Steve Howe’s son Dylan will join the Yes rhythm section for their upcoming North American tour.

He’ll team up with drummer Alan White to create a “twin drum powerhouse” on the live Yestival dates, which will kick off on August 4 at the White Oak Amphitheatre, North Carolina.

White says: “It’s a pleasure for me to welcome Dylan Howe to the Yes stage. I’ve known Dylan for most of his life and I’m proud to think I’ve helped to be an inspiration in his musical journey.

“I’m very much looking forward to performing with him this summer for the upcoming Yes tour.”

Dylan Howe says he’s “honoured and fortunate” to get the opportunity to tour with the band and adds: “This to me is, quite possibly, the musical zenith of my career – my love for this music and the great musicianship that runs through it has always been a massive inspiration to me.

“Bill Bruford and Alan’s drumming is why I started playing the drums in the first place, and to have the opportunity to honour their great contribution to drumming while playing alongside Alan with my brilliant father and this outstanding lineup is a dream come true for me.”

Yes will be joined on the road by Todd Rundgren and Carl Palmer’s ELP Legacy – view a teaser tour video, along with a list of the live dates, below.
