Jon Anderson, the iconic former Yes frontman, is striking gold again with a major 2025 North American tour and a new live album release that are energizing fans worldwide. The tour, featuring Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks, kicked off on April 1 at the Rialto Theater in Tucson, Arizona, and will run through July 13, concluding in St. Louis, Missouri. It includes two legs covering over 29 cities, with performances of classic Yes epics alongside tracks from their critically acclaimed debut album “True,” released in August 2024.
In addition to the live shows, Anderson and The Band Geeks released a live CD/DVD and Blu-ray titled “Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks Live – Perpetual Change” on March 14, 2025. The live album captures a full concert recorded at the Arcada Theater in St. Charles, Illinois, in 2023 and features iconic Yes songs such as “Close to the Edge,” “And You and I,” and “Roundabout,” alongside the band’s new material.
Fans have praised the tour for its dynamic blend of classic progressive rock and fresh compositions, with Anderson delivering powerful performances that include playing tambourine, acoustic guitar, and harp. The shows typically last around two hours, despite a relatively short set list, due to the extended length of the songs.
Jon Anderson’s 2025 tour and live release reaffirm his enduring influence in progressive rock, offering longtime fans and new listeners a vibrant musical experience that bridges his legendary past with his current creative vitality.
