Yes: The Fragile Tour
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, this event will no longer be taking place on this date. Ticket holders have been contacted directly and will be informed of any updates.
We have received the following statement from the promoters:
The upcoming YES ‘Fragile’ UK and EU Tour, due to commence on 22nd April, has had to be postponed as guitarist Steve Howe requires an essential operation that requires recovery time. This decision has been made to ensure that Steve can return to the stage in full health and deliver the performances that fans deserve.
We are working hard to reschedule the UK and EU shows to a later date, with full details to be announced after Easter. Please retain your tickets, as they will be valid for the rescheduled dates.
Tour dates currently being arranged for later in 2026 will proceed as planned.
Steve Howe and Yes would like to thank their UK fans and hope for their continued support at this time.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused
