As APB

In support of the Anderson Ponty Band's debut album, Better Late Than Never (released on 25 September 2015), a 17-date North America Fall 2015 tour named the "Better Late Than Never" tour was scheduled, starting on 23 October 2015 in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania and ending on 21 November 2015 in Scottsdale, Arizona.[5][6] The APB's 2015 touring lineup was Jon Anderson, Jean-Luc Ponty, Rayford Griffin, Wally Minko, Keith Jones and Jamie Glaser.

The Anderson Ponty Band (APB) rehearsed for two weeks at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg, PA in anticipation of the 27 October 2015 show in Glenside, PA (the originally planned start of the tour). Then the Sherman Theater asked the band to play a show in Stroudsburg before the true beginning of the tour. Thus, the 23 October 2015 show was announced only just one week earlier.[7]

It was announced that the APB's 2016 touring lineup would remain Jon Anderson, Jean-Luc Ponty, Rayford Griffin, Wally Minko, Keith Jones and Jamie Glaser.[9]
