Fans can look forward to an exciting mix of classics and popular live songs.

Wilson, who joined Genesis in 1997 replacing Phil Collins, has had a successful career. His time with the band was marked by a major stadium tour following the release of the album “Calling All Stations”. With hits like “The Divining Line” the evening is sure to be a feast for the ears. The show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are already on sale.

A look at Ray Wilson's career

Wilson not only has the genes of a singer, but also those of a storyteller. The Scottish musician has masterfully brought the emotions that his songs convey onto the stage. His time at Genesis inevitably played him into the hearts of fans, and now he brings this passion to Diepholz.

While Wilson will score points with his famous songs, the latest cinematic event “Ray” reminds us of the power of music in another dimension. The biographical drama is about Ray Charles, the soul musician whose life and career was characterized by ups and downs in the 1950s and 1960s. The film, released in 2004 and directed by Taylor Hackford, vividly depicts the challenges and triumphant moments of Charles' life, including his struggles with drug addiction and his impressive musical achievements. An interesting fact: The film was made on a budget of $40 million and grossed $124 million worldwide, a clear demonstration of the enduring fascination with the music and life of Ray Charles.

Ray Wilson's upcoming tour will not only pump out tunes, but also keep alive the history of music that bridges generations. So, dear music lovers, get ready for an unforgettable evening with one of the big names in rock history!
