Triumph has canceled the remaining 17 dates of its 2026 Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded reunion tour. The group cited unexpected medical circumstances affecting the lineup. These cancellations leave the band’s return to the road, which began earlier this year, incomplete.
The affected performances were scheduled to start on Nov. 17 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The tour was set to travel through major U.S. cities including Cincinnati, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Portland, and Seattle. It would have concluded with shows in Oshawa and London, Ontario, on Dec. 18 and 19. A Dec. 8 appearance at Oakland Arena in California was also cut.
The band’s announcement came less than three weeks before the second leg was planned to begin. Members stated that the situation would prevent necessary rehearsal and the execution of the concerts as intended. The reunion lineup included founding members Rik Emmett and Gil Moore, along with guitarist Phil X, bassist Todd Kerns, and drummer Brent Fitz.
Triumph did not identify which members were affected by the health issues. The group described the outlook as encouraging and expressed hope for a return to live performances in the near future. The band apologized for the short notice and thanked fans for their support.
All tickets for the canceled shows will be refunded automatically through the original point of purchase. Buyers do not need to submit separate requests for these refunds. Fans with questions should contact their ticket providers directly. No replacement dates or plans for a 2027 tour have been announced.
