Legendary Canadian rockers TRIUMPH have announced their first tour in over three decades.

The North American run of shows will celebrate the band's 50th anniversary and feature support from APRIL WINE.

The tour will kick off with a series of dates in Canada, beginning April 22 in Sault Ste.

Marie, Ontario, and running through a May 8 show in Calgary, Alberta.

From there, the band will hit the U.S., starting May 13 in Rosemont, Illinois, and wrapping up June 6 in Boston.

In all, 10 Canadian and 16 American cities are included on the tour.

The tour marks TRIUMPH's first live performances since their reunion announcement last year.

The classic lineup of drummer/vocalist Gil Moore, guitarist/vocalist Rik Emmett, and bassist Mike Levine will be joined by guitarist Phil X, drummer Brent Fitz, and bassist Todd Kerns.

In a recent interview with Rock Interview Series, Moore discussed the tour's setlist, stating that there are many songs in contention for inclusion.

"There's a lot of songs in the hat, and we're kind of looking at what fans are asking for on social media," he said.

The band will also be incorporating advanced technologies into their stage production.

Regarding Mike Levine's hand injury, which has been a concern since December, Moore acknowledged that it remains a gametime decision whether Levine will participate in the entire tour or not.

"Yeah.

Not much has changed [since he last talked about it].

It's gonna be a gametime decision for Mike," Moore stated.

The band is hopeful that Levine will be able to perform on the whole tour, but it ultimately depends on his hand injury.

TRIUMPH's reunion follows a defining year honoring their impact across generations.

In June 2025, the band was celebrated with "Magic Power: All-Star Tribute To Triumph," a tribute album featuring rock luminaries and produced by Mike Clink.

Further solidifying their celebrated status, TRIUMPH was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame in October.

Formed in Mississauga in 1975, TRIUMPH rose to fame playing high school auditoriums and rock 'n' roll bars before selling out iconic arenas across North America.

Their virtuosic musicianship, soaring vocals, and dazzling live shows helped define an era of arena rock.

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.

The band's impact has been recognized through their membership in the Canadian Music Industry Hall Of Fame (2007), the Canadian Music Hall Of Fame (2008), Canada's Walk Of Fame (2019), and a memoir written by Rik Emmett.

Their reunion tour promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans of the iconic band.
