British rock band Genesis has announced that they’ll be reuniting for their first tour since 2007’s Turn It On Again 40th-anniversary tour.

Genesis’ last tour was 13 years ago and at the time, member Phil Collins said it would be the band’s final farewell.

The band hinted on their Instagram page that something was happening with a photo of Collins, Banks, and Rutherford captioned, “And then there were three…,” an ode to the band’s first album as a trio.

On Wednesday morning, the band’s member, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford, announced on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 breakfast show that they’d be performing across the UK in 2020.

Joining them onstage will be Daryl Stuermer, the band’s longstanding associate, on guitar and bass and Collins’ 18-year-old son Nicholas on drums.

Genesis’ founding member, Peter Gabriel, who left the band in 1975, won’t be part of the tour.
