Genesis Adds More 2022 Dates to Reunion Tour

Genesis — Phil Collins, Michael Rutherford, and Tony Banks — have added two more dates to the 2022 edition of their reunion tour. On Oct. 25, they announced nine concerts, representing the first European dates of the tour. On Oct. 29, the day those shows went on sale, the band announced two additional concerts, due to demand. The 11 concerts – in Germany, France and the Netherlands – precede three London concerts that were rescheduled when Rutherford tested positive for Covid-19. See the itinerary below. Tickets for all shows are on sale  here .

On Oct. 8, the band postponed the final four dates of the U.K. edition of their 2021 reunion tour. (On Oct. 19, the shows at The O2 in London were rescheduled for March 2022. The announcement made no mention of the Oct. 8 show in Glasgow.) Though neither announcement identified who had taken ill, the touring band consists of the three veterans, plus Collins’ son, Nic, who serves as their drummer, as well as longtime Genesis touring band member, Daryl Stuermer, returns on guitar and bass.

At the time of the Oct. 19 announcement of the new London dates, Best Classic Bands wrote, “Given the enormity of the undertaking, it’s not unreasonable to expect that the group will decide to extend their reunion tour further into 2022, perhaps to Europe as well as other parts of North America beyond the east coast.”

In a Nov. 15 interview with USA Today , Banks neither confirmed nor denied that. “When we do the final show next year, that will be it,” he said. “We thought the 2007 tour would be the end, and this was never planned, so it was a nice thing to have happened. But it’s important to know when to stop something. So I’d say if you want to see Genesis, don’t put it off ‘til the next one. We’re not like the (Rolling) Stones.”

The U.K. leg of The Last Domino? tour began Sept. 20 in Birmingham and played for 12 shows before being suspended after their Oct. 7 concert in Glasgow.

The North American tour began Nov. 15. (Tickets are available  here .) The 21 shows are the first time in 14 years that the band has visited North America, when they reunited for 2007’s Turn It On Again tour. See the listing below.

On Jan. 22, 2021, they rescheduled their U.K. reunion tour a second time, due to the global pandemic. The dates, originally planned for November and December 2020 in the U.K. and Ireland have been pushed back to September and October 2021. (On July 24, 2020, the band moved the tour to April 2021. The magnitude of the pandemic proved those dates to be too premature.) See the revised schedule and new rehearsal teaser below.

From the Jan. 22 statement: “The decision to move the tour again is due to the global pandemic, and even with the roll out of the vaccine, there are still a huge amount of uncertainties and unanswered questions that make a tour in April difficult for everyone. It is appreciated, that for whatever reason, those planning on attending the shows may not feel comfortable doing so, so by moving the tour we can alleviate some of those concerns and in turn that will allow the band and the crew to prepare with less unpredictability and create a show that both the band and fans alike will treasure and enjoy.

Watch the rehearsal teaser of “Behind the Lines,” released on Jan. 22

In the earlier joint statement on Jan. 22, Collins, Banks and Rutherford said: “Well let’s just forget about that last year and focus on 2021 shall we! We can’t wait to finally get this show on the road, but we feel the decision to move the tour is the best one for those planning on attending and for us as a band and crew. We hope now we can all relax a little more and focus on the music and having a good night.”

Many tours have been delayed to 2022 or canceled altogether.

On April 1, 2021, Live Nation U.K. released a brief clip for the tour.

The day before, the station teased their “exclusive reveal” that “a massive band is reuniting.” That same day, the group posted a photo of the trio on their Instagram account with just the phrase, “And then there were three…”

Genesis fans will certainly recognize that that was the name of the band’s 1978 album, their first as a threesome. Collins, Rutherford and Banks last toured together in 2007.

There was no indication whether the tour would be extended to other countries.

The trio was seen at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Jan. 22, 2020, when they attended a Knicks game though, oddly, Collins was not seated with the other two. At that time, speculation was rife that the group would reunite.

The group’s original frontman, Peter Gabriel, who left the band in 1975 for a successful solo career, is not involved. (He’s appeared with the group on stage several times since his departure.)

