After a staggering absence spanning more than three decades, Canadian rock legends Triumph finally returned to the stage on Friday, April 10, kicking off their highly anticipated 50th-anniversary tour in Orlando, Florida.
The 2026 touring incarnation of the beloved group features founding members Gil Moore (drums and vocals) and Rik Emmett (guitar and vocals) performing alongside a powerhouse roster of veteran hard rock musicians. Stepping in to round out the live lineup are guitarist Phil X (of Bon Jovi, and notably a former Triumph touring member), along with drummer/keyboardist Brent Fitz and bassist Todd Kerns—both widely recognized for their ongoing work in Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators.
Noticeably absent from the stage was original bassist Mike Levine. The founding member previously announced last December that he would be forced to sit out the majority of the anniversary trek due to a persistent hand issue that prevents him from performing up to his usual high standards.
The monumental comeback show, held at the Hard Rock Live Universal Orlando, served a much greater philanthropic purpose than just a musical reunion. Taking place as part of the 23rd annual Celebration Exotic Car Festival, recognized as the largest exotic car charity event in the world, 100% of the concert’s net proceeds were donated directly to the Make-A-Wish foundation to help fulfill the dreams of children battling critical illnesses.
Fan-filmed video footage of the entire Orlando performance is currently circulating online and you can watch it down below.
