I'm not sure where you heard UK I haven't heard that on either YES, Carl Palmer, or Live Nation. Would be cool though. And as for those calling it a cover band tribute show, really? If you're not interested mind your business. Yes is hardly a cover band just because Jon Anderson isn't there. If I had my choice I'd rather have him but Jon Davison is no Youtube sensation. He's a successful artist in his own right and Glass Hammer is an awesome band of which he is still a part. He was recommended to them by Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters and he fills the bill perfectly. Carl Palmer is probably one of the best Prog Rock drummers ever and Musical Box... Have you ever even heard of them? Sure, they're a cover band but if I put you in an auditorium and blindfolded you, you couldn't tell the difference between them and the real Genesis. Genesis members have actually played WITH them and commented that they are almost better than the real thing. In my opinion Rennaissance is a throw in for me and a good one at that.
As far as Camden is concerned, it is a dump but you'd never know it being at the Susqehanna Bank Center on the river. It's a great venue and it's going to be a fantastic show so if you don't have anything nice to say why bother???
I am not sure what why people do not understand simple thing...I do not go hiking to Syria, I am not go biking to Afganistan and I sure would get concerned attending the concert that is placed in what is considered a murder capitol of USA ...it has nothing to do with the social statements, social bias or any other political issue...it is all about my personal safety...
If you feel that people should not be worried to visit Camden please say so but do not call them names or question thier motivation...

I'd say it was a concern if there was massive crime among concert attendees, but you rarely hear of any crime committed at/during/after a show at the Susquehanna Center.
I get what you're saying, I just think you're a little misguided.

According to the LiveNation website, tickets go on sale Friday at 10.
And it has been announced on the LiveNation website.
Thank you for handling that one for me.
Got some more info from the mailing list this morning (from Chad):
and...The information that I sent out to you yesterday was given to me directly from a LiveNation promotions staff member. However, I just received an email that the festival has been "unannounced" and that tickets will *NOT* be going on sale this week.
More to come, I'm sure.
Since I've gotten a few emails to the effect, I want to make it clear that neither I nor Rob (nor Kevin for that matter) have anything to do with the organization or promotion of YesFest.
We were asked about our mailing list and I said that I would only help with an email blast if they gave our list members some sort of deal, hence the pre-sale code. If you have any questions about the show itself, please refer to the LiveNation website.
That said, as more information is sent to me from the promoter, I will pass it along.
Thanks!
Chad
This venue is gorgeous:

To paraphrase Herman Melville: "It was the whiteness of the prog that above all things appalled me. But how can I hope to explain myself here; and yet, in some dim, random way, explain myself I must, else all these chapters might be naught."
I'm pretty sure this is where I saw Yes with Styx a couple of years ago. It's a good venue and there were no problems(other than Yes sucking that is). I don't think I'll be going to this but will be following it anyway. It will be interesting to see how well attended it will be and if having these other bands will hurt or help the attendance.
Actually Annie Haslam wasn't on the first two Renaissance albums so technically speaking................
Technically, the original Renaissance was a different band. But, we all know what I meant... this is Annie Haslem's tribute to Renaissance. Even with Dunford still there, it was still questionable, despite the fact most fans didn't seem to notice.
It's not even the classic line-up of The Musical Box
I wish there more cup half full people on this thread than cup half empty. This could be a great day out. I've been to the venue and its isolated from Camden proper and I've never experienced or heard of a problem there of any criminal nature. I hope the show goes on.
Hi Beano. I have no idea where you are on Long Island but from where I am in Merrick it usually takes me under 2 and a half hours driving to get to Camden. But I do realize how big LI is. I've driven for almost 2 hours just to get from Merrick to Stephen's Talkhouse in Amagansett. For me a drive like that is worth it once and a while for a special type of show. At the moment I'm a bit puzzled about the "unannouncing" of this show though. And as to whether or not UK were ever participating?
Hey Eli, I'm in Huntington Station but really couldn't justify a drive to Camden(or any show over 5 hrs + R/T) unless it was a event like Rosfest or Nearfest..I am not crazy about driving at night anymore either..But I have my ticket for YES in July @ Westbury!!!
I got lost in Camden once and lived to tell about it.
I went ahead and put this on the Prog Fest Calendar, even though there is no official announcement about it. When I read it on YesWorld, then I'll know it's true.
I won't be able to attend Yes Fest. I am saving my money for Progday, which I still don't know if I can attend due to my new job.
