Rik Emmett, the Canadian rock legend and former member of Triumph, is gearing up for the band’s first major tour in over 30 years. In a recent Instagram post, Emmett shared a photo of custom guitar picks with his name and the Triumph logo, teasing their upcoming tour, “Rock and Roll Machine Reloaded 2026.”
Fans eagerly reacted to the news, expressing their excitement at the prospect of getting their hands on these unique guitar picks during Triumph’s tour. One fan even reminisced about a pick they received from Emmett back in the 70s during a concert in Texas.
Before the tour announcement, Emmett hinted at using a new guitar in his performances. In a video posted in November, Emmett showcased his new Godin A12 DLX guitar, playing the intro to Triumph’s song “Magic Power” and expressing his eagerness to put it to good use.
Triumph, formed in 1975, is known for their powerful arena rock hits from the 70s and 80s. The band’s upcoming tour, “Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded,” marks their return to the stage after a long hiatus, coinciding with their 50th anniversary celebration.
Emmett recently shared on The Preston and Steve Show that the band’s iconic songs have a way of pulling them back into the world of rock and roll, prompting them to reunite for this momentous tour. The tour is set to kick off in April in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, and will conclude in Boston, MA in June.
As Emmett and Triumph prepare to hit the road once again, fans and music enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating the experience of witnessing these rock legends perform live after decades of absence. The nostalgia, the energy, and the passion of their music are sure to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression on all who attend.
