TRIUMPH have announced the "Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded" tour, reuniting all three original members — guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett, drummer/vocalist Gil Moore, and bassist Mike Levine — for the first time in three decades. The 24-date arena tour launches April 22 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and runs through June 6 in Boston, with APRIL WINE serving as special guests.
The reunion marks a monumental occasion for fans of Canadian hard rock. TRIUMPH were one of the biggest arena acts of the late 1970s and 1980s, known for anthems like "Lay It on the Line", "Magic Power", "Fight the Good Fight", and "Hold On". Their first North American tour in 30 years promises to be an emotionally charged celebration of five decades in rock.
To handle the demanding setlist, the classic trio has expanded to a six-piece lineup featuring Phil X of BON JOVI on guitar, Brent Fitz on drums, and Todd Kerns on bass and vocals. This extended configuration allows the band to deliver the full power of their catalog while giving the original members flexibility on stage.
Rik Emmett expressed his enthusiasm for the reunion, stating: "Musically, it's gonna be quite something." The sentiment reflects the careful preparation that has gone into ensuring the shows live up to the legacy of a band that sold millions of albums and filled arenas across North America during their peak years.
With 24 arena dates and the addition of fellow Canadian rock veterans APRIL WINE, the "Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded" tour is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated classic rock events of 2026. Tickets are on sale now through venue box offices.
