A Band with a Rich History
Founded in Mississauga, Ontario in 1975, Triumph comprises members Rik Emmett (guitar, vocals), Mike Levine (bass, keyboards), and Gil Moore (drums, vocals). They rose from local performances in high school auditoriums and rock bars to selling out major arenas, including Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens and Reunion Arena in Dallas. With their exceptional musicianship, powerful vocals, and high-production live shows, Triumph helped define the era of arena rock. The band has sold over 15 million albums worldwide and garnered multiple gold and platinum certifications, solidifying their global following through headline tours and landmark festival performances like the iconic 1983 US Festival, which drew over 500,000 attendees.
Recent Recognition and Celebration
Triumph’s return to the stage follows a significant year that celebrated their impact across generations. In June 2025, they were honored with the release of Magic Power: All-Star Tribute to Triumph, a tribute album featuring renowned rock artists such as Phil X, Sebastian Bach, and Slash. This album was produced by the legendary Mike Clink, known for his work with Guns N’ Roses and Mötley Crüe.
Additionally, Triumph was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in October 2025, a testament to their lasting influence and contributions to Canada’s cultural heritage.
