APRIL 2 - ANNOUNCEMENT

YES will be playing their first concert ever with orchestra on July 28, 2001 at the Konocti Amphitheatre in Clear Lake, California. For more information, see: http://www.konoctiharbor.com/ampha.htm

==> HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING FOR THE FANS!!!!

1. The Lakeside Haven Clubhouse at the Konocti Resort in Kelseyville, California has already been reserved for a party of up to 500. We expect this to be a "YEStival-Like" event (we are calling it YESCAPADE 2001). This event will take place on July 28, 2001 to celebrate the opening of the tour. Times will be from approximately 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. The concert begins at 7 p.m.

2. There is always the possibility of some "special guests" appearing, but we cannot announce anything definite about that yet. Negotiations with management are underway. Keep your fingers crossed!

3 The event will also include a luncheon meal and a big fan party.

4. An admission fee will be charged to help defray the costs associated with the hiring the venue, providing the meal, set-up expenses, etc. The fee will be based on what our costs are to put on this shindig. A
pre-registration form will soon be available online.

5. YesWorld.com is helping to promote the event, and we'd like the information spread to any and all internet sites and email lists where YES music is discussed and where fans gather.

More information about YESCAPADE 2001 can be found at the Yescapade website:

It's going to be a WONDERFUL time!

Hope to see you! Have a great day!

Greetings YES fans!

The YESCAPADE 2001 website has now been updated to offer information about Lodging, Ground Transportation, and Airfare -- including international carriers for our fellow YESfans living outside of the U.S. At this time, we have heard that fans from Scotland, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and Canada are planning to arrive to celebrate with us the start of the new "YesSymphonic Tour."

If you are planning international travel to attend YESCAPADE 2001, please send me an email. We will do everything we can to help facilitate your journey, and we will be so pleased to welcome you warmly and receive you graciously! Keep us informed!

The time of the event has been changed. It now will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 2:00 p.m. A vegetarian brunch will be served buffet-style from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for those who select the "Event+Brunch" ticket option. More information can be found on the "Itinerary" page of the website.

We expect YESCAPADE 2001 tickets to go on sale by the middle of next week, after the concert ticket sales begin. We also expect this event to sell out rather quickly. Supportive response from fans has been overwhelming, and we are so grateful for this! Thank you all!
