Rick Wakeman is not ready to say goodbye to the road just yet. The Yes keyboardist has added even more dates to his Final One Man Solo tour, which he launched in March.

The rocker wrapped the 2024 leg of the tour in November, but he’s now added new shows for 2025 that will take place before and after his appearance on the Cruise To The Edge, happening April 4-9 and leaving out of Miami.

The new tour dates kick off March 27 in Vienna, Virginia, hitting Charlotte, Charleston, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and more before wrapping April 17 in Peekskill, New York.

The show will feature highlights from Wakeman’s five-decade career, including solo work and work with Yes. Plus, he’ll play the 30-minute instrumental "Yessonata," turning themes and melodies from Yes into a sonata. 

“I have thoroughly enjoyed performing the various one-man shows, but it’s time to call it a day,” he said when he first announced the tour, sharing he plans to stop touring by his 77th birthday, which is May 18, 2026. "I am taking this opportunity of thanking everyone and anyone who has supported me over the last 53 years!”
