Genesis — aka Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks — are returning to Pittsburgh.

On Thursday, the rock trio announced North American dates for The Last Domino? Tour. The band, who’ve had hits like “Invisible Touch,” “Land of Confusion” and “That’s All,” are scheduled to play PPG Paints Arena on Dec. 13.

It’s the first time the band has played Pittsburgh — and North America — since 2007.

Genesis will return to the road in Europe on Sept. 15 and begin the North American trek in Chicago on Nov. 15.

Presale registration for Pittsburgh and other North American shows is open now through Sunday at 11:59 p.m. via the band’s website. After that, tickets will move to a presale for Ticketmaster Verified Fans on May 5. General tickets will be available starting May 7.

Along with the three main members, Genesis will be joined by Phil’s son, Nic Collins, on drums and guitarist Daryl Stuermer.

In 2007, the band’s setlist included popular songs like “Turn It On Again,” “Follow You Follow Me,” “Throwing it All Away” and “Tonight Tonight Tonight,” as well as longer works like “Mama” and “Home By the Sea.”

In 2010, Genesis was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
