Triumph Announces First Tour in 30 Years, ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Machine Reloaded,’ For 50th Anniversary
by Best Classic Bands Staff
Triumph, one of Canada’s most revered and influential rock bands, have announced their first tour in 30 years with a 50th anniversary tour, the “Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded,” produced by Live Nation. The 2026 North American run marks the return of the power trio – Rik Emmett (guitar, vocals), Mike Levine (bass, keyboards), and Gil Moore (drums, vocals) – as they celebrate five decades of musical excellence, pioneering stagecraft, and a legacy that continues to inspire fans worldwide.
Tickets for the tour, with special guest April Wine, will be available beginning with a pre-sale running Dec. 10 at 10 a.m. local time through Dec. 11 through 11:59 p.m., giving fans early access to seats. American Express® Card Members in Canada can purchase tickets before the general public. The general on-sale follows on Dec. 12 at 10 a.m. local time here.
Triumph has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will support SoundsUnite – the music community for learning, wellness, and creativity – anywhere, anytime, any device.
The Dec. 9 announcement included this statement from the band: “Our fans have always been the heart of Triumph. Their energy, their belief, and the way they embraced the positivity in our music have carried us for fifty years. We’ve always said these songs were meant to bring people together – and that’s exactly why we’re coming back now. We knew there was still a chapter left to write. This tour is our chance to do it, together with the people who made the Triumph journey possible.”
The news followed a brief teaser campaign on their social media pages with such comments as “Starting the long road back into the rock & roll machine,” that included a door sign that read, “Rehearsal Keep Out.”

More from the tour announcement: Formed in Mississauga in 1975, Triumph – Emmett (72 years-old), Levine (76), and Moore (72) – rose from playing high school auditoriums and rock ‘n’ roll bars to selling out iconic arenas, from Toronto’s famed Maple Leaf Gardens to Reunion Arena in Dallas. Their virtuosic musicianship, soaring vocals, and dazzling, high-production live shows helped define an era of arena rock. Blending hard rock power with progressive ambition, Triumph has sold over 15 million albums worldwide and earned multiple gold and platinum certifications, building a global following through headline tours and landmark festival performances, including the 1983 US Festival before 500,000 fans. With hits like “Lay It on the Line,” “Magic Power,” and “Fight the Good Fight” – combined with pioneering stage productions featuring pyrotechnics, laser lighting, and theatrical flair – Triumph became arena rock legends, securing a permanent place in Canadian and rock history.
The band’s return to the road follows a defining year honoring Triumph’s impact across generations. In June 2025, the band was celebrated with Magic Power: All-Star Tribute to Triumph (Round Hill Records), a 15-track album featuring rock luminaries such as Phil X, Sebastian Bach, Slash, Nancy Wilson, Joey Belladonna, Dee Snider, Deen Castronovo, Alex Lifeson, and Mickey Thomas, among others.
Further solidifying their celebrated status, Triumph was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in October, recognizing their contributions to Canada’s cultural legacy. This induction adds to their long list of accolades, which includes membership in the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame (2007), the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (2008), and Canada’s Walk of Fame (2019).
