On March 1st, 2026 at Au-Rene Theater at The Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, Steve Hackett took the stage.

The first set was an offering of Steve’s solo work, driving and progressive arrangements that kept the room engaged and thrilled to hear his unique style of performance. The second set consisted of Genesis songs Steve performed while with the band. At this point the room was in a roar. Steve Hackett delivered an entertaining night for concert goers.