Genesis concerts are known for having spectacular light shows. Best Classic Bands asked Banks about that. “Great lighting effects can carry the music along and present more of a show,” he said. “If you got it right, you heightened the emotion of the music. I’m not the most visual person onstage,” he added with a laugh.

Due to severe issues with his back, Collins, who turned 70 on January 30, is no longer able to drum. He has also dealt with hip issues in recent years and now sits throughout most of his solo tour performances. They’ll be joined on this tour by Collins’ son, Nic, who has filled in for his father behind the kit during his recent solo tours. (The younger Collins turned 20 on April 21.) Longtime Genesis touring band member, Daryl Stuermer, returns on guitar and bass.

In 2018, Best Classic Bands asked Banks about an inevitable reunion. His reply: “Well, Phil is obviously not able to drum. But I never say we’ll never play together again.” Banks turned 71 on March 27.

During the band’s commercial heyday in the ’80s, Genesis had five straight studio albums reach #1 in the U.K. Though they continually earned multiple Platinum sales in the U.S., a #1 album in America eluded them. 1986’s  Invisible Touch was their top seller. The album yielded five Top 5 singles in the U.S., including the title track which became their solo U.S. #1 hit.

Even while the band was active, Collins, Rutherford and Banks each had many solo endeavors. Collins continues to sell out stadiums and arenas on his own, and has sold a reported 150 million records (albums and singles) worldwide. Between 1984-1989, he earned an astounding seven #1 solo singles in the U.S., for such songs as “Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)” and “Another Day in Paradise.”

As the leader of Mike + the Mechanics, Rutherford has carved out a second career with such favorites as “The Living Years” and “All I Need is a Miracle.” Rutherford turned 69 on October 2. Banks’ solo releases have concentrated on orchestral pieces.

Will they come to the US?

I sure wish Hackett and Peter were in. I’m not sure Phil can pull this off. Not that I would be able to get a ticket, but I’m afraid if I go, Phil is going to make me sad.

LAS VEGAS NEVADA WANTS YOU !!! WE NEED YOU BACK A.S.A.P. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Phil Collins can no longer play. This is not a good idea for fans.

Why are they not playing the west? I’m in California, and I’ve never missed a tour.

Please come to Atlanta, GA

What about us fans in the West?? Los Angeles?? Las Vegas?? We really must be included. Surely they will or this is criminal!

Yes I agree. It would be tragic and my life would be incomplete. Please! Pretty please!!!!!

I don’t see how Phil Collins can do a big tour like that considering his health problems. And that’s too much for his son to have to handle by himself.

Frail phil collins begins genesis farewell tour in birmingham, singing from chair onstage.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

“Against All Odds,” Phil Collins is soldiering on.

A frail-looking Collins finished his first show with Genesis on the group’s “The Last Domino?” tour in Birmingham Monday night, remaining seated throughout the concert.

Collins, 70, sang all of the evening’s tunes from a chair onstage, though he was not alone in that regard: The group’s guitarist Mike Rutherford also opted to play while perched on a stool at points.

The Birmingham show was the first stop on the band’s farewell tour and their first live performance in 13 years since 2007’s Turn It On Again Tour.

In the latest issue of Mojo , Collins said recently that this will be the final chance to see Genesis in concert. “This English and American tour, that will be enough for me,” he said.

Collins has struggled with his health in recent years and has been open about his physical issues heading into this tour.

Asked how he’s been prepping for months of three-hour shows, Collins told the Guardian that he hasn’t:  “I don’t do anything at all,” he said. “I don’t practice singing at home, not at all. Rehearsing is the practice. These guys [his band mates] are always having a go at me for not, but I have to do it this way.”

Collins revealed prior to starting the tour that he can “barely hold” drumsticks owing to the combination of improper technique and a spinal injury he suffered in the late aughts.

“My vertebrae have been crushing my spinal cord because of the position I drum in,” he explained. “It comes from years of playing. I can’t even hold the sticks properly without it being painful; I even used to tape the sticks to my hands to get through.”

Collins’ 20-year-old son Nic has taken over the drum throne for him. Collins called his handicap “very frustrating ’cause, you know, I’d love to be playing up there with my son,” on “BBC Breakfast” earlier this month.

Asked if the current tour is putting Genesis “to bed,” Collins said, “We’re all men of our age, and I think — to some extent — yeah, it probably is putting it to bed.”

