Styx and Yes are gearing up for a new tour and both are set to release albums this summer. 

Styx and Yes, two of the most enduring rock bands of all time announced earlier this week that they are joining forces and hitting the road for a tour this summer, set to kick off on July 4.

Not all of the dates are confirmed yet, which is good because as of right now, there are NO Minnesota stops on the list so there IS hope, but don't plan on seeing them at the Minnesota State Fair. The tour wraps up August 3.

Meanwhile, Yes is releasing a new album July 12 called Fly From Here and Styx also has a new project in the works, Regeneration Volume II which will have previously recorded hits but with a twist. Tommy Shaw isn't saying exactly what those "twists" will be, but maybe Cartman will appear for an encore?
