'Legendary progressive rock band YES return with their 24th studio album Aurora, set for release on the 12th June 2026. When Yes first began sketching out ideas for what would become Aurora, the process was loose and exploratory. There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. Among these early sketches was a piece titled Aurora, and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light, emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band. As Steve Howe explains: Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music. It's always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn't really a Yes song. Were not trying to echo the past; were carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new. With their 24th studio album, Yes demonstrate not just longevity, but a sustained curiosity, a desire to keep exploring, keep refining and keep discovering their capacity to create. Aurora is available as a Limited Deluxe 180g Light Green 2LP+2CD+Blu-ray Artbook & Poster, as well as a Ltd Deluxe 2CD+Blu-ray Artbook, both featuring the stunning artwork of Roger Dean, as well as a bonus disc of instrumentals, as well as Dolby Atmos, 5.1 Surround Sound & 24bit stereo mixes. The album is also available as a Gatefold 180g 2LP + LP-booklet, Special Edition CD Digipak. Extensive marketing activity.