“Just, generally, for me,” he added, “I don’t know if I want to go out on the road anymore.”

Phil Collins emotionally says goodbye to fans as he announces his final ever live show due to ill health

27 March 2022, 17:43 | Updated: 17 March 2023, 10:33

Lily Collins enjoys her father Phil Collins' last-ever show in London

By Tom Eames

Phil Collins has announced that he has played his final ever live show with Genesis - and potentially as a solo artist too - at the band's latest gig.

The 71-year-old music icon made the announcement as he performed with Genesis at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday (March 26).

Phil Collins - who recently said that he can no longer hold a drumstick after surgery on his back - said goodbye to his fans and told the crowd he will now have to get a "real job".

Genesis have reunited for their Last Domino? world tour, and had to cancel a series of gigs last year due to a Covid outbreak in the band.

Phil Collins declares this to be the last [ever] Genesis show - O2 Arena, London, 26/3/22

Phil's daughter - actor Lily Collins - paid tribute to her father after watching the gig.

She wrote on Instagram: "Tonite [sic] marks the end of an era. To have witnessed this last show was truly the memory of a lifetime and an event I shall hold in my heart forever. Endlessly grateful doesn’t begin to do it justice.

"So much love was left on that O2 stage and an even bigger amount shared between an audience who didn’t want it to end. Thank you @genesis_band for the memories, thank you dad for being such an inspiration and thank you @nic_collins for making me the proudest sister there is. 50 years of songs later and still generations more to celebrate you long after this tour has finished."

Phil has been forced to sit down on a char as he performed with Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford for their first live dates in 14 years.

The singer and drummer's nerve damage has stopped him being able to play the drums, and he has also had to walk with a stick.

He recently told The Guardian : "I don’t do anything at all. I don’t practise singing at home, not at all. Rehearsing is the practice.

"These guys are always having a go at me for not, but I have to do it this way. Of course, my health does change things, doing the show seated changes things.

"But I actually found on my recent solo tours, it didn’t get in the way; the audience were still listening and responding. It’s not the way I would have written it, but it’s the way that it is."

Phil Collins' health has been declining over the last 15 years. He suffered an injured vertebra in his upper neck, and has also battled acute pancreatitis.

Live reviews

Traveling to the nation's capital to see a concert is not something I would do for any live act except Phil Collins. Many lifelong Phil fans who have had the opportunity to see him live in his prime say that their time and money would not be worth the effort now that he is unable to stand for prolonged periods of time or play instruments. I reply to that by saying that I have never stood or played an instrument in my life, but if I could sing like Phil Collins, none of that would matter.

It certainly made no difference in the quality of the show that the 67-year-old rock star produced at the Capital One Arena to a packed house of more than 23,000 fans. My wife and I sat in the $94 nosebleed section four stories up, feeling like the two most privileged people there, just to be in the building. We have seen many shows by many high-quality acts, but the two hours offered by the incomparable performer and his fantastic band was one of the most exciting shows we have ever seen in our lives.

His touring band included his 17-year-old son, Nicholas, filling in for his dad on the drums and sounding every bit like the powerhouse percussionist his father had once been. His guitarist of four decades, Daryl Stuermer, and his bassist of more than thirty years, Leland Sklar, helped ensure the Phil Collins sound was not lost with age. The Vine Street Horns, which were most notably used on Collins’ 1996 album, Dance Into the Light, were a driving force behind the success of the show.

Collins performed the title track from that album as well as such high energy numbers as “Hang in Long Enough,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” “Something Happened On the Way to Heaven,” “I Missed Again,” and “Sussudio,” which kept the audience on the edge of excitement. Another surprise addition to the setlist was “You'll Be in My Heart,” Collins's Oscar-winning hit from the Disney animated film Tarzan.

Speaking of surprises, the highlight of the show came midway when, after Nicholas Collins performed his amazing five-minute drum solo, Phil himself, who had not publicly played the drums in about eight years, joined with Nicholas and percussionist Ritchie Garcia in an incredible drum trio tune, pounded out on the back of guitars and wooden crates. I was in awe that I actually had the opportunity to see him play the drums. It may not have been as he could once do, but it was proof that he still had the beat of the drum in his blood. It was a moment worthy of blurry eyes.

