Legendary guitarist Steve Hackett is pleased to announce "Genesis Revisited Live: Seconds Out & More", the document of his 2021 UK tour celebrating the classic 1977 Genesis live album. It sees Steve and his band perform "Seconds Out" in full and in sequence, as well as a selection of solo material including tracks from his most recent studio album "Surrender of Silence".

‘Surrender of Silence’ is the brand-new studio album from legendary guitarist Steve Hackett. As with his acoustic album from earlier this year, this too was recorded during lockdown and involving several musicians and singers contributing from around the world. “Lockdown cobwebs are blown away in one fell-swoop here”, says Steve… “With the monster rhythm section of Jonas Reingold, Craig Blundell, Nick D’Virgilio and Phil Ehart along with Rob Townsend’s soaring sax and bass clarinet, Nad Sylvan, Amanda Lehmann and myself on vocals, Roger King’s darkly powerful organ and my guitar, we plunge full-pelt into that wild release of energy”…

On 30 November 2010, Steve Hackett and band returned to the Shepherds Bush Empire to resounding applause after many stops abroad with the "Around the World in Eighty Trains" tour. While snow fell outside in a London blizzard, within the atmosphere was burning. The band on fine form and hot to trot was joined by special guests Steven Wilson and John Wetton.

In November 2019, at a sold-out show in London's Hammersmith Apollo, STEVE HACKETT performed the legendary Genesis album "Selling England By The Pound" in its entirety while also celebrating the 40th anniversary of his classic solo album "Spectral Mornings", and performing selected tracks from his recent solo album "At The Edge Of Light". "Here's a show which takes you as close as possible into the live experience, with all the bells and whistles of an unrepeatable event", Steve Hackett proudly states about "Selling England By The Pound & Spectral Mornings: Live At Hammersmith" and adds: "Great live sound by Ben Fenner, fabulous mixes by Roger King, amazing surround sound by Steven Wilson and an extraordinary band on fire!"
