Steve Hackett « Best of Genesis & Solo Gems »

Steve Hackett brings Best of Genesis & Solo Gems to Bristol Beacon on 7 October 2026. Guitarist and composer, he helped shape Genesis in the early 70s before opening a long solo path that mixes progressive rock, classical colours and world influences. On stage, he revisits the band years with arrangements honed across his Genesis Revisited projects, and folds in key moments from his own catalogue.

The set draws on the classic Genesis period that ran from Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot through Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. It sits alongside solo highlights like Voyage of the Acolyte and Spectral Mornings, with room for later pieces that extend his palette. Expect electric surges, atmospheric passages and intimate acoustic interludes, carried by Hackett’s sustained tones, intricate phrasing and a taste for long-form structures. Track to track, the show connects his group legacy with his personal writing, played by a band used to the detail these pieces demand.
