The Triumph band has cancelled the remaining dates on its 2026 Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded tour, including two Ontario concerts, after citing sudden and unexpected medical circumstances affecting the group.
The announcement was issued Friday, October 30, 2026, less than three weeks before the second leg was scheduled to begin.
The band said the circumstances made it impossible to rehearse and proceed with the shows as planned.

Triumph Band: Why Triumph cancelled the 2026 tour
Triumph did not identify which member or members were affected, and did not provide further medical details.
The band said the outlook was positive and indicated that it intended to return to the stage when possible.
That wording leaves open the possibility of future performances, but no rescheduled dates have been announced.
The cancellation applies to the remaining 2026 RELOADED dates rather than the entire touring project.
Triumph’s official website now lists no upcoming events.
Ontario concerts in Oshawa and London are cancelled
Canadian fans were due to see Triumph at Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa on Friday, December 18, and at Canada Life Place in London on Saturday, December 19.
Both venues now identify the concerts as cancelled.
The London event was scheduled to include April Wine as the special guest.
The cancelled run also included dates across the United States, beginning with a November 17 concert in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and continuing through December performances in California, Nevada and other states.
What ticket holders need to know
Triumph said tickets for affected dates will be refunded automatically through the original point of purchase.
Fans do not need to submit a separate refund request, according to the band’s notice.
Ticket holders with questions are being directed to the ticket provider used for the purchase.
Tribute Communities Centre said refunds for its Oshawa event should appear on the original payment method within 14 to 21 days after funds are received from the event organizer.
If tickets were transferred, the refund may be sent to the original purchaser rather than the person who currently holds the tickets.
Triumph’s comeback tour was part of a 50th anniversary celebration
The Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded tour marked Triumph’s return to major touring after more than three decades away from the road.
The lineup featured original members Rik Emmett and Gil Moore alongside Phil X, Brent Fitz and Todd Kerns.
The official tour site described the 2026 shows as a celebration of the band’s 50-year history.
The first leg sold more than 135,000 tickets, according to the Oshawa venue’s event information.
That response led to the addition of 16 U.S. shows and two Ontario dates.
Triumph formed in 1975 and became one of Canada’s best-known arena-rock bands through songs including “Magic Power,” “Lay It on the Line” and “Fight the Good Fight.”
For now, the band has not announced whether the cancelled concerts will be rescheduled in 2027 or at another time.
