Steve Hackett « Best of Genesis & Solo Gems »

On 6 October 2026, Steve Hackett brings Best of Genesis & Solo Gems to Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre in Bournemouth. The guitarist who defined a key phase of Genesis from 1971 to 1977 revisits that era with care, drawing on Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and placing those tracks alongside highlights from his own catalogue. The show balances electric intensity and acoustic finesse, with arrangements that let his melodic lines breathe, shift in dynamics and stretch through the layered textures that shaped his sound.

Expect signature solo pieces from Voyage of the Acolyte and Spectral Mornings through to later works like At the Edge of Light and Surrender of Silence. Hackett’s approach blends progressive structures, orchestral colors and intimate guitar passages, keeping the conversation open between his Genesis years and the paths he has explored since. Played with a seasoned band and a focus on detail, this set offers a clear view of how his playing connects these chapters without nostalgia, just music that stands on its own.
