Styx will be teaming up with Yes for the "Progressive U.S. Tour" this summer. The 22-city trek is set to kick off on July 4th and will conclude on August 3rd in Mountain View, CA.

"When I first heard Yes, I knew that the music world was forever changed," says Styx singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw. "They took progressive rock to a place that had never been expressed in such an impressive yet accessible way. Who among you didn't make it a point to learn the acoustic guitar intro to 'Roundabout?' We're very excited to tour with them for the very first time."

"We are excited to have Styx on tour with us. I consider them to be in the vein of Yes and the cutting edge of prog-rock in America," says Yes founder/bassist Chris Squire.

Yes will be on tour in support of their new album Fly From Here on Frontiers Records releasing July 12th.

Styx is currently putting the finishing touches on Regeneration, Volume 2, the follow-up to 2010's seven-song EP, Regeneration, Volume 1, which contains six newly re-recorded classics--"Come Sail Away," "Crystal Ball," "Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man)," "Lorelei," "The Grand Illusion" and "Sing For The Day"�and a brand new track, "Difference In The World." The track listing for REGENERATION, VOLUME 2 is: "Renegade," "Blue Collar Man," "Too Much Time On My Hands," "Queen of Spades," "Coming Of Age" (Damn Yankees), "High Enough" (Damn Yankees), "Snowblind," "Miss America." Both volumes will be available for sale at every stop along the tour route.

Yes features a lineup of guitarist Steve Howe, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White, and lead singer Benoit David. Yes will be reuniting with keyboard player Geoff Downes for this tour.
