Will this be the last flip of the concert switch for Genesis?
The veteran British prog-rock group’s latest reunion tour, Genesis The Last Domino?, sees the band pull into Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on Nov. 25, the Toronto Sun has learned.
It’s the first time vocalist Phil Collins, 70, bassist-guitarist Mike Rutherford, 70, and keyboardist Tony Banks, 71, have toured as Genesis on this side of the pond in 14 years since 2007’s Turn It On Again: The Tour.
More recently, Collins, using a cane and staying seated in a swivel chair for the entire show, came to Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena for a 2018 solo date with his son, Nic Collins, on drums as he was physically unable to play after a recent fall combined with other previous health issues.
Nic will be behind the drum kit for the latest Genesis trek along with the band’s long-time touring lead guitarist and bass player Daryl Stuermer.
The tour is being put on by EMC Presents, a partnership between Toronto’s award-winning tour promoter and producer Michael Cohl and CTS Eventim, an international provider of ticketing services and live entertainment.
