Yes announce US tour

Yes

Yes have announced a 2016 US summer tour.

The run of 25 shows will kick off in Columbus, Ohio, on July 27 and wrap up on September 4 with a performance in San Diego, California.

It’s being billed as The Album Series and they’ll play sides one and four from 1973’s Tales From Topographic Oceans and 1980’s Drama, plus other selected tracks.

Guitarist Steve Howe tells BraveWords: “We are proud to present the American public with forward-looking albums from the past. Promoting Drama at Madison Square Garden on multi-nights was a career milestone in 1980, and we are especially looking forward to performing both the opening and closing sides to Topographic Oceans.”

Yes will head out on a European tour later this month where they’ll perform Drama and 1971 album Fragile. The run of dates gets underway in Glasgow on April 27.
