YES Announces Summer Tour, ‘The Album Series’

yes-tour-2016Yes has announced an American summer tour kicking off July 27th in Columbus, ON and wrapping up in Los Angeles on August 30th.

The tour, dubbed ‘The Album Series,’ will feature the band performing the 1980 album Drama in its entirety, for the first time ever, and sides one and four of the 1973 double album Tales from Topographic Oceans, as well as a selection of greatest hits.

“We are proud to present the American public with forward-looking albums from the past,” says guitarist Steve Howe. “Promoting ‘Drama‘ at Madison Square Garden on multi-nights was a career milestone in 1980, and we are especially looking forward to performing both the opening and closing sides to ‘Topographic Oceans.’

The 1980 album Drama – the band’s tenth studio album – marked a new sound and more aggressive direction for Yes with the use of modern keyboards and a vocoder. The album peaked at #2 in the UK and #18 in the US and features the single “Into the Lens.”

Released as a double album in December 1973, Tales from Topographic Oceans is a concept album comprised of four interlocking pieces, ranging between 18 and 22 minutes, and drummer Alan White’s first release with Yes. As the band’s sixth studio album, Tales from Topographic Oceans reached #1 in the UK for two weeks – where it was the first UK album to qualify for Gold certification based on pre-orders – and peaked at #6 in the US.
