Band has announced nine dates
Progressive legends Yes have announced UK dates for the Classic Tales of Yes Tour 2024. The nine UK dates include a visit to London’s Royal Albert Hall and the Bristol Beacon together with seven dates rescheduled from the 2023 UK tour, for which all tickets remain valid.
Yes is delighted to include the Royal Albert Hall among their 2024 UK tour dates having first played this prestige venue in 1968 and many times since through their illustrious career. Tickets for the Royal Albert Hall show on Tuesday, June 4, 2024 and Bristol Beacon on Friday, May 31, 2024 go on sale on Friday, May 12th at noon local time.
The tour will feature Steve Howe on guitars and vocals, Geoff Downes on keyboards, Billy Sherwood on bass guitar and vocals, Jon Davison on vocals and acoustic guitar and new drummer Jay Schellen. Jay began playing with the band in 2016, when long-serving drummer Alan White was beset by health issues. Following Alan’s untimely passing in 2022, it is with Alan’s blessing that Jay has permanently joined the band.
The Classic Tales of Yes Tour 2024 promises to include many iconic tracks from the Yes back-catalogue covering 50 plus years and, possibly, music from the new album Mirror To The Sky, to be released May 19th via on InsideOutMusic/Sony Music.
“We’re putting together a great setlist covering the length and breadth of Yes’ career,” Howe shares.
“As always, we are committed to pushing new boundaries and are very excited to be performing another chapter in the rich legacy of the band,” adds Downes.
