Peter Gabriel – Back To Front: So Anniversary Tour

You may call it yet another sensation: Peter Gabriel will hit the road again this fall to celebrate the 25th anniversary of So. He will reunite most members of the old line-up. Gabriel will return with the show for two further legs in Europe in spring and fall/winter 2013 and 2014

After a selection of short tours with the New Blood Orchestra within the last 2,5 years, Peter Gabriel returned on stage again with a full band, celebrating the 25th anniversary of So. Gabriel reunited with his old bandmates of 1987.

We have collected a couple of youtube-shots from the 2012 shows. If you're interested, have a look at our Back To Front youtube page.

UPDATE: Fourth leg announced for fall/winter 2014!

Line-Up:

Peter Gabriel: Vocals, Keyboards
Tony Levin: Bass
David Rhodes: Guitars
David Sancious: Keyboards
Manu Katché: Drums
Jennie Abrahamson: Vocals / Background Vocals
Linnea Olsson: Background Vocals

All North American shows are available officially as 2CDs and USB-sticks (recorded from the soundboard) at TheMusic.com! All European Shows just as 2CDs, but all customers will receive a high quality download once the shows are available. Click here for more information.
