European tour dates - updated March 31:
There have been some changes in the schedule for the upcoming European tour. Rome, Italy, has been added - and the gig in Poland is in Katowice, not Warsaw as many sources say. Genesis also play an additional gig in Bielefeld, Germany, on March 31. The Copenhagen show on April 1 has unfortunately been cancelled.
