Peter Gabriel will play Dublin in 2023 as part of his first European tour in nearly a decade.
The former Genesis front man brings his new i/o - The Tour to the 3Arena on 25 June for the final night of his first tour outside of North America since 2014's Back to Front Tour, which celebrated his massively successful album, So.
i/o - The Tour starts in Krakow, Poland on 18 May 2023, with dates in Italy, France, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, and the UK and it will see Gabriel playing new material from his forthcoming album i/o, as well as hits from his back catalogue.
"It’s been a while and I am now surrounded by a whole lot of new songs and am excited to be taking them out on the road for a spin. Look forward to seeing you out there." Gabriel said.
Tickets from €67.45 including booking fee go on sale at 10am Friday 11 November 2022 at Ticketmaster.ie.
Gabriel first came to international prominence with the success of Genesis, a band that he co-founded while still at school.
Since leaving Genesis in 1975, his recording career has included eleven studio albums, film soundtracks for Alan Parker's Birdy, Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ and Philip Noyce’s Rabbit Proof Fence as well as numerous live albums.
He has also won numerous Grammy Awards and founded Real World Studios in the UK and the formation of the Real World Records label.
In 1980 he helped create WOMAD, the festival that has launched the careers of many artists from around the world and has just celebrated its 40th anniversary.
Gabriel co-founded the human rights organization WITNESS in 1992, the organization that pioneers the use of cameras and technology in human rights campaigning, and in 2007, alongside Richard Branson, he founded The Elders, which was launched by Nelson Mandela.
In 2006, Gabriel was awarded the Man of Peace title by The Nobel Peace Laureates and in 2008 was also included in the Time 100 list.
