Genesis is one of the world's biggest selling and most successful bands of all time. They have sold an estimated 100 million albums and have played to sold-out stadiums and arenas all over the world for decades.
The evolution of Genesis is unique, their sound developed and progressed throughout their career and with multiple line-up alterations in the early years, the classic line-up of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford took shape in 1976.
'And Then There Were Three' (1978) was the first album the band released as a three-piece and spawned the single 'Follow You Follow Me' which was their first UK top ten and US top 30 single and proved to be the start of huge commercial global success. The albums 'Duke' (1980), 'Abacab' (1981), 'Genesis' (1983), 'Invisible Touch' (1986) and 'We Can't Dance' (1991) followed for the trio, alongside almost constant global stadium tours cementing the band as one of the most successful of all time.
Tony, Phil and Mike reunited again as a band in 2007 after almost 10 years for the Turn It On Again Tour which went on to be one of the biggest grossing tours on the year playing sold-out stadiums around the world.
2021 will see Genesis tour for the first time in 14 years, in North America, the UK, and Ireland.

Phenomenal concert. No covid nonsense or masks, just the greatest band ever bringing it like always. Fantastic set list and first class performance.
Easy entry with tickets in my Wallet & COVID vaccination card saved in my Notes. Everyone wore masks, concert was awesome!
The 16th was a "add-on show" so no VIP provisions - No separate VIP Entrance - No "Special Not for sale anywhere" items AND Most Importantly NO LAMINATED TICKET with Lanyard! Of course TM Policy is: "pick up on the day or it's lost forever" - with NOTHING in place if there was NO WAY to pick up your special items. ALWAYS the customers faulty if TM screws them over. Great seats but never got a chance to sit down!
Speakers were a little too loud for the arena size, stage was kind of low for floor seats (tough to see above all the standing heads), and if you want to smoke weed at a show here, know that everyone else was doing it; no problem by me. I still enjoyed the show and would go back again, although I might opt for Loge seating next time so I can see the stage without standing on my tip toes lol
After having seen Genesis with my wife the night before on the floor, I had the opportunity to see the band again on their second night at an incredibly reasonable price, so I went by myself to catch them one last time. While I was about 20 rows from the stage the night before, I was about 40 rows back on the floor the second night. While I was able to see plenty of the stage from my newer seat, I constantly had my view blocked by people who were more interested in chatting with their girlfriend than actually listening to the music, or other annoyances. While the performance by Genesis was on par with the night before, the overall enjoyment of the night was slightly lessened compared to the night before, but for the price I paid and the very good seats I had, I still came away with an overall very enjoyable night.
My wife and I were on the floor of the TD Garden, about 20 rows from the front of the stage. We had an excellent view of the stage, and I was able to enjoy the over two hour show, seeing Genesis live for the first time in 14 years, the last time they performed live. Even with Phil Collins unable to walk the stage, the band figured out an excellent arrangement, with his son, Nic, playing drums excellently, with Daryl Stuermer, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks all being reliably superb during the concert. After seeing that show, I was convinced to return the next night to see them a second night in a row!
I have seen many Genesis shows over the last 40 years and they still rock. It’s tough getting older and seeing your favorite band getting older. Thanks Phil for giving us one more great show.
I love the new UBS Arena. This was my first concert since COVID hit. We had awesome seats section 102 which was on the side of the stage but you saw everything. Phil Collins was really good. I just wish he would have done some Phil Collins music along with the Genesis music
It was my first time seeing Genesis live, and they did not disappoint, Phil, Tony, Mike were fantastic And Phil Collins son on the drums "blew it up" he will have a great career, sounded so much like his Dad
First concert at the new UBS Arena - $55 for general parking is outrageous. This should not be allowed. Going forward I will not attend any more events at this venue - there are plenty other options in the NY/NJ area
