take Foxtrot At Fifty (+ Hackett Highlights) on tour

September and October 2022 find him touring the UK to celebrate fifty years of the 1972 Foxtrot album by Genesis.

I think Foxtrot was a terrific achievement for Genesis at that time,” says Steve. “I think there is not one weak track on the album, they all have their strong points and I’m really looking forward to doing the whole album live.”

That’s an hour of the set to celebrate some of the magic from those halcyon days which should leave plenty of space for a little more of his solo work than we’ve experienced as of late.

‘Genesis Revisited Live: Seconds Out & More’ will be available on 2nd September 2022 as Limited 2CD + Blu-ray & Limited 2CD + DVD, both including 5.1 surround sound, behind the scenes documentary & promo videos.
