Peter Gabriel announces rare North American tour in support of new album “i/o”

Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel today announced a North American tour — his first in more than a decade — in support of his forthcoming new studio album i/o, unveiling 12 dates in the U.S. and Canada this September and October with at least a dozen more shows to come.

The shows announced today follow Gabriel’s previously unveiled European tour this May and June, and begin Sept. 8 in Quebec and run through an Oct. 13 concert in Los Angeles, with stops in between in Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago and more.

See full dates below.

A presale for those shows begins at noon Eastern today, March 7 — with the general on-sale following at 10 a.m. local time Friday, March 10. See petergabriel.com for full ticketing details.

But there will be more North American shows. In email to fans, Gabriel’s team advises: “Stay tuned for future tour date announcements in Washington, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Denver, Austin, Dallas and Houston.”

The tour will find Gabriel joined by longtime bandmates Tony Levin, David Rhodes and Manu Katché.

Gabriel has not yet announced a release date for i/o, his first album of new music since 2002’s Up. But he has released several new songs, including “Panopticom,” “The Court” and — just this week — “Playing for Time.”

You can hear all three of those new tracks below.
