Yes to Play 1971 Album ‘Fragile’ in Full on U.S. Tour

English progressive rock legends Yes are gearing up for a mind-blowing fall tour that’ll have fans losing their heads! The band is set to rock out their iconic 1971 album Fragile in its entirety. Are you ready to have your musical world rocked?

Launching on Oct. 1, The Fragile Tour 2025, The Album Series is set to dominate stages across the country for a total of 31 dates until Nov. 16. Fans can expect to bask in the glory of Fragile live, complete with a selection of other beloved “classic cuts” to keep the vibe alive.

Originally dropped in November 1971, Fragile was a game-changer for Yes, becoming their most successful release at the time. Following the chart-topping success of The Yes Album, Fragile soared to No. 4 on the Billboard 200, solidifying Yes’ status as a force to be reckoned with in the prog rock scene.

The album’s standout single, “Roundabout,” made waves by climbing to No. 13 on the Hot 100, setting a high bar for Yes’ future chart-topping hits. It’s safe to say that Fragile made a lasting impact that continues to resonate with fans to this day.

Following the album’s release, Yes embarked on a whopping 115-date tour, marking a pivotal moment in their history as they solidified their position as headliners in the U.S. The upcoming tour promises to capture the essence of that era while giving fans a taste of Yes at the peak of their creative powers.

Guitarist Steve Howe reflects on the legacy of Fragile, sharing, “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.” The tour is set to bring that unique musical twist back to life for fans new and old.

As the only remaining member of the original Fragile lineup, Howe is set to lead the charge, carrying on the torch of Yes’ legendary sound. While the lineup may have evolved over the years, the spirit of Yes and the magic of Fragile live on in each breathtaking performance.

So, mark your calendars and get ready to experience Yes like never before on The Fragile Tour 2025, The Album Series. It’s a musical journey you won’t want to miss!
