Jon Davison to lead John Lodge tribute tour as Yes postpones tour
Jon Davison, frontman for the progressive rock band Yes, will lead a series of tribute shows in 2026 honoring the late Moody Blues bassist and songwriter John Lodge. The tour will feature two members of the Moody Blues touring band and follows several successful tribute performances held in the UK and the US.
Separately, the band Yes has postponed its Fragile tour due to guitarist Steve Howe’s recovery from a major operation and unspecified illness. The rescheduled tour is now set to begin in May 2027, starting in Sheffield, England. The tour is expected to include performances in the Netherlands, France, Japan, and the United States, featuring the complete 1971 album 'Fragile'. Despite the tour delay, the band released their 24th studio album, Aurora, on June 12.
