Have fun! I'll save my money for Ray, Steve and The Watch instead.
fair enough
All of them worth going but none of them are Genesis and this may be the last time to see them. And a chance to say goodbye

Also, there a lot of Red tape & Visa issues now with touring Europe, so that was a likely factor also in not announcing any European dates originally.
some procedures are even worse when touring the US, so this should not be a problem. I just think we do not see more shows this spring as they just want to proceed towards London and it was a good idea to throw some shows in.
I also hope they will film all nights in London.

I think they had multiple plans. Rumours about blocked stadiums are surely not entirely false, but I guess the London shows plus Phil’s wish not to extend this too much made them improvise a bit. Big promoters always have some venues at hand so the option for the March indoors didn’t get them unprepared

The European shows would never have happened without the London reschedules. Of course they had plans for more legs but Phil just don’t want to do this anymore. Which I can understand. So with three shows pushed into 2022, they had the opportunity to please some fans in mainland Europe
if you look at the 2022 schedule, I think Glasgow won’t be rescheduled anymore. There’s no space. Also little options for extra shows. Perhaps Berlin and Amsterdam …
my feeling is: This is it … -

Genesis themselves (or their social media anyway) haven't actually said anything about the Belfast/Dublin gigs being cancelled yet have they?
That would suggest something else is being planned. They definitely would have made a statement if they were being cancelled and nothing else was being put in place.
the cancellation was sent out by venues and ticket sellers and they won’t do this without reason. Whatever comes next, I assume Genesis wont play in Ireland / Northern Ireland any more

Shame, doesn't bode well for any further Europe dates.
let's wait .... Don't think they will only do three London shows and possibly Glasgow in March. There will most likely be more gigs around that time.
-
Tickethoders of the Belfast and Dublin shows were informed that this show has now been cancelled. They were not able to reschedule this one.

Montreal 11/23. 6th Row. Birthday gift from my wife and kids. They even paid for parking. lol
parking is sometimes a third of the overall costs

Peter and Anna Gabriel are currently in Italy, promoting Anna's new photo book "Eye-D".
A few impressions from the first (private) evening can be found in our news item here:

I have added the Brooklyn show as an option for voting on page 1 of this thread. You can add this / change your vote any time.

The Glasgow show has not been rescheduled yet, but when they do, it will be in the OVO HYDRO
Which is the same venue, but the sponsor changed

I saw 14 shows across the Atlantic (London 2003 included) and all shows were full, some sold out.
But - UP was 10 years after US and Peter hasn't been touring for 8 years. At the time he said he was testing waters in North America. Since that worked, they added European shows and then this tour went on forever.
(my prsonal best shows on that tour were Montreal II, Cologne and Brighton)
After that, Peter toured a lot and enjoyed unexpected success with Scratch My Back, so I wouldn't guess it's that reason why he didn't release new music.

I'm going to guess that if they do want to expand this out, they want to make sure that countries are fully open. There are still restrictions in Ireland on large events. I'm thinking there must be in Germany also as they have 4000 Covid cases a day compared to our 50,000! We will be re-introducing restrictions again here soon if we aren't careful. Hopefully it will be business as usual by March.
at the moment the situation is different in Germany - depending on the region. Events can take place. Less that 1,000 spectators is not a problem, above that some venues to Cured or Vaccinated only restrictions. And I expect that to happen for 2022, since larger shows have been announced.
At the moment, you cannot enter a pub or restaurant without showing proof od vax, being cured or tested (again, depends on the region), but in general everything open again.

assuming they won't do more than 20 shows in one go, we habe three London shows, one Glasgow and Belfast and two Dublin.
So approx 13 are left. That's not a lot for mainland Europe.
