Genesis, who are among the biggest selling recording artists of all time and one of Britain's most internationally renowned bands, will be touring for the first time in 13 years, with dates across the UK and Ireland. Kicking off in Dublin on 16th November at the 3Arena, 'The Last Domino?' tour comes to Belfast on 19th, before moving on to the UK mainland.
The Last Domino? Tour 2020 which stops at SSE Arena Belfast, will be Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford’s first live outing together since the globe-trotting, sell-out Turn It On Again: The Tour in 2007. They will be joined on stage by Nic Collins on drums, and the bands long time guitar and bass player Daryl Stuermer.
Tickets will be on general sale at 9am on Friday 6 March from all usual outlets. The remainder of the dates can be viewed below.
The tour follows on from comments made by founder Mike Rutherford in March 2019, which suggested that a reunion featuring him, Collins and Banks, with the addition of Nic Collins on drums was plausible. Speaking to eonmusic, Mike said; "we’re all good friends. It’s interesting; Phil is back touring now, and I never saw that coming. His son Nicholas is a lovely young man and a great drummer [Nicholas at the time was playing drums in Phil Collins’ solo band], and I never saw that [coming either]. So I always say "never say never".
Genesis are one of the world’s biggest selling and most successful bands of all time. They have sold an estimated 100 million albums and have played to sold-out stadiums and arenas all over the world for decades.
The evolution of Genesis is unique, their sound developed and progressed throughout their career and with multiple line-up alterations in the early years, the classic line-up of Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford took shape in 1976.
‘And Then There Were Three’ (1978) was the first album the band released as a three-piece and spawned the single ‘Follow You Follow Me’ which was their first UK top ten and US top 30 single and proved to be the start of huge commercial global success. The albums ‘Duke’ (1980), ‘Abacab’ (1981), ‘Genesis’ (1983), ‘Invisible Touch’ (1986) and ‘We Can’t Dance’ (1991) followed for the trio, alongside almost constant global stadium tours cementing the band as one of the most successful of all time.
Tony, Phil and Mike reunited again as a band in 2007 after almost 10 years for the Turn It On Again Tour which went on to be one of the biggest grossing tours on the year playing sold-out stadiums around the world.
