Yes

Yes, a cornerstone of British progressive rock since the late sixties, returns to Paris on 7 May 2026 at L’Olympia. Formed in London in 1968, the band developed a musical language blending psychedelic rock, classical influences and extended instrumental passages, with vocal harmonies that helped shape its identity. On stage today, Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood and Jay Schellen continue that story, linking the band’s different eras. This concert spotlights Tales from Topographic Oceans, a pivotal album in their repertoire, while also opening a window onto their recent period with selections from Mirror to the Sky. Between extended multi-part suites, precise guitars, abundant keyboards and a supple rhythm section, Yes unfolds an aesthetic that has endured across decades without losing its direction. The experience is enhanced by Roger Dean’s visual universe, whose artworks have accompanied the band’s imagination and continue to define its stage signature. An event that testifies to Yes’s continuity—between memory and renewed impulses—at the Paris venue on Rue des Capucines.
