Yes<\/a> fans already have a packed 2027 concert schedule, with newly rescheduled shows for the main band set to arrive after a long run of appearances by multi-tenured former member Rick Wakeman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See a complete list of dates, cities and venues below. For tickets or more information, visit either Yes’ official site<\/a> or Wakeman’s tour page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yes has confirmed almost a dozen mid-year stops, with more presumably to follow. All but one so far is a rescheduled concert from 2026. The band postponed these shows<\/a> in April so guitarist Steve Howe<\/a> could undergo “an essential operation that needs recovery time.”<\/p>\n

When Will Yes Tour Again?<\/h3>\n

The exact issue was never confirmed, but Howe said he was “making progress, slowly<\/a>” in September. Meanwhile, Yes released their 25th album, Aurora<\/a><\/em>, and just missed the U.K. Top 40.<\/p>\n

Wakeman, Yes’ on-again, now completely off-again keyboardist, has had his own health problems<\/a> but is now recovered and ready to hit the road<\/a>. He’ll be joined on the Wizard of Prog: Ultimate Highlights Tour by the English Rock Ensemble, which was first formed by Wakeman in the mid-’70s.<\/p>\n

Wakeman is touring behind the newly released Return to the Red Planet<\/a><\/em>, which he describes as a sequel to 2020’s The Red Planet<\/a><\/em>. The LP features singer Mollie Marriott, daughter of late Small Faces<\/a> and Humble Pie<\/a> frontman Steve Marriott.<\/p>\n

Current Yes keyboardist Geoff Downes<\/a> has set a November release date for Indigo<\/a><\/em> with Asia<\/a>, which he originally co-founded with Howe. Founding Yes frontman Jon Anderson<\/a> and the Band Geeks are also at work on a second album together, following 2024’s True<\/a><\/em>. He just wrapped his own extensive 2026 tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n
