apparently there is no support act for the Old Trafford gig.
My tickets arrived today,looking forward to it.
No support act 
- are they going to play for a long time then? It would be a long drive just for an hour or so.....

thanks for all the info
In terms of the time Genesis will actually play, it's very good - quite a bit longer than most bands, but with an expensive stadium gig I'd still expect a couple of support bands.... I was hoping for a reasonably big name as main support as well - I'm a bit disappointed

i post a lot on the genesis-music.com forums,and a lot of us are going to be watching Genesis open the Live Earth gig beforehand(we are hoping that the bbc will be showing the concert on the big screen in exchange square, manchester ) so that could be why getting support acts would be a nightmare,a lot of reasonably big names are on the line up of that concert.

Now that would be Genesis back! Instead we have a average pop group wandering around on tour.

well according to an article from the italian news agency,Mike Rutherford has been speaking to Peter and Mike said this in the article.
Peter said "I have fear to return in the room that I have left many years ago"
Mike reply: ""But we are great friends and therefore..."

... and therefore let's leave the possibility, however unlikely, to boost ticket sales because people will go just in case!

well in interviews they havent ruled it out,so its neither a yes or a no,i would reckon they would want to get the european and North america selection of shows(cough tour cough) out of the way before deciding on what the future brings.
so there may be hope yet.
Does anyone know what time they are due on stage at Old Trafford. The tickets say that doors open at 4.30 but I can't see any other time metioned.
hhmm at the price of tickets I would expect at least one support act.
Bit of a rip off if it's just Genesis for 2 hours 30 mins and nothing else.
Still got my tickets for OT and will be there. for those interested the set list is on NME - http://www.nme.com/news/genesis/28959

Thanks for the link, bluezman
I feel a bit cheated about no support too. We've got a long drive for just 2 and a half hours....

2 1/2 hours of the original lineup would be worth it surely ?
I have tickets for Old Trafford. Does anyone know what time the gates will open ? I think I read 7pm somewhere but would like to know the start end time so I can arrange transport.
I have read that Peter Gabriel was amenable to playing a small number of shows but would not commit to a long tour.
I don't want to put the cat among the pigeons so I hope I can offer an opinion without it appearing too judgmental or upsetting anyone. For me, Peter Gabriel's music has moved light years away, above and beyond Genesis. I'm sure they enjoy greater commercial success etc., but there you have it.
