Phil Collins<\/a> has retired from the road. Mike Rutherford<\/a>‘s most recent Mike + the Mechanics<\/a> shows only included a couple of Genesis<\/a> songs, all released after the mid-’80s. Peter Gabriel<\/a> doesn’t play any at all. That leaves Steve Hackett, who served guitarist and songwriter with Genesis from 1971-77. <\/p>\n

He’s carried the torch for the proggier material that preceded Genesis’s pop superstardom. Recent tours focused on signature albums from the era, including 2025 dates<\/a> commemorating The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway<\/a><\/em>, a 2023 tour<\/a> focusing on Foxtrot<\/em><\/a> and his 2017 celebration<\/a> of Wind and\u00a0Wuthering<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hackett’s next round of shows will take a broader overview with a best-of-Genesis format that also includes some solo favorites. Tickets are on sale now through his official website<\/a>. See all of Hackett’s confirmed dates, cities and venues below, along with a continuously updated list of rock’s biggest 2026 tours. <\/p>\n

Where Is Steve Hackett Playing in 2026?<\/h3>\n

This is very much a world tour, with U.S. concerts in February and March, South America later in March, Europe in May and June, the U.K. in October and Europe again in November. Hackett will also appear on Cruise to the Edge 2026 out of Miami in March. <\/p>\n

Hackett joined Genesis prior to 1971’s Nursery Cryme<\/a><\/em>. He then helped Genesis to four consecutive gold-selling albums, highlighted by 1973’s Selling England by the Pound<\/a><\/em>. Hackett’s passion for this material<\/a> is obvious and he’s described the period as a “golden era.” Yet Hackett said he doesn’t regret leaving. <\/p>\n

“If you look at it purely in financial terms, you would have said, ‘Yeah, but you could afford Buckingham Palace by now if you’d stayed with the band.” But the core trio of Collins, Rutherford and Tony Banks was growing ever closer and Genesis became “a little bit too much of a closed shop,” Hackett later argued<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“I agonized over leaving the band for a good two years,” he said, “and then I thought, ‘No, I’ve got to make a leap of faith at this point in time’ \u2013 and there’s no doubt that I made the right decision.”<\/p>\n
