Genesis returned to the stage for one final large-scale run with their The Last Domino? tour. According to the band’s official announcements and tour history, the reunion shows in 2021 and 2022 were billed as a farewell to touring for Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford.
The Last Domino? Tour route
The The Last Domino? tour was announced in early 2020, with the initial dates planned for arenas in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The schedule was subsequently reshuffled because of pandemic restrictions, pushing the live return into late 2021 when shows could safely take place again.
For fans based in Germany, the key anchor of the tour was a series of arena concerts in major cities such as Berlin and Cologne. These dates confirmed that Genesis still commanded substantial audiences in the German market decades after their first chart successes there, underlining the band’s enduring rock and pop appeal.
How the reunion took shape
When Genesis prepared The Last Domino? tour, the lineup featured core members Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, with Nic Collins on drums and longtime collaborator Daryl Stuermer on guitar and bass. Phil Collins performed seated due to health issues, while Nic Collins handled the majority of the drumming duties.
The show structure combined material from the progressive rock era and the later, more straightforward pop-rock period. This meant the setlist could move from early long-form pieces into concise singles that had dominated radio and television in the 1980s and early 1990s, offering a cross-section of the group’s catalog.
