Steve Hackett « Best of Genesis & Solo Gems »

Steve Hackett brings Best of Genesis & Solo Gems to Congress Theatre, Eastbourne, on 4 October 2026. Guitarist and composer with Genesis from 1971 to 1977, he helped shape the band’s progressive sound before launching a solo path where electric flights sit next to acoustic miniatures and orchestral colours.

On stage with his touring band, Hackett revisits milestones from the Genesis catalogue — pieces drawn from Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway — and threads them with key moments from his own albums. Voyage of the Acolyte and Spectral Mornings sit alongside later works such as At the Edge of Light and Surrender of Silence, montrant la largeur de son répertoire. Long-form compositions, shifting time signatures and lyrical guitar lines structure the set, with room for delicate passages as well as denser, riff-led sections. The show traces the conversation between his Genesis heritage and a solo oeuvre that keeps evolving, porté par un jeu de guitare précis et expressif.
