The strong ticket sales signal a powerful comeback for the Canadian hard rock trio, whose 2026 tour marks their first full tour in more than 30 years. The anniversary celebration begins on April 22 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and wraps June 6 in Boston, covering 24 cities across Canada and the United States.

Triumph 50th Anniversary Tour Sees Massive Ticket Demand
Triumph’s return to the road is more than just another tour, it celebrates five decades of arena rock history. The classic lineup of Rik Emmett (guitar, vocals), Gil Moore (drums, vocals) and Mike Levine (bass, keyboards) is at the heart of the run.
Guitarist Phil X, who replaced Emmett in the early ’90s and later built his own global reputation, is also part of the lineup.
In an earlier statement announcing the tour, the band made clear why now felt like the right time to reunite, per Billboard.
“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.”
That message appears to be resonating. Selling over 100,000 tickets before the tour even kicks off shows that their fan base, built in the late 1970s and 1980s, remains strong.
General ticket sales began in December, with shows available through Ticketmaster and Live Nation. The band also partnered with PLUS1, meaning $1 from every ticket sold will support SoundsUnite.
Triumph formed in Toronto in 1975 and quickly became one of Canada’s most successful rock exports. Known for high-energy performances and powerful anthems like “Lay It On the Line,” “Magic Power” and “Fight the Good Fight,” the band sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.
Their live shows were famous for large-scale production, earning them recognition as innovators in arena rock. Over the years, Triumph received multiple honors, including induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame. In October 2025, they were also inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The renewed momentum didn’t happen overnight. In June 2025, Triumph reunited publicly for the first time since 2008 with a short performance before Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final in Edmonton. That appearance reignited excitement around the band. Around the same time, a tribute album titled Magic Power: All-Star Tribute to Triumph featured major rock artists honoring their catalog.
Rik Emmett recently explained that several factors led to the reunion, including rediscovering the joy of playing together again. After their Edmonton appearance, he said the chemistry felt right and that performing remained fun, even decades later.
With new dates like Orlando and Hollywood now open for ticket buyers, Triumph’s return stands as one of the most significant classic rock reunions of 2026.
