It could also be just for fun to go along with the exclamation mark after Yay! Are We Not Men? We Are Devo! Motorpsycho? Yay!
Well I definitely like that artwork a lot more than the “Yay!” speech bubble. In the Instagram post, artwork is credited to Johann Harstad and Jonathan. The artwork definitely suggests acoustic psychedelia (
). Is the figure calling out “Yay!” recognisable to anyone? @suntripper – Yep! It’s hard to miss if you’re a Yes fan.
Fantastic news! So, is this going to be the acoustic/semi-acoustic material they sent to Reine to work on? On the one hand, I hope so; on the other, I don’t care because it’s a new album anyway!
Mini-tour of the UK – dates (so far)
22.06.2023 UK Southampton – The 1865
23.06.2023 UK London – O2 Academy, Islington
24.06.2023 UK Leicester – HRH Psych CANCELLED
25.06.2023 UK Leeds – The Key Club@ nicoot. Yes I do mean 23.06. Thanks for the correction.
Leeds? Looks like a mini-UK tour? I expect they’ll play somewhere on the 24th June too, then.
@Mark – I was wondering if they might add Vera, Groningen on the 15th, but nothing on Vera’s website as yet. I think they played Vera last time out, and they do seem to alternate – e.g. Köln last time, so Düsseldorf this time; Bremen last time, so Oldenburg this time.
Also, no Belgian, Lux or Swiss dates as yet. I would expect something will be announced for 15 and/or 16, and 18 and/or 19.
For now, as much as I’d love a return to Zakk, Düsseldorf, I have my eyes on a little NL tour this time around.

Ticket-holders are being offered four options: a ticket to one of two other HRH events; a credit worth double the ticket value; a full refund. I took the refund. Just have to wait to see if HRH pay up – they do not have a good reputation.
This is really sad news. Tomas has been a a great drummer for the band and I’m really sorry to see him leave. I’m also sad to hear that there may have been uncomfortable disagreements – whether over money or other stuff. When I read the Insta post I immediately got a passive aggressive vibe – a kind of “if you think you can do better somewhere else, good luck” cynicism. I expect we’ll hear more about it in the days to come.
The India tour is a bit of a surprise. Given my history with India (I lived there for some years, my wife is Indian, and we have a home there that we visit irregularly), I would love to have heard about this in advance. My hope is that this is something that is already part of or about to feed into new material and inspiration.
@suntripper. Many thanks. What a band they were! I just missed out on this QPR show, having been a little too young (though I did see my first concert in 1975 (10cc, front row, Hammersmith Odeon). I had to wait until October 1977 to see Yes for the first time.
