The Guess Who, one of Canada’s most beloved and influential rock bands, are officially back. Following their recent and highly publicized reunion, founding members Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman have announced a 12-city tour across Canada set for 2026, marking the first extensive run for the reunited lineup in decades. The tour represents not only a long-anticipated musical homecoming but also a symbolic reclamation of the band’s identity after years of legal battles over the use of their name.
The upcoming 2026 trek will span major cities from coast to coast, with newly announced shows beginning May 26 in Moncton, New Brunswick, and running through late August with a performance at the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver, British Columbia. Don Felder, the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and former Eagles guitarist, is set to open most of the dates, adding even more star power to an already historic rock event. Felder will be the supporting act at all shows except the tour’s final two engagements.
In the official tour announcement, Burton Cummings shared his excitement about returning to the road under the band name he helped build into an international phenomenon. “Randy and I are thrilled that our songs have never gone away,” he said. “That people still want to hear us perform them live. We are going to go out and honor the music.” For fans who have followed the band through its many evolutions, Cummings’ return signals a renewed commitment to performing the classic songs that defined the Guess Who’s golden era.
Randy Bachman echoed those sentiments, expressing gratitude and enthusiasm for the new chapter ahead. “I’m looking ahead and very excited to be joining up with Burton and touring as the Guess Who again,” he shared. “Together we created decades of incredible songs and memories that still stand strong today. Can’t wait to sing them with you all soon!”
This reunion and tour come on the heels of a significant legal victory that allowed Cummings and Bachman to regain control of the Guess Who name. After years of disputes with another lineup that had been performing under the same name, the founding members succeeded in reclaiming the rights, a move that fans have celebrated as long overdue. With the name finally back in their hands, Cummings and Bachman wasted no time announcing plans to bring the Guess Who back to major stages.
Before the cross-Canada tour officially launches, the reunited band already has two major performances scheduled, both of which sold out quickly. They will appear at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls on January 31, followed by the Rock Legends Cruise XIII from February 23–27 departing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The strong demand for these early shows suggests that the 2026 tour will be one of the most anticipated rock events of the year.
Interestingly, the 2026 tour is expected to showcase music from across both artists’ storied careers. In recent years, Bachman has toured with a new lineup of Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO), where the band regularly performs songs originally recorded by the Guess Who. According to the reunion announcement, the Guess Who will return the favor by incorporating BTO classics into their 2026 setlists. This crossover promises a uniquely nostalgic experience, honoring the full musical legacy of both Cummings and Bachman.
For fans eager to secure tickets, detailed tour and ticket information is available on the band’s official website. With sold-out shows already setting the tone, demand is expected to be high for all stops on the newly announced itinerary.
