I wouldn't take this as gospel yet, but it looks like Yes will be playing at Philips Arena on 4/28.

I hope they aren't making a mistake by booking venues this large. I think Philips' capacity is around 14,000.
5,000 seems to be about the right number for a typical Yes audience these days.

I caught the tail end of a Z-93 deejay talking this up this afternoon (right after playing "Heart Of The Sunrise" *with* the "We Have Heaven" coda! w00t!). It reminded me of the Rush show there last year, when the upper level was completely empty.

What I'm beginning to suspect is that the upper level seats were never offered, and the band got to rent the arena at a cut rate. Maybe this is an alternate solution to a "half-house" arrangement such as Yes had in the Omni on the *Big Generator* tour.
