Prog-rock legends Yes have announced a Fall 2025 US tour during which they’ll perform their classic 1971 album Fragile in its entirety, along with a selection of favorites from other LPs.
The outing, dubbed “The Fragile Tour 2025, The Album Series,” kicks off October 1st in Wallingford, Connecticut, and runs through a November 16th show in Reno, Nevada. Along the way, Yes will hit Atlantic City, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Memphis, Cincinnati, and more markets.
Fragile is a landmark album in Yes’ discography, featuring such classics as “Roundabout,” “Long Distance Runaround,” and “Heart of the Sunrise.”
Guitarist Steve Howe stated of Fragile, “All the band’s albums had a unique feel and approach. After The Yes Album, so many things came together, with [co-producer] Eddie Offord steering the proceedings. While the band focused on only four main songs with full arrangements, each of us wrote and designed a solo piece, which was Bill [Bruford]’s great idea.”
He added, “It’s fairly ‘odd-ball,’ but we were at the height of our creativity, determined for success. It gave us confidence, further than our own in-stock belief, we’d crafted this unusual but noticeable musical twist to rock and what later became prog.”
Yes’ current lineup consists of Howe, Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (vocals, acoustic guitar), Billy Sherwood (bass guitar, vocals), and Jay Schellen (drums).
At each show, original Fragile album cover artist Roger Dean’s artwork will be available for sale at the merch table, with Howe noting, “Roger was and is quintessential to the look of Yes. He’s still creating great paintings and design — he has no competition.”
