Yes announced their “The Fragile Tour 2025, The Album Series” Fall 2025 dates. The progressive rock legends will perform their iconic 1971 album Fragile in its entirety at each show on the coast-to-coast U.S. tour along with other classics from their catalog.

Yes’ current lineup includes guitarist Steve Howe, keyboardist Geoff Downes, vocalist/guitarist Jon Davison, bassist Billy Sherwood and drummer Jay Schellen. Fragile, which was released in the U.K. in November 1971 and in the U.S. in January 1972, features such signature songs as “Roundabout,” “Long Distance Runaround” and “Heart Of The Sunrise.”

“All the band’s albums had a unique feel and approach,” remarked Steve Howe. “After ‘The Yes Album,’ so many things came together, with [co-producer] Eddie Offord steering the proceedings. While the band focused on only four main songs with full arrangements, each of us wrote and designed a solo piece, which was Bill [Bruford]’s great idea. It’s fairly ‘odd-ball,’ but we were at the height of our creativity, determined for success,” Howe noted regarding Fragile.

“It gave us confidence, further than our own in-stock belief, we’d crafted this unusual but noticeable musical twist to rock and what later became prog,” he added.
