It's up on ELP's renovated site (which is still under construction):

Hopefully Keiths carpal tunnel stays away. They were supposed to be
touring now but the injury cancelled that and the KEB tour.

While it's nice to know that Keith and Greg have put their petty squabbling
aside, I kind of hope they don't actually go through with this gig. Keith's
hand problems have seriously hampered his ability to play and Greg's voice
has been totally shot for over a decade. This has the potential to be one
hell of an embarrassing performance.

As much as I've enjoyed ELP over the years, they really are a one trick
pony and will no doubt rehash the same tired show they left off with, if
this highly dubious gig even happens.

If they play anywhere remotely close, I'll make the trip.

I'd like to see nowYes throw a new set of twists in their setlist for
2010, however.

Oh, I get it. Keith was a member of The Nice.
Yeah, no pun intended.

Well it is 9 months away so anything can happen. Keiths playing on
his new CD is quite
excellent and his pairing with Marc Bonilla puts some nice extra
punch into the music.
I'd rather see them tour than ELP. Had tickets for June when tour
was cancelled.
Interesting that Keiths website doesnt mention anything and was
recently updated Nov. 6

Their shows are way more of a greatest hits than Yes' have been. If
they can dust off some golden oldies, I would be pleasantly
surprised. This reunion was scheduled a while back, but then Emerson
was supposedly going to have surgery for the carpal tunnel, wasn't he?

Prior to their three act tour with Dream Theater (and who was the
headliner?), they did a warm up show in Burlington where they played
all of Tarkus and a "new" song from "their next album" called Crossing
the Rubicon. The gentleman next to me was recording it in stereo on
DAT with microphones in his hat -- quite a set up. Also, they played
"21st Century Schizoid Man".

But yes, they really have stuck to the same set list, other than the
terrible Black Moon.

Oh, you have technology these days? When I did a world solo recording the
behemoth 1974 California Jam there WAS no technology. I am the only one who
matters in music and film.

IIRC, the headliner was Deep Purple.
