Yes Announces 50th Anniversary North American Tour

Legendary prog-rock act Yes will celebrate their 50th anniversary over the course of an upcoming North American Tour. The group kicks off the 30+ date run on June 5 and are currently scheduled to stay on the road through late July.

Guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, keyboardist Geoff Downes, vocalist Jon Davison and bassist Billy Sherwood are expected to perform “a special classic hits concert” at each stop. “Much has changed since I joined Yes in 1970, but the core elements of the band have remained consistent,” said Howe in a statement announcing the dates. “We want to mark this anniversary with a tour that encompasses some of our best-loved work and revisit a few classic pieces that have been lost for a while. We look forward to sharing the 50th anniversary with the fanbase, playing classic songs that celebrate the broad musical style of Yes.”

Yes begins the tour with two nights at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois on June 5 – 6. From there, the band plays shows in Michigan, Missouri, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, California, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Washington D.C. and Orlando before the current tour-closer in Atlanta on July 28.

Stay tuned for additional dates to be added to the run.
