In November 1971, Yes released their fourth studio album 'Fragile' in the U.K.
The nine-track record yielded a pair of iconic singles in 'Roundabout' and 'Long Distance Runaround,' obscure gems like 'We Have Heaven' and 'South Side of the Sky' and the prog-rock masterpiece 'Heart of the Sunrise.'
Now, 54 short years later, Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Billy Sherwood, Jon Davison and Jay Schellen are taking the timeless collection of songs (and a few other classics) on the road.
While out and 'Roundabout,' the Rock Hall of Famers will make four New York and New Jersey stops.
First, they'll jam at Morristown, NJ's Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Oct. 2.
After that, the legendary quintet hit Atlantic City's Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Saturday, Oct. 4, Port Chester, NY's Capitol Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 5 and Huntington, NY's Paramount Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 7.
'All the band's albums had a unique feel and approach,' Howe said via Instagram. 'It's fairly 'odd-ball,' but…it gave us confidence, further than our own in-stock belief, we'd crafted this unusual but noticeable musical twist to rock and what later became prog.'
Astute fans may have noticed that a pair of key Yes members aren't part of this tour; that's because both lead singer Jon Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman are conducting solo tours of their own this year.
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Yes shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 'Fragile Tour' is Friday, June 13.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Schellen replaces long-time drummer Alan White who passed away in 2022.
Roger Dean
'Fragile' was the band's first album designed by Roger Dean.
According to the group's Instagram, the iconic artist would go on to 'design many of YES' future album covers, the band's logo, and live stage sets. This striking union of music and design is key in how YES' sound and vision would be perceived; it also underlined how important artistic visuals were becoming in the rock world.'
To celebrate his work, the group is slated to shred 'in front of a video wall featuring AI treatment of Dean's art, bringing YES' art into the 2020s.' His timeless work will also be available for purchase at all shows.
To keep up with what he's working on these days, you can follow Dean on Instagram here.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive extends 2025 tour, adds NY show. Get tickets
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Bachman-Turner Overdrive is is about to 'Let It Ride' yet again. The classic rockers just added eight fall shows to their ongoing 2025 'Roll On Down The Highway Tour' including October gigs in both New Jersey and New York. Those Tri-state concerts go down at Englewood, NJ's Bergen Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, Oct. 29, Atlantic City, NJ's Borgata Casino Event Center on Friday, Oct. 31 and North Tonawanda, NY's Riviera Theatre on Monday, Nov. 3. Prior to these newly-added autumn gigs, the group that brought the world 'Takin' Care of Business' and 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet' co-headline a run of summer gigs with Marshall Tucker Band and either Jefferson Starship or The Outlaws. They also have a handful of solo headlining gigs and a one-off with Blue Öyster Cult and Foghat lined up over the next few months as well. 'We're playing all the hits, as well as diving deep into the album cuts,' Bachman said in an official statement. '…the response from fans has been incredible.' In addition to all of the staples you know and love, it's also likely Bachman and co. will play their recently-released, nostalgia-tinged single '60 Years Ago.' The song is the band's first new release since 1996 when they put out a Europe-only cover of 'The House of the Rising Sun.' Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Bachman-Turner Overdrive shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for their co-headlining tour is Friday, June 13. Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event. Bachman-Turner Overdrive tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar including all tour dates, venues, special guests and links to buy tickets can be found below. Bachman-Turner Overdrive set list The band rocked Medford, MA's Chevalier Theatre last March. Based on our findings at Set List FM, here's what they entertained the audience with in Mass (including quite a few Guess Who songs as well as Randy's son Tal's '90s hit as advertised above). 01.) 'Roll On Down the Highway' 02.) 'Rock Is My Life, and This Is My Song' 03.) 'Shakin' All Over' (Johnny Kidd and the Pirates cover) 04.) 'These Eyes' (The Guess Who cover) 05.) 'No Time' (The Guess Who cover) 06.) 'Not Fragile' 07.) 'Four Wheel Drive' 08.) 'Lookin' Out for #1' 09.) 'Stayed Awake All Night' 10.) 'American Woman' (The Guess Who cover) 11.)

'Takin' Care of Business' Bachman-Turner Overdrive new music On March 28, 2025, BTO dropped their first single in nearly 30 years. The nearly four-minute barroom rocker — appropriately dubbed '60 Years Ago' — name checks Canadian rock heroes Burton Cummings, Buffalo Springfield, The Guess Who and more. As an added bonus, the raucous ditty features a scorching guitar solo courtesy of The Godfather of Grunge himself, Mr. Neil Young. The song may be a last gasp for the aging rockers but also serves as proof positive that they still have gas left in the tank. If you'd like to hear the rallying cry of a tune for yourself, you can find '60 Years Ago' here. More about Bachman-Turner Overdrive In May 2024, The Post spoke with Randy Bachman about the origins of their classic 'Takin' Care Of Business,' new music and career highlights. 'One night I'm driving to a gig in Vancouver and a guy comes on the radio station. He says 'Hi, this is Daryl B and we're taking care of business,'' the 81-year-old told us about how the iconic tune came to be. Bachman wrote the title down and made the band play the song on the spot — unprepared and unrehearsed (!) — that night. Yes, the memorable call and response 'Takin' care of business/Every day/Takin' care of business/Every way/Takin' care of business/It's all mine/Takin' care of business/And workin' over time' was improvised. 'The crowd went crazy,' Bachman smiled. 'We recorded it two weeks later and that's what you hear.' For more stories like these, you can find our interview with Bachman here. Classic rockers on tour in 2025 BTO aren't the only rock icons who took the world by storm in the '70s performing live this year.

This LEGO Podrace Set is the perfect Father's Day gift for your Star Wars-obsessed dad
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. The best way to spend Father's Day is to sit down with your dad and chat. That's best done, in our experience, over some sort of activity. Sometimes that's as simple as dinner.

'Perfect for any Star Wars fan, but especially prequel defenders like myself, this diorama style set combines building scenery with slightly more complex podracing vehicles for something that's not too hard, but definitely a little more challenging. This one ranks among my favorites in my collection because it's a great display piece once it's built, too; you can gift it to dad, and then he can admire his handiwork by displaying it for everyone to see.'

Upcoming nWo book brings fresh look at legendary faction through pop culture lens
The nWo, one of the most discussed and well-documented subjects in pro wrestling history, is getting a fresh perspective. Marc Raimondi, the former New York Post writer and current Falcons beat reporter for ESPN, is taking at look at WCW's famed faction through a pop culture lens in his upcoming book 'Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Professional Wrestling's New World Order Changed America,' which is available for pre-order and in stores June 24. Raimondi, who has been a close friend for more than 20 years, delivers one of the most in-depth, easy-to-follow and well-reported accounts of how nWo worked by reflecting on the cultural shifts during that time in our country's history — feeding off and then feeding into pop culture — and ultimately failed. The book is written almost like it's made for TV, with little cliffhangers here and there. The cover of 'Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Professional Wrestling's New World Order Changed America.' In the book, he compares Crow Sting's popularity in the context of someone a castout youngster of the '90s could relate to, like Kurt Cobain and Marilyn Manson, as he rebels against the high school bullies of the nWo within the story.
