Please note this event has been rescheduled to Monday 20 June 2022. The event was due to take place on Saturday 22 May 2021.Following the recent passing of YES drummer Alan White, Alan’s close friend Jay Schellen will be taking on drumming duties in Alan’s place.YES, one of the most innovative of all prog-rock bands, and true legends of the genre, return to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall during The Album Series 2022 Tour, as they will celebrate the 50th anniversary their iconic album Close To The Edge, along with other classic tracks from YES’s extensive catalogue.

Following the release of The Yes Album and Fragile, in 1971, YES released what is widely considered one of the most defining albums, not only for YES but for the whole progressive movement. Close The Edge became an inspiration for their contemporaries and for successive generations of musicians.

'We reached a real high, doing Close To The Edge. We valued the musicianship, the artistic ideas and the vocalising that people bring and that’s why we’re still doing it, because it’s exciting to do! Close To The Edge was voted the most-proggy album possibly ever made. It was very experimental. We had already done 10-minute epics but with Close To The Edge we just took it a stage further and I’m very pleased we were brave enough to do that.'
Steve Howe
