Genesis was a band that occupied a very distinct piece of emotional territory here at hecklerspray; a territory full of Ford Sierra-driving, shirt-and-jeans wearing dullards listening to music so bad it makes us want to do a dirty protest in their faces.

Genesis were a band who pretty much sum up the dreadful stadium rock, big drumming bombastic excesses of the 1980s – the sort of music we suspect Noel Edmonds listens to on the way to the Deal Or No Deal studios. Without Genesis there’d be no Phil Collins, and if that isn’t reason enough to wish Genesis had never been invented we don’t know what is. And now – surprise surprise – Genesis have announced that they’ll be reforming for a stadium tour next year. However, the Genesis reunion tour will be taking place across Europe only, so people need to move fast to get their hands on tickets. Air tickets. Air tickets out of Europe.
