After their hugely successful Classic Tales Of Yes UK Tour in 2024, Progressive Rock legends, YES, return to the UK once more for a 9-date trek across the country.
The tour will see YES performing their 1971 classic album, Fragile, in its entirety, including such timeless songs as "Heart of the Sunrise", "South Side of the Sky" and the much loved "Roundabout" as well as a selection of songs from right across their illustrious catalogue from their legendary 70`s releases right up to their current album, Mirror To the Sky.
Fragile was the fourth album by YES cracking the Top 10 in the UK in 1971, achieving Platinum status along the way and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman. The single, "Roundabout" was a Top 20 hit in the States, with the album breaking into the Top five on the Billboard chart receiving a Double Platinum certification in the process.
"After The Yes Album, everything seemed to align. With Eddie Offord co-producing, and each of us contributing solo pieces, Fragile became a bold statement of creativity. It was Bill Bruford’s idea to include individual showcases—it was a bit oddball, but it captured the spirit of the time."
Steve Howe
Each show will feature a gallery of work by esteemed artist, Roger Dean, whose paintings have graced the covers of many of YES albums over the years. Fragile was the first YES album to feature Dean`s iconic artwork.
The current line-up of YES features Steve Howe, whose association with Yes began in 1970, along with Geoff Downes, a member of the 1980 ‘Drama’ era line-up. Jon Davison has been lead vocalist in Yes since 2012 while bassist, Billy Sherwood, who was hand-picked by original bassist Chris Squire, has been involved with YES since 1990`s. Jay Schellen, who worked closely with Alan White on drums, completes the line-up.
