Prog-rock legend Jon Anderson, best known as the voice and co-founder of Yes, has revealed a new slate of tour dates for 2026, bringing his iconic voice and timeless catalog to fans across the United States, the U.K., and Sweden.
Anderson will be performing with his longtime collaborators The Band Geeks — a group led by Richie Castellano, the musical director and bassist from Blue Öyster Cult — under the banner Yes Epics, Classics and More. The show promises to blend beloved Yes masterpieces with material from Anderson’s recent work, including songs from their 2024 album True, as well as selections that span his extraordinary 40-plus-year career.
The 2026 tour kicks off in the United States with a spring run that begins on April 17 at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, Connecticut, followed by multiple stops along the East Coast and Midwest. Highlights include performances at the Patchogue Theatre (New York), Count Basie Theatre (New Jersey) and the Royal Oak Theatre in Michigan — where the current leg wraps on May 7.
That U.S. run will focus heavily on the music that helped define progressive rock: epic Yes compositions, fan favorites, and woven-in gems from Anderson’s own catalog with The Band Geeks.
The tour doesn’t end there. Anderson has also unveiled a European leg for September and early October 2026, marking his first full tour in his home region for this project. Beginning in Birmingham, U.K., the route includes shows in London, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow and Sweden’s Stockholm and Malmö, among others. Fans in those cities are in for a rare chance to experience Yes classics alongside newer collaborative material performed live.
In addition to the live dates, Anderson and The Band Geeks are actively working on a second studio album, slated for release later in 2026. His 2024 album True marked a fruitful studio and touring partnership, and the forthcoming record is expected to build on that creative momentum.
Anderson has expressed enthusiasm about returning to significant venues around the U.K. and performing the music of Yes with musicians who deeply understand the material. “To be back home in the U.K. performing Yes music with The Band Geeks, who are dedicated Yes fans, is a dream come true for me,” he said in a press release.
At age 81, Anderson continues to show remarkable vitality and creative ambition, offering fans both nostalgic and fresh interpretations of progressive rock classics.
