I heard that Yes is planning to get together and go on tour for their 40th anniversary next year; does anyone know if it's true?
I hope it is because they're my favorite band ever! You're in luck!
"Things look quiet on the Yes front for the immediate future, but the band has definitely not broken up -- in fact, plans are already being laid for the group's 40th anniversary in 2008. Bassist Chris Squire told us that they'll probably tour to celebrate: "Nothing's in stone yet, but it will be Yes's 40th anniversary, believe it or not, of the band, in 2008, so, you know, we should do something for it. And there's quite a few, various offers from various promoters and touring people on the table that we're looking at now."
Yes formed in London in 1968.
While Yes is dormant, guitarist Steve Howe is working with Asia, and singer Jon Anderson is doing his own thing, which includes releasing a 20-volume box set and playing some dates next month with students from Paul Green's School Of Rock."
There aren't any solid tourdates out there yet, but the band solidly intends to do it--it's not like the Zep tour where it's a question of convincing them. Haven't heard, but It would be cool. Are you talking about YES..as in the singer of ..Roundabout, Owner of a lonely heart, ???? if so I havent heard they were doing a tour..but if so that would be Awesome..they are one of my favorite bands...Led Zeppelins my fav. I think it's true In September 2006, Yes announced on its website what fans had known for 2 years: "Yes on Hiatus. The members of Yes are taking a break from band activities. Though members are in discussion about their next steps there are no firm plans for the future."
This announcement plus the band's inactivity since 2004 was interpreted as a death knell by many fans. It was speculated that this "hiatus" was actually a de facto breakup, possibly due to tension and disagreements between members.
The members have remained cautiously tight-lipped about the situation, often alluding to differences of opinion. But even though obstacles are clearly evident, some members appear to remain optimistic of a 40-year reunion. In February 2007, Jon Anderson said on Philadelphia's Radio WPHT 1210 AM that Yes will possibly reunite in 2008 for a 40th anniversary tour and that Roger Dean is creating artistic projections for the shows. Moreover, on Nov 27, 2007 in an interview with Classic Rock Magazine, bassist Chris Squire responded to the question of a 40-year reunion tour by stating, "We鈥檙e working on that right now. There will be dates worldwide."
However, the official word remains ambiguous, and Rick Wakeman's most recent announcement on Nov 15, 2007 seems to reassert the status quo of the band's inactivity: "To the best of my knowledge, no firm decision about anything has been made yet."
Optimistic fans have hopes of a 40-year Yes reunion tour in 2008, which, according to most members, is in the works now, altough, as of yet, Rick Wakeman's involvement in the final line-up is uncertain. Only one answer can do this question justice.
YES. wtf is YES? Never heard of them, Hon. Merry X-Mas!
