G2 Definitive Genesis play Genesis music from 1970 to 1980, tending towards the Seconds Out era but drawing from all albums from Trespass to Duke. Take a little trip back....

G2 Update - January 2025

Happy New Year! - Here's to a great 2025 for all of you from G2!

Thank you for coming to our shows in 2024, we had our busiest year for some time, with some really great shows. Highlights for me included a sold-out return to Canterbury after three years away, our 1980 Duke Tour show (which I confess I hadn't expected to be such a big hit!), getting to do two nights in Tavistock, and most importantly finally getting Dave behind a drum kit (it only took 6 years to persuade him)!

We've got quite a full calendar this spring. All of our shows through to the end of the summer are on sale already, and I'm expecting to get the remaining autumn ones on sale in the coming weeks.

We start the year in just over a week's time in Norwich. We're going to bring back a few tracks we haven't played for a while and, as long as I finish learning it before this weekend's rehearsal, give Burning Rope its first airing. After proving himself in 2024 Dave's going to be bringing his drum kit with him. We think it'll be a good one!

In February we're back for two nights again at Trading Boundaries, this time with a 1978 And Then There Were Three Tour show (hence adding Burning Rope).

In April we're delighted to be returning to Barnsley after a successful debut last year, and especially to Bromsgrove. Artrix closed down very rapidly when Covid struck, but has risen from the ashes. It's a great venue for us, and we're very happy to be going back.

When we return to Putney in May we'll be doing both a matinee and an evening performance in one day (a G2 first). Two different shows, we're describing them as a 'History Of Genesis in reverse'. The matinee will showcase the best of the Collins Years (80-76) and the evening the best of the Gabriel Years (75-70). There are discounted tickets available for those of you brave enough to come for the whole day!

On Friday night at The Stables we'll be doing an idealised fantasy 1974 set, based on the Selling England tour from the start of the year, but with an additional suite of tracks off the Lamb Lies Down album that toured later the same year! On the Saturday we'll again be joined by Jamie Fisher on drums for a repeat of the 1978 show.

We have half a dozen shows already lined up for autumn 2025, with more under discussion. Keep checking the Show Dates page for updates.

Hope to see you soon!

Piers, G2
