Triumph scraps 17 tour dates as health issue halts 50th anniversary run

Ticket holders for 17 upcoming concerts will see automatic refunds processed through their original point of purchase. The Canadian rock group Triumph canceled the remainder of its 2026 Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded reunion tour. The band cited unexpected medical circumstances affecting the lineup. These cancellations impact shows scheduled across the United States and Canada starting Nov. 17. The final scheduled performances were set for Oshawa and London, Ontario, on Dec. 18 and 19.

The band returned to touring in 2026 to mark its 50th anniversary. This marked the group's first tour in more than 30 years. The reunion lineup included founding members Rik Emmett and Gil Moore. They were joined by guitarist Phil X, bassist Todd Kerns, and drummer Brent Fitz. The announcement arrived less than three weeks before the second leg of the tour was scheduled to begin.

Triumph stated the medical situation prevented the group from rehearsing or proceeding with the concerts as planned. The affected dates include stops in Cincinnati, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Portland, Seattle, and Los Angeles. A Dec. 8 appearance at Oakland Arena in California is also canceled. The group has not identified which member or members are affected by the health issue.

The band described the outlook as encouraging. It expressed hope of returning to live performances as soon as possible. The group apologized for the short notice and thanked fans for their support. No replacement dates have been announced. Plans for a 2027 tour remain unconfirmed. Fans with questions about their specific purchases should contact their ticket providers directly.
