The album is titled 50 Live and it will arrive on July 19 via Rhino Records. It was recorded over two nights at The Fillmore in Philadelphia on July 20 and 21, 2018.

The album features a total of 13 tracks and will launch on 2CD, 4LP and on digital and streaming platforms.

Meanwhile, Yes are currently preparing to head back out on the road across North America.

They’ll kick off their Royal Affair tour on June 12 at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center and will be joined on the tour by special guests John Lodge of The Moody Blues and Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy, featuring guest vocals from Arthur Brown.

Asia will also be with them on the road, with original guitarist Steve Howe joining the band for a portion of their set.

Howe said: “Yes is delighted to headline this celebration of British music which has been so warmly received in America over the past five decades.”

Alan White added: “I’m looking forward to joining a number of classic British talents that have delighted so many fans over the past half century.”
