The band, consisting of guitarist/vocalist Steve Howe, keyboardist Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood, and Jay Schellen (drums), will play 27 shows overall across the U.S. during the tour.

“As always, we are committed to pushing new boundaries and are very excited to be performing another chapter in the rich legacy of the band,” Downes said.

The tour is set to commence with a concert at Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on September 21. There will be stops in several cities, including Philadelphia, Portland, New Brunswick, Charleston, Orlando, Cincinnati, Nashville, Los Angeles, Cleveland, Denver, Salt Lake City and more.

The final show is scheduled to take place on November 4 at Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside, California.
