0:00It's May 3rd, from chart to breaking drops. This is Music News today, powered by AI. Triumph just spired up their first tour in over 30 years, celebrating 50 years since forming back in 1975. Late last month, Derek Sharp from Gaouen stepped in for guitarist Phil X at two Canadian shows. April 28th in Halifax and 29th in. Monten handling the gig like a pro while Phil dealt with scheduling issues. The current lineup features originals, Rick Emmett on guitar and vocals, Gil Moore on drums and vocals, plus Phil X, Britt Fitz on drums and keys, and Todd Kerns on bass and vocals. Original bassist Mike Levine is sitting most dates out due to hand problems, though the doors open if he feels up to it. They kick things off April 10th in Orlando, donating all net proceeds to make a wish. Fans are buzzing across generations. Grandpa's bringing grandkids to relive hits, like magic power, fight the good fight, and lay it on the line.

The tour rolls through 10 Canadian cities into early May, then 17 U.S. stops wrapping June 6th in Boston, with April wine opening. This comes after a tribute album last June featuring stars like Slash and Sebastian Bach, plus induction into the Canadian songwriters Hall of Fame. Triumph's legacy of arena rock anthems and epic shows keeps pulling crowds. Proving these Canadian rock legends still got that fire after all these years.
