YES To Focus On Greatest Hits During 2017 Summer Tour

Famed prog-rockers Yes will embark on a Summer Tour dubbed “YESTIVAL” that is currently slated to run from August 4 to September 3. Each show will feature a setlist focusing on greatest hits from all of the band’s albums up to 1980.

“We are looking forward to presenting songs from each of the first nine studio albums, including some surprises,” said YES guitarist Steve Howe in a statement. YESTIVAL will feature special guest Todd Rundgren and support from Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy. While an initial slate of dates for the run has been detailed, additional concerts are expected to be announced soon.

YES, who will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame tomorrow, will begin the tour in Greensboro, North Carolina on August 4. From there, the band will play August shows in Boone, Upper Darby, Mashantucket, Brooklyn, Holmdel, Greensburg, Clarkston, Elgin, Cleveland, Oklahoma City, Sugar Land, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. A performance at the Tulalip Amphitheatre in Tulalip, Washington on September 3 stands for now as the final confirmed concert of the tour.
