TRIUMPH Set to Unleash Documentary Capturing Their Epic Reunion Tour
In an electrifying revelation on The Joel Martin Mastery Podcast, TRIUMPH's powerhouse drummer and vocalist Gil Moore has confirmed that the iconic Canadian rockers are in the throes of crafting a brand-new documentary chronicling their recent reunion tour, which marked their first live venture in over 30 years. The 2026 tour saw original members Gil Moore and Rik Emmett join forces with guitar virtuoso Phil X, and the dynamic rhythm section of drummer Brent Fitz and bassist Todd Kerns, who bring their own heavyweight credentials from SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS. Notably absent was original bassist Mike Levine, who had to sit this one out due to health issues affecting his playing ability.
Moore, with his characteristic candor, teased fans about the upcoming documentary, stating, "It’s going to be totally different than the first documentary, but I think it will provide an insight to fans about the behind the scenes… how this came together and why we do what we do." This documentary promises to be a raw and unfiltered look at the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of the band as they navigated the tumultuous waters of reuniting after decades apart.
Reflecting on the genesis of this reunion tour, Moore revealed some personal anecdotes, sharing how the band's members diverged on their paths after their original split. He reminisced about wanting to be present for his family and how the passage of time has shifted perspectives: “My kids are adults now. My wife's completely supportive of all this reunion stuff.” The sentiment resonates with those who have followed TRIUMPH since the dawn of their career, and it paints a picture of a band that has evolved alongside their devoted fanbase.
The reunion was serendipitously kicked off during an appearance at the Rogers Festival At The Final. What began as a casual gig turned into a full-blown tour, fueled by a newfound camaraderie and infectious energy amongst the band members. “The enthusiasm in the dressing room… it’s like a winning team,” Moore declared, underscoring the revitalized spirit within TRIUMPH. The chemistry is palpable, and fans will undoubtedly feel that electricity when they catch the documentary.
Fans are already buzzing about the legacy of TRIUMPH, especially after the success of their first documentary, "Triumph: Rock & Roll Machine" which debuted at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. This new project is set to deepen that connection, delivering a comprehensive exploration of the band's journey back to the stage. With their 2026 tour celebrating their 50th anniversary, the anticipation is electric, and this documentary promises to be an essential piece of rock history.
As TRIUMPH continues their tour across North America, they’ll be supported by fellow Canadian rock legends APRIL WINE, further solidifying their status as titans of the genre. The stage is set, the excitement is brewing, and the documentary is poised to capture the heart and soul of a band that refuses to fade into the annals of time.
