![]() The backstory: Former Genesis members Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett aren’t taking the stage for the Genesis reunion tour, which leaves original members Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford to recapture the magic. The reunion: Genesis (November–December 2021 and spring 2022) What to expect: Socially conscious alt hip-hopīook it: The Score 25th Anniversary tour We would be a voice for the unheard, and in these challenging times, I am grateful once again, that God has brought us together.” “As I celebrate 25 years with the Fugees,” says founding member Wyclef Jean, who went on to solo acclaim, “my first memory was that we vowed, from the gate, we would not just do music, we would be a movement. The backstory: In August 2007, a year after the Fugees disbanded for a second time, Pras Michel famously declared, “You will have a better chance of seeing Osama bin Laden and Bush in Starbucks having a latte, discussing foreign policies, before there will be a Fugees reunion.” But what’s a little spat between friends? Twenty-five years after the release of The Score, which won two Grammys and has been certified seven-times platinum, the hip-hop group including Lauryn Hill will revive its cover of Roberta Flack’s “Killing Me Softly” and the innovative fusion of rapping, melody and West Indian sounds that made the Fugees one of the first alternative hip-hop acts to take root in the mainstream.

A lot of bands have come and gone in 30 years, and it makes us feel very proud about the work and craft put into it.” Throughout their chaotic career, punctuated by breakups and an ever-changing band lineup, the Robinson brothers incessantly squabbled. The backstory: “I understand everyone’s cynicism about it,” says singer Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes’ “Shake Your Money Maker 30th Anniversary” tour with his guitarist brother, Rich, original bassist Sven Pipien and a new supporting band. The reunion: The Black Crowes (November 2021–October 2022) Why we love them: Hippies on blue-eyed soul What to expect: Michael McDonald is back! Having McDonald back on the shows, says singer-guitarist and founding member Johnston, is “the cherry on top of this whole tour because it adds an aspect of musical style that we don’t normally even attempt to do … I think it’s going to be a real thrill for people to come see.” Now it’s full steam ahead for 2022, beginning in June. But October saw the Doobies release their 15th album, Liberté (sans McDonald). But then came COVID-19, which postponed the tour for more than a year, and when they finally got rolling in 2021, the virus hit the band, as well. The backstory: The Doobie Brothers had a big year planned for 2020 - induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and their 50th anniversary tour, with the return of soulful front man Michael McDonald marking the first string of concerts in which Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons, John McFee and McDonald performed together in 25 years. ![]() SeatGeek will process your order and deliver your Picturesque tickets.The reunion: The Doobie Brothers (fall 2021, summer 2022). ![]()
