It’s a prog-rock fan’s dream come true, with two of the legendary British bands of all time on the same stage, playing hits like “I’ve Seen All Good People,” “Roundabout” and “Heat of the Moment.” Acclaimed British band YES feature the classic line-up of guitarist Steve Howe, bassist Chris Squire and drummer Alan White with new vocalist Benoit David and keyboardist Oliver Wakeman, son of the group’s Rick Wakeman. For this tour, YES will be joined by ASIA, with Howe, a cornerstone member of both groups, performing as part of each band’s set, alongside original Asia members, including ex-YES and Buggles keyboardist Geoff Downes, ELP’s Carl Palmer on drums and former King Crimson and UK bassist/guitarist/vocalist John Wetton. YES concerts have always been very special events, and this tour will be no different. The group will perform selections from hit albums like Fragile, Close to the Edge, Tales from Topographic Oceans and 90125 along with audience favorites like “Roundabout,” “Owner of a Lonely Heart,” “I’ve Seen All Good People” and “Yours Is No Disgrace,” just some of the enduring classics that have made YES one of the most influential and groundbreaking groups in rock & roll. Asia’s performance will feature many songs from their historic first album, the world’s best-selling release of 1982. The supergroup’s debut effort was #1 at Billboard for nine weeks and included such smashes as “Heat of the Moment,” “Only Time Will Tell” and “Sole Survivor.” The original line-up of ASIA reformed after 23 years apart in 2006, and has since conducted four successful world tours. In addition, the band released the critically acclaimed Phoenix album on EMI Records. Collectively and individually, the four original members of ASIA have sold over 120 million records. Said Howe: “This is a monumental event and even though it will be a challenge, I am up for it.”

Performing in bars and clubs since the age of 13, Tori was at the forefront of a number of female singer/songwriters in the early 1990’s and was noteworthy as one of the few alternative rock performers to use a piano as her primary instrument.

Her concerts are notable for their changing set list from night to night and Rolling Stone voted her one of the best live performers of all times.

He is the self-proclaimed "Fluffy Man" (as opposed to fat), in reference to his large frame and his own joke about the Five levels of Fatness (which are Big, Healthy, Husky, Fluffy and "DAMN!"). Ask anyone who has seen him in concert and you will probably hear the same thing, "He was so funny!"

Tears For Fears "ruled the world" on the pop charts for the last half of the 80s with catchy radio/arena anthems like "Shout," "Everybody Wants To Rule The World," "Mad World" and "Head Over Heels." When the dynamic duo of Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith went their separate ways and Orzabal took the new group in different directions, it seemed like the Tears For Fears legacy was one for the history books. Fans were ecstatic when Ozabal and Smith reunited in 2004 with a great return to form called Everybody Loves A Happy Ending. The happy ending for us is that the reconnection of Roland and Curt has continued and Tears For Fears will be making their third Humphrey’s appearance. With special guest, Indie singer/songwriter/guitarist Wainwright .
