Following a string of sensational performances across Europe, former Genesis frontman turned iconic solo star Peter Gabriel is gearing up for his highly anticipated UK dates on his ‘i/o – The Tour.’

The European leg of the tour kicked off in Krakow, Poland on May 18, 2023, followed by a series of shows that have garnered tremendous acclaim and captivated fans across the continent. The mesmerizing performances, showcasing new material from his forthcoming album i/o, Gabriel’s mastery of the stage, combined with his phenomenal catalogue of music, has left audiences in awe and eager for more.

Reviews of the European shows have been among the best in Gabriel’s storied career. The Times led the way with “As a spectacle, it is world class, wondrous, stunningly staged and outstandingly well performed,” before declaring that “[PG] sings with soul, control and undiminished power.” The Guardian’s critique was equally enthusiastic, saying “Proof that the gamble his new tour represents – “une expérience live atypique” as Gabriel puts it during one of his halting speeches – is paying off.” Elsewhere, The Daily Telegraph’s review suggested Gabriel’s show was “Musically enthralling and visually spectacular… some of the most powerful music of his long career, ready to push an audience as far as it will go and ultimately reward them with something they won’t forget in a hurry.”

As Gabriel’s European dates draw to a close, anticipation is mounting for the UK leg of the tour. Fans across the United Kingdom are eagerly awaiting their chance to witness the magic of Peter Gabriel’s live performance. The upcoming UK dates promise to be a real celebration, blending new material and beloved hits, in a spectacular musical and visual feast.