Collins also paid homage to his fifty year partnership with Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks in the legendary rock group Genesis by performing three of their more popular songs, “Throwing It All Away,” “Invisible Touch,” and “Follow You, Follow Me,” during which a montage of Genesis’s best video moments played across the giant arena screen.

Bridgette Bryant and Amy Keys, two beautiful and talented backup singers that I remember from the Going Back show, were on hand to perform with Collins on such duets as “Easy Lover” and “Separate Lives.” A particularly touching duet featured Collins singing with son Nicholas on the piano to “You Know What I Mean,” from his 1981 debut solo album, Face Value. A personal favorite, it was one of the lesser-known tunes offered in the nineteen-song setlist, but equally as adored by die-hard fans like me. Phil Collins could not turn out a song that I wouldn't know by heart. The people in the seats next to me were impressed that I knew the song and they didn’t. Other lesser-known songs included the rousing, horn-driven “Who Said I Would” from No Jacket Required, and the ballad, “Can't Turn Back the Years” from Both Sides.

Of course, no Phil Collins set would be complete without such standards as “In the Air Tonight,” “Against All Odds,” and “Another Day in Paradise,” the latter of which was written nearly three decades ago when Collins was passing through Washington DC on tour and noticed all the homeless people along the streets. The powerful song resonated with my wife and me as we saw the same thing during our trip. He closed the show with his trademark finale hit, “Take Me Home,” which was met with the last of many standing ovations during the night.

Collins made no effort to hide his physical impairment, which had no bearing whatsoever on the quality of his voice and the audience remained eternally grateful for his efforts. For my wife and me, my lifelong hero turned what would have otherwise been a miserable trip to Washington DC into an unforgettable memory that would have been forever regretted had it been missed.

The fact that I didn't go to the Genesis performance in that same venue eleven years ago remains one of the biggest regrets of my life is a testament to this. I also regret then I didn't do more to try to meet him when his assistant led me into the now extinct Roseland Ballroom in New York City eight years ago. I had a copy of my book A Real Life Fairy Tale, in which I detailed my New York City adventure, signed and ready to present to him just in case. It didn't happen even by a long shot. Nevertheless, it was an unforgettable and incredible experience. Had he been in his prime, he could not have achieved a better goal. He made us forget our troubles entirely for those two hours.

I was very thrilled to see many people of all ages eager to see Collins at the Washington show. Many came from our area, including people from such cities as Roanoke, Charlotte, NC, and Goldsboro, NC. I was especially refreshed to meet one man who flew in from Indiana with his wife to attend the show. He had seen Collins before and said he was just as good that night as he was in his prime, which helped me to affirm that my trip was worth it. October 7, 2018 will be a day forever etched in my mind as one of the happiest memories I've ever had.

Report as inappropriate

It’s been 25 years since Phil Collins graced Charlotte, NC with his presence. The last time was in December 1994 during his Both Sides tour. I was 9 years old and my mother couldn’t afford to let me go. This time, she was more generous than ever to foot the nearly $400 bill, including fees and ticket insurance, for my wife and I to see my lifelong hero in his triumphant return to our part of the country.

Against all odds, if you’ll pardon the pun, the experience was more than worth it. It was my mom, after all, who turned me onto his music from the womb. My five-year-old daughter is a third-generation fan. In the dozens of times I have been to Charlotte to see many wonderful acts, no matter how exciting they were, I secretly wished it were Phil I was going to see.

Anyone who is acquainted with me at all knows I’ve gone to ridiculously strenuous efforts to see Phil Collins twice before, in New York City in 2010 and Washington DC last year. The show was every bit as good as last year’s Washington concert, with the slight exception that “You’ll Be in My Heart” was omitted from the Charlotte show, the anthem between my daughter and me. The obscure “Can’t Turn Back the Years” was replaced by the classic hit, “Don’t Lose My Number,” an upgrade from last year.

Phil’s voice appeared to be even better than last time despite his physical disability. His son Nicholas, 18, had sharpened his skills on the drums as well, which were already flawless. His dad, whose multiple back surgeries and numb extremities have prevented him from playing any instrument for more than a decade, is getting better on his part of the “Drum Trio” portion of the show as well.

