In 1975, Triumph was formed by Gil Moore, Mark Levine, Fred Keeler, and Peter Young as a progressive rock band capable of blending hard rock with classical instrumentation. Young and Keeler left soon thereafter and were replaced by Rik Emmett. The classic trio of Moore, Levine, and Emmett continued until 1988 when Emmett left. Moore and Levine carried on as a duo until 1992 when Phil X joined. Unfortunately, the new trio was shortlived, and the band broke up in 1993. Triumph has reunited for only three shows since disbanding: June 7, 1988 at the Swden Rock Festival, July 11, 2008 at the Rocklahoma music festival, and November 16, 2019 at the Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Ontario for the documentary "Triumph: Rock 'n Roll Machine."

Who opened for Triumph in 1983 I believe in Fresno CA. Selland Arena. I hope I have the right group. The opening band had one hit I believe so when they came out a disco ball the guitarist had pink or purple black poke dots. Everyone was silent we were all thinking wtf to a disco ball lol. There song on the radio was rock. Lol Triumph was awesome good we were there for them not opening act. I do like that song but not recalling name can't find it to add to a playlist..
Thank You, Missy
Triumph played Westgate Collegiate in Thunder Bay the winter of 75/76 (?) Their road crew bailed in Wawa. They were going on to Winnipeg, I was working the gym lighting that night. I got asked to crew for them by Gil but didn't go. Biggest mistake ever !!

Triumph was originally founded with four members:
After the release of the first single, Keeler and Young left the band. They were replaced by Rik Emmett who joined the band on vocals, synthesizers, keyboards, bass, and guitar. Emmett, Levine, and Moore are considered Triumph's classic trio even though Emmett technically wasn’t a founding member.
The classic lineup of Triumph includes three members whose ages are:
Triumph was formed in 1975 and rose to prominence in the late 1970s and ‘80s, capitalizing on its reputation as a live band.
In 1988, Emmett quit Triumph to pursue a solo career. This caused the classic Triumph trio to officially breakup for the first time. When asked why he left Emmett said, "I quit Triumph because I was unable to fulfill my own goals in the Triumph culture. Additionally, there was pressure from managers, agents, and even the record label."
Triumph, however, did not officially breakup at this point. While the band technically became a duo after Emmett left, they replaced him with Phil X in 1992. But in 1993 when Polygram, the record label which signed Triumph, dissolved, Triumph formally disbanded. In the subsequent years, they reunited several times but not for any significant period of time.
Triumph performed at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on October 30, 1981.
Both Rush and Triumph were famous Canadian bands throughout the 1970s and ‘80s. While both were popular around the same time period, Rush was formed around seven years earlier than Triumph.
Triumph has had 373 concerts.
Triumph is most often considered to be Rock, Metal, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Progressive Rock, Soft Rock, Album Oriented Rock (AOR), Canadian, Mellow Gold, Glam Metal, Canadian Metal, and Classic Canadian Rock.
The last Triumph concert was on September 22, 2022 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan, United States. The bands that performed were: Triumph Foghat.
The songs that Triumph performs live vary, but here's the latest setlist that we have from the September 04, 2022 concert:
