Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Yes have announced a 2019 North American summer concert tour that will see them joined by Asia, The Moody Blues’ John Lodge and Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy. See the trailer for the tour below.

“This is a unique celebration of the British contribution to classic rock over many decades,” said Yes’ Geoff Downes in a statement. “It will be inspirational to be a part of. And I know it is what [Asia’s] John Wetton would have wanted.

The Royal Affair Tour will kick off June 12th in Bethlehem, PA and make stops across the East before heading to Arizona, Nevada and California. The trek continues through July 28th with additional dates set to be announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for most shows are on sale now. See a full list of dates below.

The current line-up of Yes features Steve Howe (guitar), Alan White (drums), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (vocals) and Billy Sherwood (guitar/keyboards), with Jay Schellen on additional drums.

On the tour, Asia will pay tribute to their late founding member John Wetton, and a portion of their set will feature original guitarist Steve Howe.

John Lodge’s set will encompass classic hits by The Moody Blues and pay tribute to Ray Thomas, who passed in January of 2018.

Carl Palmer will honor late ELP members Keith Emerson and Greg Lake.
