The series - which will open in Lisbon, Portugal on April 30 - will mix iconic tracks from the Yes catalog alongside a celebration of the 50th Anniversary of “Tales from Topographic Oceans” as well as music from their current album, “Mirror To The Sky.”
Yes are Steve Howe (guitars, vocals), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (vocals and acoustic guitar), Billy Sherwood (bass guitar, vocals) and drummer Jay Schellen.
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 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 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 Succuso. 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 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’s 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!"
Tickets for the 2024 tour are on sale now.
