Steve Hackett has announced a Genesis Revisited UK tour for 2019. The guitarist has revealed that he’ll play the 1973 album Selling England By The Pound in its entirety for the very first time on the 20-date run, which will kick off at Aylesbury’s Waterside on November 2 next year.

Also, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his 1979 record Spectral Mornings, Hackett will celebrate the occasion by performing a selection of tracks from the album along with some material from his upcoming studio album, which is expected to launch next year.

Hackett says of the shows: “I’m thrilled to be performing the whole of my favourite Genesis album Selling England By The Pound, which caught the attention of John Lennon in 1973. I felt that I was now playing guitar in the world’s best band and everything was opening up for us.
