They kick things off April 10th in Orlando, Florida, donating every net penny from that hard rock live show to make a wish for kids with serious illnesses. Fast forward to April 22nd at GFL Memorial Gardens in Saltierce. Marie Ontario, where fan videos captured them ripping through hits like magic power. Lay it on the line and fight the good fight in the encore. The trek rolls with opener April wine, hitting 10 Canadian spots from that salt gig through May 8th in Calgary, Alberta. Then at 17 U.S. dates starting May 13th in Rosemont, Illinois, wrapping June 6th in Boston. Rick Emmett figures the crowds mix longtime fans reliving glory days with grandads bringing grandkids, the regeneration's deep, all pulled by those, timeless songs.

Michael Levine's health has been shaky, so he's sitting out most shows, though the doors wide open if he wants to jump in, even just on keys. The band's legacy stacks of huge, over 15 million albums sold worldwide, gold and platinum plaques and fresh honors like last year's All-Star, tribute album with, slash and Sebastian Bach, plus induction into the Canadian songwriters Hall of Fame. After patching up old wrists from the 80s split, Emmett and the crew are back in sync, channeling that high energy live magic that packed arenas. Back in the day, with pyros and lasers in the mix again, this tour set to remind everyone why triumph owns that classic rock throne.
