Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks in Newcastle

Jon Anderson, the legendary voice of Yes, brings his collaborative project The Band Geeks to Newcastle for a night of classic progressive rock. The Band Geeks, founded by Richie Castellano, began as an online cover band before catching Anderson's attention with their faithful renditions of Yes classics. Together, they have toured extensively since 2023, performing a set of iconic Yes songs from the 1970s era.

Attendees can expect a high-energy show featuring the intricate musicianship of The Band Geeks, who have been praised for their stunning backing vocals and ability to evoke the classic Yes sound. The band includes Castellano on bass, Andy Ascolese on drums, Andy Graziano on guitar, and keyboardists Chris Clark and Phil Castellano. Their collaboration has produced the studio album *True* (2024) and the live album *Live - Perpetual Change* (2025), both of which showcase their synergy with Anderson.

This concert offers a rare opportunity to hear Anderson perform beloved Yes songs with a band that has mastered the classic idiom. With a second studio album announced for 2026, the Newcastle date is part of a multi-leg tour that promises an evening of timeless progressive rock.
