Music News - Steve Hackett - Genesis legend to play first ever New Zealand show
22 March 2017 - 0 Comments
As
the powerhouse guitarist for inarguably one of the most important progressive
rock bands ever, Steve
Hackett has been a guiding influence for musicians and
guitarists for over 40 years.
To the great regret of the band, Genesis never made it to New Zealand, so finally Hackett is making it up to fans by
bringing some Genesis magic to our shores, playing Auckland’s Town Hall
on July 28.
Genesis classics Dance
On A Volcano, Eleventh
Earl Of Mar and Afterglow have never been performed here, and Hackett’s incendiary guitar work on a
magnum opus such as Dancing
With The Moonlit Knight will have jaws dropping.
In this special one-off show, Hackett will also perform a couple of songs from
his forthcoming album, The Night Siren, before whetting the appetite for a grand finale
that will leave fans ecstatic.
“I'm thrilled to bring my Genesis
Revisited tour to New Zealand. I'll be playing there for the
first time and I'm hugely looking forward to it! It'll be great to meet fans
and friends, and I know it's an incredibly beautiful country. I'm bringing a
special set, including big favourites like Supper's Ready, The Musical Box and Firth of Fifth amongst many other stellar Genesis numbers and some solo. I can't wait!” says
the legendary guitarist.
Steve Hackett is renowned for his dazzling guitar playing but his world class
band is equal to the task, presenting extraordinarily proficient performances,
sensitive to the original recordings yet adding very clear nuances and
personality to the music.
It’s in no way an understatement to say that fans of exceptional music are in
for the concert of a lifetime.