Collins, 68, beat machine gun-paced rhythms on guitar back alongside his son and percussionist Ritchie Garcia. This succeed at 10-minute drum duet between Garcia and the younger Collins that had the audience so enthralled that many, including my wife and me, did not notice the elder Collins falling backward, having missed the chair in which he was supposed to have sat. A TMZ video reveals fans gasping and two assistant rushing to his aide. Obviously, it did nothing to diminish his performance, as the second half of the show was just as good, if not better, than the first. It wouldn’t surprise me if he made it back behind the drum kit once again after all.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was backed by his longtime band including several 30 and 40-year veterans such as electric guitarists Daryl Stuermer, bassist Leland Sklar, and keyboardist Brad Cole, all greeted by the audience as old friends. Aside from father and son, the Vine Street Horns were the centerpiece of the show with moves as slick as their notes. Saxophonist George Shelby was cooler than ever on his solo during “I Missed Again.” Acoustic guitarist Ronnie Caryl was introduced as Collins’ best friend and band mate of more than 50 years.

Backup singers Amy Keys and Arnold McCullough were in rare form as the pretended to vie for Phil’s affections during “Easy Lover” by rubbing his bald head. Along with Lamont Van Hood, they were all stars in their own right. However, it was Bridgette Bryant who owned the night, getting her own standing ovation for her powerful duet with Phil on “Separate Lives.”

The rest of the two-hour set list was packed with favorites including “Against All Odds,” “Hang in Long Enough,” “Something Happened on the Way to Heaven,” “Who Said I Would,” “Dance Into the Light,” “You Can’t Hurry Love,” “Sussudio,” and “Take Me Home,” the customary encore. The entire crowd was on their feet before “In the Air Tonight” had even started. Phil stood for this one, too.

Three Genesis songs, “Invisible Touch,” “Throwing It All Away,” and “Follow You, Follow Me,” were also offered.

“We’re all still great friends,” Collins said of his Genesis band mates. “So, you never know.”

At the idea of Genesis touring again and especially of them coming to Charlotte, I and the rest of the sold-out crowd of 16,000 roared our cheers of approval. Collins responded by throwing an imaginary fishing pole and reeling us all in with anticipation.

Perhaps the most touching point of the show came when Phil joined his son at the piano to sing “You Know What I Mean,” Nicholas’s favorite of his dad’s repertoire.

“He taught himself how to play it because I couldn’t remember and I taught myself the words again,” Collins said of the track from his 1981 solo debut Face Value. “In case you don’t like it, it’s a short song. So, it will be over quickly.”

Everyone obviously felt to the contrary, cheering heartily as the song ended with a touching embrace between father and son.

My cousin Jessi Hines designed T-shirts for us that good enough for two people to stop us on the street to inquire where we purchased them. While I didn’t get to meet him as I had dreamed, I did manage to come away with two shirts, a program as well as a VIP placard and commemorative pillow in a plastic tote, given to me by a kind woman who had an extra VIP ticket.

Best of all, I brought along the two books I had written featuring my two previous Phil Collins concert experiences with the hopes of presenting them to him. They were given to the man himself, thanks to Rowanda and the superb staff at Spectrum Center. This was the best staff encounter I have ever experienced. I feel truly blessed. The capacity crowd at Charlotte was as eager as me to see Phil and he certainly made worth the quarter-century wait.

I may be young, and missed the chance to have seen Phil Collins in his prime; but that man can still perform just as well as all the youtube performances I’ve seen from when he was younger.

I had gone to the show with my dad, who wasn’t entirely the biggest fan of Phil Collins, but had been given the opportunity for this live show. As expected, most of the crowd was my dad’s age, leaving me feeling extremely out of place; but the age made no difference. The crowd was super energetic and before the show started you could feel the excitement and anticipation. It was really interesting to see the difference in atmosphere with a completely different age group, as well as the uniquely Phil Collins atmosphere. When he took the stage there was definitely more applause, with the scattered whistling, than screaming and shouting.

The quality of his music is great live as well. His voice has very little difference to his early albums, and the added effect of live instrumentation always adds more. Due to a lack of familiarity with majority of his music, I was able to simply sit back and enjoy the sounds. The crowd on the other hand was singing along to every word of each song. It may not have been my scene, but it was definitely a great experience.

