Steve Hackett: European tour dates

Last night I was at the Magma show in Paris, Le Trito. At the end of the show a dubious guy passed me a flyer promoting Steve's concert in Paris on November 7. The flyer says something like "Steve will grace us with revisiting his work in the favour of a great event which will coincide with the release of a new album!"

I see nothing about a new album on Steve's site, but it sounds awesome anyway!

I found the complete tourdates for 2009 though:

^ No - Djabe is a jazz band and they were always listed as "Djabe" on the jazz festival line-ups where they played with Steve. I assume that if they were listed as "Djabe with Steve Hackett" or something like that they would have raised much more interest. From what I know they were performing both jazz improvisations and classic Genesis stuff in an awesome manner.
