YES has announced that drummer Alan White, who had to sit out the band's recent US summer tour due to back surgery, will officially rejoin his band mates Steve Howe (guitar), Jon Davison (vocals), Billy Sherwood (bass) and Geoff Downes (keyboard) on their Japanese tour this November. Jay Schellen, the band's good friend who sat behind the kit all summer, will also travel to Japan and sit in until White is fully healed.

"Greatly looking forward to getting back on stage with my band mates to play YES music once again for our devoted audiences," shares White.

The 6-date trek, beginning November 21st in Tokyo, will feature YES performing the 1973 album Yessongs, the band's first live album, as well as sides one and four of 1973's double album Tales From Topographic Oceans, which received rave reviews throughout their 28-date US outing this summer.

For their upcoming Japan tour, YES will perform at the Tokyo Orchard Hall on November 21st, 22nd, 28th and 29th, the Osaka Orix Theater on November 24th and Zepp Nagoya on November 25th.

In early 2017, YES will once again host and headline the 4th annual Cruise To The Edge. Set for February 7th - 11th, the ultimate prog rock experience at sea will set sail out of Tampa, Florida aboard Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of The Seas visiting Cozumel, Mexico and featuring over 20 artist performances including YES (with White fully on drums), Kansas, Steve Hackett, Mike Portnoy, John Wetton, Patrick Moraz, Bad Dreams, and many more.
