Yes « The Fragile Tour »

On 16 May 2027 at Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in Liverpool, Yes brings The Fragile Tour, a set built around Fragile (1971), a key chapter in the band’s progressive vocabulary. Formed in London in 1968, Yes forged a sound that blends psychedelic rock, classical colours and jazz inflexions, with long-form pieces, stacked vocal harmonies and extended instrumental passages. Fragile sits at the center of that approach, with pieces such as Roundabout and Heart of the Sunrise, marked by shifting dynamics, interlocking lines and space for instrumental dialogue.

Today the band carries this repertoire forward with Jon Davison on vocals and Billy Sherwood on bass, a role he assumed after the passing of founder Chris Squire. The concert connects the early-seventies suites to later chapters like The Quest (2021) and Mirror to the Sky (2023), drawing a clear arc through the group’s many evolutions. Expect arrangements that highlight interplay and precision, with the material from Fragile acting as the backbone of a show that looks back without losing sight of the band’s ongoing work.
