Steve Hackett brings Genesis classics to York on 23 October
Steve Hackett will bring his Best of Genesis & Solo Gems concert to York Barbican on Friday, 23 October 2026, with the show listed to run from 6.30pm to 11pm.
The Visit York event listing gives the venue location as YO10 4NT, York, City of York, England, United Kingdom. Ticket prices are not listed in the source information, but booking is directed through the Visit York website.
This is one for Genesis listeners, progressive rock fans and anyone who has followed Hackett’s solo career beyond the classic 1970s albums.
A York return built around Genesis and solo material
The concert is billed as Steve Hackett – Best of Genesis & Solo Gems, a career-spanning set that brings together Genesis songs from Hackett’s time with the band and selected material from his solo albums.
According to the event listing, it has been 12 years since Hackett brought his classic Genesis Revisited show to the venue. That earlier UK tour culminated in a 2013 performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, later released as a live DVD.
The 2026 show is framed differently. Rather than focusing on one album, the listing says Hackett will perform “the very best” of Genesis songs from across his career with the band, alongside classic solo material. For local audiences, that makes the York date a broad survey rather than a narrow anniversary night.
Who is playing at York Barbican
Hackett will be joined by his established live band for the York date. The named line-up includes Jonas Reingold on bass, guitar and backing vocals, Rob Townsend on saxophone, flutes, additional keyboards and backing vocals, and Nad Sylvan on vocals.
The listing also names Lalle Larsson on keyboards and Felix Lehrmann on drums. Together, the band is presented as the live group behind Hackett’s recent concert-hall returns to Genesis material, including shows that have revisited classic albums from the catalogue.
The source text notes that Hackett’s recent tours have brought several Genesis albums back to concert halls, with the 2025 tour featuring The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. The York event now moves into a broader “best of” format for 2026.
