YES The Royal Affair Tour 2025
Last summer, the prog-rock icons of YES celebrated their 50th anniversary with their extensive “#YES50” US tour. Now, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have announced plans for a new summer outing dubbed “The Royal Affair Tour”.
Asia has been fronted by Billy Sherwood since the death of singer John Wetton in 2017. On this tour former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal will take the place of guitarist Sam Coulson. Founding member Steve Howe left the group in 2013, but he will be playing with them for at least some of their set on this tour. And since Asia keyboardist Geoff Downes is also in Yes, that means that half the current Yes lineup will be pulling double duty in Asia. Asia drummer Carl Palmer is the sole surviving member of the Seventies prog supergroup Emerson, Lake and Palmer. His group Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy plays the band’s music. They will be joined on this tour by Arthur Brown, best remembered as the frontman of the Sixties psychedelic rock band The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.
The early summer jaunt begins in mid-June, with dates across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. At the start of July, the group heads to the Midwest, with shows in Illinois, Ohio, and Michigan before heading south. After a three-night run in Florida, the bands will work their way to California to close the tour. Watch the official promo video and find the full itinerary below. Tickets to a majority of the shows go on sale Friday, April 5th
