Genesis have announced the dates for the North American leg of their first tour in 15 years, beginning at the BMO Field in Toronto, on September 7th. The band will perform in 13 cities across the American continent, in what is one of the most anticipated tours of the year.

"Genesis is absolutely one of the world's most exciting bands of all time," said tour promoter Michael Cohl, as the band made their announcement in New York City. "They have always been an amazing concert experience and I'm thrilled that fans will be able to see them perform again live for the first time in 15 years."

Expectations for some world-class shows have been running high, since the band revealed in November 2006 they would take the 'Turn It On Again' Tour across Europe in the summer of 2007, before heading to North America. Genesis are a band that remain forever young, whose music never fails to arouse interest despite their recent lack of exposure. It is expected that the band will give the people what they truly want, as they work through their much-loved catalogue of all-time rock favorites. Tickets are expected to sell-out very quickly, as fans across two generations clamor to see their heroes perform live in the flesh after a decade and a half out of the spotlight. More shows are expected to be announced, and ticket availabilty details will be released accordingly.
