Former Yes member Rick Wakeman is joining forces with his son Oliver for a tour next year in the US. The dates are those rescheduled earlier this year due to surgery.
During his 2025 tour, Wakeman had joined up with vocalist Hayley Sanderson; however, Sanderson is not available for the rescheduled dates in a tour they are call Wakeman & Son.
Wakeman was the keyboard player for YES and the Strawbs before becoming a solo artist.
The Wakeman & Son tour will be a career spanning affair, tapping into the music of YES, the Strawbs, Wakeman and Oliver’s solo careers, and their own collaborations.
Wakeman spoke on performing with his son saying, “it’s always an honour for me to share the stage with one of my wonderful children and for the first time, it’s a thrill to be actually doing a tour with my eldest son Oliver. I know it will be very special – especially if, on the odd occasion, he buys me dinner!!”
Many of the 2026 tour dates will honour previously postponed or cancelled daes.
