The Classic Tales of Yes Tour 2024 covers 50 years of music

Following their recent acclaimed tour in the USA, progressive rockers Yes has announced European dates for The Classic Tales of Yes Tour 2024. The trek kicks off April 30th in Lisbon, Portugal with stops in Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, and more before wrapping with previously announced UK tour dates.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, December 8th at 10 am GMT/11 am CET.

The Classic Tales of Yes Tour 2024 will include many iconic tracks from the Yes back catalog covering 50-plus years. The tour will also include a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Tales from Topographic Oceans as well as music from their current album Mirror To The Sky.

The evening will begin with an on-site presentation by world-renowned artist and designer Roger Dean, whose masterful artwork of striking other-worldly landscapes has graced classic album covers and posters, most prominently by Yes and Asia. Every show will feature a Roger Dean gallery in the venue’s reception/foyer area. His work – which also appears on the cover of their current album Mirror to the Sky – has sold more than one hundred million copies worldwide.

“We’re all excited to be bringing our show home to Europe and the UK!” says frontman Steve Howe, “We’ve selected a new playlist of Yes music but with some firm favourites in there too, of course! To keep our performances fresh, we ‘now’ carry our own lights, so we can present a consistent show each night, designed for us by William …….. Looking forward to seeing you out there!”

“We are very much looking forward to the 2024 European leg of our Yes Classic Tales Tour,” adds keyboardist Geoff Downes. “Having recently completed the US, we are now really excited to bring that out to all our fans in the UK and Europe. It promises to be one of our most interesting sets to date, scanning through much of Yes’ history and with some previously unheard pieces as well as music from our latest album, Mirror To The Sky. Bring it on and see you all out there!”
