Triumph<\/a>\u2019s long-awaited reunion tour<\/a> has been going strong for nearly two months now, and frontman Rik Emmett<\/a> couldn\u2019t be happier with the response.<\/p>\n During a recent interview on the Tuning In With Thom Jennings<\/a> podcast, Emmett reflected on the overwhelmingly positive reaction the reunion tour has gotten from fans.<\/p>\n \u201cIn some cases it’s a little overwhelming, and in other cases it’s just a beautiful celebration of joyful noise with these new guys,\u201d he explained. \u201cAnd the harmonies and the songs and the hard work that we all put in, and now we get this payoff of having these audiences\u2026 And every night it gets better. That’s the thing, too. It just keeps kind of resonating and growing.”<\/p>\n READ MORE: How Triumph’s Reunion Tour Happened<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Emmett noted that a lot of hard work has gone into making the reunion shows great.<\/p>\n “You can imagine when you’re inside a band and you’re playing these songs that have such a long history, you’re still looking for a way to kind of have them come alive and this building of a rock ‘n’ roll machine reloaded,\u201d he admitted. \u201cYou’re always tightening up the screws and adjusting the fan belt or whatever. It’s very rewarding, that process.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to original members Emmett, Gil Moore and Mike Levine (who is currently absent due to ongoing health issues), Triumph\u2019s lineup is augmented by guitarist Phil X, drummer and keyboardist Brent Fitz and bassist Todd Kerns. Emmett offered high praise for the band\u2019s newcomers, who have added new energy to Triumph\u2019s set.<\/p>\n “It’s not what Triumph was,\u201d the frontman pointed out. \u201cIt’s Triumph, but it’s kind of this ‘\u00fcber Triumph’, like this kind of Triumph on ‘roids. So the reload actually seemed to give it a lot more cylinders in the engine.\u201d<\/p>\n Triumph\u2019s reunion tour is scheduled to conclude in June 10 in Quebec, a rescheduled performance\u00a0which was postponed earlier in the trek.<\/p>\n Here’s a sneak peek at more than 90 of rock’s biggest Summer 2026 tours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Nick DeRiso<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNew Additions Help Give Triumph More Power<\/h3>\n