He may be older, he may be sitting, but considering this was his first full concert in 12 years or so, he did amazingly well - and ably supported on the drums by his 16 (!) year old son, Nicholas - a real chip off the old block. He did his dad proud.

As a die-hard Collins fan since the beginning of his solo career, then being hooked by Genesis too, I was a little nervous about what to expect. Would memories of earlier concerts be erased by disappointment and pity by this return? Not at all - ok some of the high notes weren't there, and voices change with age, But it didn't matter - the audience supported ably. I for one throughly enjoyed the journey through the favourites that had been put together. The roof was raised so many times and the singing rang out around the arena. There were some touching moments, especially when Nick played the piano while they sat together and Phil sang 'You Know What I Mean.' An emotional evening as it was the first of the tour - the crowd welcomed him and, I hope, made him feel that the return was well worth it.

It was so good to see the familiar faces supporting too - Daryl Stuermer, Leland Sklar, Brad Cole, Harry Kim and Bridgette Bryant.

Not Dead Yet.... He certainly isn't.

You are going to love it. Amazing show of the old man. The voice remains the same. Very good band. Even sitting still in that English mood and I thought there was still plenty of gas. The name of the tour says it all: I have not died yet. He touched several successes. Only him, Michael Jackson and Paul Macartney sold, as solo artists, over 100 million "records." It's one of the geniuses of pop music. Too bad you can not enjoy the fantastic drummer. But the son seems to have inherited his talent. Best music: the first, Against all Odds. It's creepy. He stopped playing a few hits from Genesis and the song that won the Oscar, but what he played shows the hitmaker he is. It was really good to be there. The atmosphere was peaceful. Many families: from grandmas to grandchildren.

Phil Collins... what a show! Hij had zoveel aan zijn heup, nekwervel, etc. Maar hij was er! Nog steeds aan het touren op 68-jarige leeftijd! Zijn zoon achter de drums. Phil zingt nog steeds fantastisch goed! De hoge noten haalde hij soms niet, maar had het opgelost met inval van het “koortje” wat hij had meegenomen. Het hele podium stond vol met artiesten. In the air tonight, de drum! Dat vond ik geweldig! Sussudio was heel goed opgepakt door het publiek en iedereen ging los! Het einde met het lied take me home pakte mij wel. Dit is de eerste en de laatste keer dat ik deze kans had om hem live te zien! Echt een fantastische show heeft deze man neergezet!

what can I say now. It was one of the best experiences any one could bare witness too, for a man who’s almost 70 he hasn’t lost any ability what so ever, still making & producing unbelievable memories for everyone.

If anyone has any doubts about going to see him, I suggest putting the doubts to bed, because he, his son, his crew were out of this world, he gets the crowds involved in everything he does, along with producing moments where people can danceabout & sing-along.

Phil Collins is not one you want to miss, well worth every penny.

I am a first timer, even if I know well majority of his songs I didn't follow his personal life so I did not know that I would see him prostrated in a chair for the whole concert... Well I guess are things of the age, nevertheless his voice and his band really amazing (including his very talented own son at the drums ;-) ) , just in Prague it seems that they had troubles with the sound sometimes (pretty noticeable if you have more than less trainer ear).. But I am quite happy that I went, and I would give him 7 over 10 :)

I don't know where to start! From start to finish this was THE best concert I have seen all year. He started off with Against All Odds and it was on fast forward from that point on! He stood to sing In the Air Tonight but sat for the rest. His voice is still very strong and the band was awesome. His son Nick is a huge chip off the old block! He wowed everyone with his drum and piano playing. Phil only played a few concerts in the states and I feel fortunate to have seen him for the first and maybe the only time.

Let me start by saying I love Phil Collins. His voice was right on and hasn't diminished at all over the years. But I do have to say that it was sad to see him come limping out with a cane and sitting for 95 percent of the show. That being said the highlights we're Phil hand drumming on a box, his son Nick playing drums as well as Phil and Nick sitting next to Phil at the piano playing on of Nick's favorite Phil songs. Great show, hope it's not the last for Phil and hope to see more of Nick Collins soon!
