Yes - Aurora

NEW VINYL LP ON SONY 2026

2 X 180 GRAM VINYL LP (Pre-order now, out 12-06-2026)

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. We’re not trying to echo the past; we’re carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new”.
