THE TOUR
In 2002 and 2003, following the release of his album "Up," Peter Gabriel went on the road with his "Growing Up" tour, once again collaborating with production designer Robert Lepage to create a spectacular and theatrical live experience. The tour took in thirty-two cities across the USA, Canada and Europe. During the tour, Peter Gabriel performed in both indoor arenas and outdoor stadiums, showcasing his unique stage presence and innovative use of technology.

One of the highlights of the "Growing Up" tour was the use of innovative stage designs and visual effects. The stage featured a circular, revolving platform, allowing the musicians and performers to move around dynamically. The set also included large video screens that displayed captivating visuals and live footage throughout the concert.

Peter Gabriel is known for his theatrical and artistic approach to live performances, and this tour was no exception. The show featured stunning lighting effects, elaborate costumes, and choreographed performances, creating a mesmerizing visual experience for the audience.

The setlist for the "Growing Up" tour included songs from his "Up" album, as well as classic hits from his earlier solo career, and a few songs from his time with Genesis. Some of the fan-favorite songs performed during the tour included "Solsbury Hill," "Sledgehammer," "In Your Eyes," "Red Rain," and "Games Without Frontiers."

The "Growing Up" tour received critical acclaim for its innovative staging and exceptional musicianship. It was also praised for Peter Gabriel's powerful and emotive performances, which captivated audiences worldwide. Many fans and critics considered it one of the most memorable and impressive tours of that period.

As the tour progressed, live recordings and concert footage were released, including the 2003 DVD and CD release titled "Growing Up Live," which captured the essence of the tour for those who couldn't attend the live performances.
