Jon Anderson adds extra UK show as he extends European tour
Former Yes singer Jon Anderson has extended his European tour this summer, including an extra UK date at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire in July and an Ireland show in Dublin in August.
Anderson announced back in February that he would be touring Europe with the the Paul Green Rock Academy, with whom he has been performing in the USA with the Academy recently, including a headline performance at this year's RoSFest.
The live set celebrates Yes' 1972 album Close To The Edge – playing the album in its entirety – as well as performing other classic songs and what are billed as 'surprises'.
"Singing with the Academy Of Rock is a joy to behold," says Anderson. "Performing Close To The Edge and many more Yes songs is a miracle on many levels. Close To The Edge was created 50 years ago and these young musicians love it as though it was created last year!
"Yes music is about survival, with a true dedication to the art of music and creativity, and these young talented teens prove that all music is fun to perform, all music. And we really have a great tie on stage together. So come and see this musical miracle live."
Anderson will also be touring the US with The Band Geeks in April and May, performing a set of Yes songs. All dates below.
