Yes - Aurora

Aurora is the twenty-fourth studio album by British progressive rock band Yes, released in June 2026 via Inside Out Music.

Legendary progressive rock band Yes return with their 24th studio album ‘Aurora’, released on June 12, 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”.

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.

This double album 2LP record set is on 180 gram black vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with a printed booklet and two bonus tracks, pressed in Europe via Inside Out Music.
