Genesis share rescheduled reunion tour dates and new rehearsal video
Genesis have announced a series of rescheduled tour dates along with a new video from their rehearsals. You can watch it below.
Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks were due to hit the road this April to play a long awaited reunion alongside longtime live guitarist and bassist Daryl Stuermer and Collins’ son Nic on drums.
However, those original dates for ‘The Last Domino’ tour have now been postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Yesterday (January 22) on social media, the group announced the rescheduled dates, writing: “We’re ready, but the world isn’t… yet!” Genesis are rescheduling their April UK and Irish tour dates for autumn 2021 in light of the ongoing pandemic.
“‘The Last Domino?’ Tour 2021 will now start in Dublin on 15th September.”
The group also shared a new video from their rehearsals – you can see that and the rescheduled dates below.

Speaking about the reunion last year, Rutherford said: “I think it’s a natural moment,” reflecting on the timing of the group’s reunion.
He added: “Phil’s been out on tour for the last two-and-a-half years and his son Nick has been drumming, so it seemed like the natural moment to have a conversation about it.
“We’re all still good friends, we’re all above grass and here we are!”
Last year, during lockdown, Genesis also began uploading a series of classic gigs to YouTube, streaming one new show from across their career every weekend.
