Next year, 2018, marks half a century since the formation of legendary group Yes and to celebrate this milestone, the current line-up - Steve Howe, Alan White, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison and Billy Sherwood - will embark upon a ten date UK tour.

Together with a selection of classic Yes hits, they will perform sides one and four and an excerpt from side three of their 1973 album 'Tales From Topographic Oceans', the first Yes album to top the UK charts.

The final weekend of the UK tour at the London Palladium on 24th and 25th March will include a 50th Anniversary fan convention and more details of the anniversary celebrations will be announced soon.

Roger Dean, whose fantastical landscapes have become synonymous with Yes albums, will unveil new 'Close To The Edge' paintings at the Palladium on March 25th.

Yes will also release 'Topographic Drama – Live Across America', a new live album, later in the year. This was recorded during their 2016/17 tours of America.

Talking about their 50th Anniversary, Steve Howe told us:

"We want to mark this anniversary with a tour that encompasses some of our best loved work - we want to play things we enjoy, maybe songs we haven't done in a while."

Geoff Downes added:

"I feel enormously privileged be a part of the legacy of the incredible and unique line of musicians in Yes. The band has always remained fresh and inventive throughout its 50-year history, and created an amazing catalogue of music that has inspired millions from all generations."

Alan White says:

"Reflecting on the past 46 years that I've devoted my life to playing Yes music, it's been an interesting journey and a true labour of love. I've always believed in the power of music and I'm extremely grateful to continue to be performing on stages for our dedicated fans and look forward to our 50th Anniversary performing together in 2018. It's been a great ride!!"
