ShareGuitar legend Steve Hackett announces his Best of Genesis & Solo Gems 2026 UK Tour with seventeen dates in October. Hackett is also excited to introduce two new members to his band; Swedish keyboard wizard Lalle Larsson, who replaces long time associate Roger King, along with Felix Lehrmann, the German drummer taking over from Craig Blundell. The 2026 tour culminates with a return visit to London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall on Monday 26th October.
“The main thing is to keep a focus on the music which drives it all, but there will be some big changes in the band,” says Hackett. “Both Craig and Roger are amazing musicians, and I know Lalle Larsson and Felix will be equally fantastic. I’ve never worked with Lalle Larsson before but he’s completely brilliant and more than qualified for the job involving recreating Genesis circa 1971 to ’77. He’s a total virtuoso. We’ve already been working with Felix Lehrmann and listening to him with Jonas Reingold on bass is like a thousand iron girders coming at you at 100mph!”
Larsson and Lehrmann will take their places in Hackett’s touring band alongside Jonas Reingold (bass, backing vocals), Nad Sylvan (vocals) and Rob Townsend (saxophone, flutes, additional keyboards). “I have some extraordinary performers in the band,” Hackett adds “and I’m very happy with this level of virtuosos. These guys are all incredible professionals.”
