Description
The world's most quintessential prog-rock band Yes joins forces with multi-platinum rock band STYX for a summer tour extravaganza. These two monster rock bands will embark on a 22-city summer tour with a stop at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
Yes – The legendary, Grammy Award winning prog-rock band that has defined many a generation -- will be on tour in support of their new album Fly From Here on Frontiers Records, releasing July 12th.
Yes features a lineup of guitarist Steve Howe, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White, and lead singer Benoit David. Yes will be reuniting with keyboard player Geoff Downes for this tour.
Styx -- Tommy Shaw (vocals, guitars), James "JY" Young (vocals, guitars), Lawrence Gowan (vocals, keyboards), Todd Sucherman (drums) and Ricky Phillips (bass), along with the occasional surprise appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo -- has an unmistakable sound all their own, and they continue to prove that they're one of the hardest working bands in the music world thanks to a vigorous tour schedule that keeps them constantly on the road all across the globe.
"We are excited to have Styx on tour with us. I consider them to be in the vein of Yes and the cutting edge of prog-rock in America," says Yes founder/bassist Chris Squire.
"When I first heard Yes, I knew that the music world was forever changed," says Styx singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw. "They took progressive rock to a place that had never been expressed in such an impressive yet accessible way. Who among you didn't make it a point to learn the acoustic guitar intro to ‘Roundabout?' We're very excited to tour with them for the very first time."
Fly From Here is the first album Yes has recorded for close to a decade and was produced by the legendary Trevor Horn in the spirit that Yes was founded. The return of Horn along with the maestros that make up Yes has brought back the fluid freedom that their music's ingenuity is best known for. Yes holds a shrewd insight and creative vision that challenges audiences as they stretch the boundaries of music.
Styx is currently putting the finishing touches on Regeneration, Volume 2, the follow-up to 2010's seven-song EP, Regeneration, Volume 1, which contains six newly re-recorded classics--"Come Sail Away," "Crystal Ball," "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)," "Lorelei," "The Grand Illusion" and "Sing For The Day" -- and a brand new track, "Difference In The World." The track listing for Regeneration, Volume 2 is: "Renegade," "Blue Collar Man," "Too Much Time On My Hands," "Queen of Spades," "Coming Of Age" (Damn Yankees), "High Enough" (Damn Yankees), "Snowblind," "Miss America." Both volumes will be available for sale at every stop along the tour route.
Yes' performance will feature the title track from their new album Fly From Hare, as well as the hugely successful and indelible catalogue of music from hit albums such as Drama, Fragile, Close to the Edge and 90125. Classics such as "Roundabout," a seminal hit which consistently appears on "the best songs of all-time" lists, and the group's #1 hit "Owner of a Lonely Heart" are sure to be featured for an evening of music not to be missed.
Yes' remarkable career has served to re-define the boundaries of rock for more than four decades, Yes has played the role as a dominant driving music force selling over 30 million albums, reaching platinum status multiple times worldwide. Their symphonic use of sound and innovative musical styles have made each of the group's player's a virtuoso in his own right.
Spawned from a suburban Chicago basement in the early ‘70s, Styx would eventually transform into the virtual arena rock prototype by the late '70s and early '80s, due to a fondness for big rockers and soaring power ballads. Over the course of their 38-year career they've released 15 studio albums, 6 best-of compilations and 4 live albums, garnering 8 Top Ten singles. Styx has sold over 30 million albums worldwide. Throughout their illustrious career, they've performed more live shows since 1999 than all of the previous years of its career combined. Two Super Bowl appearances, Pollstar box office chart-topping tours with Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon and Bad Company (to name only a few), two more studio albums and no end in sight, Styx continues to conquer the planet, one venue at a time.
