YES reschedule UK tour for May 2021

Progressive rock legends YES have rescheduled their May and June 2020 tour for May 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Originally set to kick off in Liverpool this month, The Album Series 2021 Tour will now start at Manchester Bridgewater Hall on Sunday 16th May 2021 before calling in at Birmingham, York, Gateshead, Liverpool, Nottingham, London and Glasgow.

The current incarnation of YES - Steve Howe (guitars), Alan White (drums), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Billy Sherwood (bass guitar and backing vocals), Jon Davison (vocals) and Jay Schellen (additional drums and percussion) - will be performing the 1974 album ‘Relayer’ in its entirety together with other classic progressive rock opuses from their fabled back catalogue.

YES drummer Alan White says: “Many things have changed in the world these past few months. My appreciation for the freedoms we’ve enjoyed in the past has grown along with my gratitude for all the people caring for humanity throughout the world.”

“I can’t wait to be on stage again in front of real audiences playing YES’ music. I’m hoping we can bring some joy and positivity back into our lives.”

“Please take care and stay safe, we want to see our many fans and friends again in 2021!”

All tickets remain valid for the new shows in 2021. More details can be found at yesworld.com.
