John Hackett Band + Dikajee & Forgotten Gods

John Hackett is the multi-instrumentalist brother of Steve Hackett of Genesis fame. They have worked together on and off over the years with John regularly appearing on Steve’s albums. Their first major collaboration was on The Voyage of The Acolyte which will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. John's work featured right throughout the album and the 2025 tour will contain several songs from the album in recognition. In his own right, John and his band have released many albums down through the years and are rightly considered one of the top acts on the UK prog circuit with astounding musicians such as Nick Fletcher on lead guitar, Duncan Parsons on the drum throne and percussion whilst the dexterous Jeremy Richardson weaves his magic on the bass.
