Genesis supported their 1997 album Calling All Stations with a 47-date European tour from 29 January to 31 May 1998, featuring shows in large arenas throughout Europe.[1][2] The core trio of lead vocalist Ray Wilson, keyboardist Tony Banks, and guitarist/bassist Mike Rutherford were joined by Israeli musician Nir Zidkyahu on drums, percussion, and backing vocals and Irish musician Anthony Drennan on guitar and bass.[1][2] This was the only tour with Wilson, Zidkyahu and Drennan, as well as the first since 1978 not to feature longtime singer/drummer Phil Collins or touring members Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson as part of the lineup. Rehearsals took place at Bray Film Studios in Windsor and the Working Men's Club in Chiddingfold, England close to the band's recording studio.[1][2] The tour concluded with spots at the Rock am Ring and Rock im Park Festival in Germany.[1][2] A majority of the older songs were transposed in a lower key to accommodate Wilson's lower vocal range. Midway through the set included an acoustic medley of songs from their 1970s output.[1][2][3]
A 23-date North American tour in large arenas was booked to start in November 1997 but it was cancelled due to insufficient ticket sales,[1][2] along with a revised 20-date schedule in smaller venues.[1][2] At the European tour's conclusion, Genesis went on hiatus; Wilson was later informed by Banks and Rutherford that the band would not be continuing. It would be the band's final full-length tour until Collins returned for the 2007 Turn It On Again reunion tour. The tour is captured live on the promotional album Calling Radio Stations, and various unofficial albums.[4]
