The albums which inspired the tour were huge successes for the progressive rock legends back in the early 70s.

‘Foxtrot’, released in October 1972, reached No. 12 in the UK charts with ‘Selling England by the Pound’ released just a year later in October 1973, reaching No. 3.

Both albums’ tours were extremely well received by critics and fans alike, earning Genesis a reputation as one of the greatest live bands in the world.

The Liverpool based tribute band, The Carpet Crawlers, bring the magic of Genesis back to life.
