In support of the upcoming 25th anniversary of the multi-platinum selling 'So' album, Peter Gabriel will be doing a short N. American tour, hitting 13 cities from mid-September into early October.

The album spawned some of Gabriel’s biggest hits, including 'In Your Eyes', 'Don’t Give Up' (featuring Kate Bush), and 'Sledgehammer', which went on to win 9 MTV awards and, as of 2011, is still the most played music video in MTV history.

The tour, entitled 'Back To Front', will feature members of the original 'So' touring band as they perform the album from beginning to end as well as other of his biggest hits.

Tickets for the event will be available in the next few days via Ticketmaster and LiveNation.

Hard to believe it's been 25 years since the song, 'Sledgehammer' was released by Peter Gabriel. The music video was one of the best on MTV, and VH-1 during the 1980s.

Sledgehammer hit #1 on the Billboard Pop chart the week of July 26, 1986
