PROG PIONEERS YES ANNOUNCE RESCHEDULED TOUR DATES FOR 2022
Proggers Yes have announced that they will reschedule their tour, which was previously pushed forward to May this year. The new dates will all happen in 2022.
The UK leg of the tour will kick off on the 15th June 2022, in Glasgow, and take in seven UK cities, before heading over to Ireland to play the last two dates in Dublin and Cork respectively. The UK leg concludes on the 26th June in Newcastle.
Geoff Downes says “We’re really looking forward to getting back onstage and performing for our fans. Relayer will be special.”
The tour line-up features Steve Howe (guitars), Alan White (drums), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (vocals), Billy Sherwood (bass guitar and backing vocals) and Jay Schellen (additional drums and percussion).
The show will comprise full production and a high-definition video wall. The show will include favourite classic tracks from YES’ extensive catalogue together with Relayer, the seventh studio album by YES, and one of the band’s most distinctive in full. Relayer marked a slight change in direction as Patrick Moraz replaced Rick Wakeman on keyboards bringing an edgier, avant-garde feel to the album. This was perfect for the opening track Gates Of Delirium, almost 22 minutes in length, with its battle scene featuring the keyboard of Moraz and Steve.
Roger Dean will be directing the production and joining the tour with an exhibition of YES related art.
