Triumph: The Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded Tour

April Wine bring a slice of Canadian rock history to Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on May 9, 2026. Formed in Halifax in 1969 before moving to Montreal, the band shaped a sound that blends melodic hard rock, radio-leaning hooks and electric ballads, carried by tight guitar interplay and clear, direct songwriting. Through the 70s, albums like On Record and Electric Jewels defined their approach with harmonized guitars and sturdy choruses, followed by Stand Back and First Glance as the group hit the North American circuit.

The early 80s pushed that formula further on The Nature of the Beast and Power Play, a period that produced setlist staples such as I Like to Rock, Sign of the Gypsy Queen and Just Between You and Me. After a pause at the end of the decade, April Wine returned in the 90s with Attitude and Frigate and has since focused on the stage, keeping to a classic, melodic hard rock framework. This date circles back through those eras, from riff-driven tracks to slower numbers, in a guitar-centered style that stays close to the band’s core catalogue.
