The nine date tour will begin at Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow on the 22nd April and end with a two date run at the London Palladium in May.
It has been announced that Progressive Rock legends, YES, recently returned from the USA where they performed 31 shows on their Fragile Tour across the country will now bring the tour to the UK this April and May.
The tour will see the group performing their 1971 album Fragile in its entirety including songs such 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 catalogue from their legendary 70`s releases right up to their current album, ‘Mirror To the Sky’.
‘Fragile’ was the group’s fourth studio album, which achieved Platinum status along the way and was the first to feature keyboardist Rick Wakeman.
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.
Steve Howe said: We are all looking forward to the UK dates and will be presenting an intriguing first set then all of Fragile, in its entirety then a slight diversion before our usual final encore. See you all then.”
