Anderson / Wakeman Confirm Tour Dates

Jon Anderson and Rick Wakeman have confirmed details of their Anderson-Wakeman 360 Project tour.

The former Yes bandmates will be out on the road for a bigger jaunt than expected, with shows throughout October and for half of November.

The shows will see the duo playing old Yes material and new songs and talking about their careers.

Here’s what Rick has to say about the tour:

"In 2006 Jon and I embarked on an acoustically driven two man tour around the UK. Not only was it thoroughly enjoyable, but it showed our music, both as soloists and as part of YES, in a completely new light and this was one of the most satisfying musical participations that I could have hoped to have been part of.

"Jon and I always said we would do it again and to that end, would continue to write new songs together, and this we have done.

"This October/November tour will be full of music both old and new and the friendship and camaraderie that we have, will undoubtedly shine through on stage as well as the shared humour of course.

"It is planned to both film and record the shows, but a prior filming and recording will take place live, shortly before the official tour starts for which tickets will go on sale around August once all the technicalities have been ironed out.

"Working with Jon is always special and these shows will undoubtedly reflect that. If I were a true YES fan, (which I am), I wouldn't miss these shows for the world. But as I'll be on stage, I'll have to buy the DVD to see what it looks like!"
