Since reuniting for a U.S. tour in 2016, YES featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin and Rick
Wakeman, has performed sold-out shows around the world. Due to public demand, they return to
tour the U.S. again. In addition, the trio will be recording new material throughout the summer for
a projected album release in early 2018.
The most successful prog rock group of all time, YES was co-founded by Jon Anderson and the
late Chris Squire in 1968 and went on to sell millions of units with releases such as Fragile, Close
to The Edge, Tales From Topographic Oceans, Going For The One and 90125, as well as
embarking on several record-breaking world tours. Whilst Rick Wakeman is predominantly
associated with the ’70s “prog era” of the band (which saw YES become a worldwide stadium
headliner) and Trevor Rabin associated with the ’80s “pop era” of the band (which furthered the
band’s popularity – including the band’s biggest chart success), Jon Anderson is the bridge
between both factions (as he was a member of both eras). The touring band line-up is completed
by two extraordinary musicians – Lee Pomeroy on bass and Louis Molino III on drums – who help
to ensure that YES’ immaculate artistic legacy remains intact.
The worldwide tour with YES featuring Jon Anderson, Trevor Rabin, Rick Wakeman is being
produced by renowned concert promoter Larry Magid, who is considered an architect and leader
of the modern concert business. With over 17,000 concerts and live events to his credit and still
counting, he has produced national and international tours for YES, Billy Crystal, Richard Pryor,
Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder, Robin Williams, Gladys Knight, The Isley Bros., Earth Wind & Fire,
ARW, Il Divo, The Allman Brothers Band, Patti LaBelle, Grover Washington Jr. and many others.
In 1985 Larry Magid, co-produced the American portion of Live Aid, and in 2005, he was the
American producer of Live 8. In 2001, he produced the United We Stand concert at RFK Stadium
to benefit the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.
