It's Owner of a Lonely Heart, the song that took them to the top of the international charts in 1983, that many remember YES. But the band's history extends back a decade, when their 1971 album Fragile defined their identity and paved the way for a long period of experimentation. Fragile will be the focus of the tour that will bring the band to the London Palladium on May 3 and 4, 2026, a chance to hear it live in its entirety, along with tracks from over half a century of their career. The London Palladium, with its theatrical atmosphere and musical history, becomes the ideal setting for this operation, which aims not to be a simple revival, but a reaffirmation. The live experience combines lighting, scenography, and sounds that span decades, making it a contemporary listening experience. The current lineup of YES, led by Steve Howe with Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, and Jay Schellen, carries on the band's legacy. Despite the changes, the spirit remains faithful to the original vision: to consider music as a journey and continuous transformation. Fragile is therefore not an untouchable relic, but a living text, which continues to breathe with the audience and renews itself with each performance.
