Triumph has shared the following photo with BraveWords, taken backstage after their performance earlier tonight, June 6, at the “Rogers Festival At The Final” in Edmonton, Alberta.
Pictured above (left to right) are: Todd Kerns, Brent Fitz, Rik Emmett, Phil X, and Gil Moore. Original Triumph bassist Mike Levine was absent from the festivities as he was in Toronto, Ontario for an interview with SiriusXM radio personality, Eddie Trunk.
On Thursday, June 5, OEG Sports & Entertainment and the National Hockey League (NHL) announced multi-platinum, award-winning rock band The Glorious Sons would headline the Rogers Festival At The Final, a free outdoor concert in the ICE District ahead of Game 2 of the 2025 Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers on Friday, June 6. Joining them for the special performance were Canadian rock legends Triumph, adding to the celebration in downtown Edmonton.
The Glorious Sons delivered a full headlining set before Game 2, featuring fan favorites and chart-topping hits. Kicking off the event, Triumph took the stage for their first public performance since 2008, treating fans to a three-song set including their iconic hit “Lay It On The Line”, which has become a rallying anthem for Canadians during the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Canadian news outlets CBC, City News, and CTV all covered this special event:
Phil X (Aldo Nova, Frozen Ghost) was a member of Triumph from 1992-1993, appearing on the Edge Of Excess album.
Brent Fitz and Todd Kerns are both members of Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, as well as Toque.
Furthermore, Phil X, Todd Kerns, and Brent Fitz have all contributed to Magic Power: All Star Tribute To Triumph, out now.
Phil X plays guitar on “Spellbound”, “Hold On”, “I Live For The Weekend”, “Follow Your Heart”, and “Allied Forces” – on which he sings lead vocal as well.
Todd Kerns plays bass on “Rock & Roll Machine”, “Magic Power”, “Spellbound”, and “I Live For The Weekend”.
Brent Fitz plays drums on “Hold On”.

Other rockers featured on Magic Power include Dee Snider, Dorothy, Sebastian Bach, Nancy Wilson, Joey Belladonna and Jeff Keith.
The 15-track album features an amazing collection of musical firepower, including drummers Kenny Aronoff and Tommy Aldridge, and guitarists Bumblefoot, Paul Gilbert, Nita Strauss. The project was conceived by renowned producer Mike Clink – who has produced classic recordings for Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crüe and Whitesnake.
The album is available on CD with a 12 page booklet and as a double LP gatefold edition. Order here.
The participants are extremely honored to salute Triumph, including Phil X, who went on to say, “It is so incredible to get back to my roots with my brothers, Gil, Mike and Rik. The Triumph fans will love this!”
Enthusiastically, Journey drummer Deen Castronovo commented, “Triumph was a huge influence, no Gil Moore, no Deen Castronovo singing behind a kit.”
Furthermore, Sebastian Bach said, “The music of Triumph will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m super proud to pay tribute to one of my favorite bands of all time…the Rock n’ Roll Machine known as TRIUMPH!”
Originally formed in 1975 and hailing from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, the trio was always proud of their Great White North roots. And seemingly ever since their inception, Triumph was on the cutting edge of technology when it came to their live show – particularly lighting, sound, and effects.
Sophisticated lasers, pyrotechnics and moving lighting rigs, all computer-controlled – Triumph was one of the first arena rock bands to incorporate all of these elements into their shows. Triumph’s headlining tours were legendary, and the band was featured on many memorable stadium/outdoor shows – including the US Festival, the World Series of Rock, the American Rock Festival and Texxas Jam, Day on the Green, to name but a few.
And now, fans will be able to re-experience Triumph classics in a whole new way – via Magic Power: All-Star Tribute To Triumph.
