The iconic and Grammy-winning rock band Yes have announced their first-ever festival--Yestival, a day-into-night musical adventure in full quadraphonic sound--for Saturday, August 3 at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, NJ. The multi-platinum progressive rock titans--performing their classic albums 1971's The Yes Album and 1972's Close To The Edge in their entirety and more--will be joined by like-minded artists such as The Musical Box, Renaissance featuring Anne Haslam, Carl Palmer's ELP Legacy,
and other acts TBA. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 7 at 10 AM EST and

Susquehanna Bank Center Box Office, Live Nation Box Office, Ticketmaster
outlets or by-phone at 800-745-3000. Yestival is presented by Live Nation.
Says Yes bassist Chris Squire, "This is a concept we've been
trying to put into motion for some time, and only now we've been able to
turn it into reality. We're looking forward to starting Yestival out in
the Philadelphia area, which has been a Yes stronghold since the '70s."
Yes--bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White, keyboardist Geoff Downes and singer Jon Davison--has
been enjoying a successful 2013, with a world tour marking the first
time since 1973 that the band has performed any album onstage in their
entirety. The North American tour will continue starting July 6 in Paso
Robles, CA and include stops in Anaheim, CA, Las Vegas, NV, Atlanta, GA,
Washington, DC and Montreal, CAN, wrapping up on August 12 in
Indianapolis, IN. Go to www.yesworld.com
