TRIUMPH drummer and vocalist Gil Moore has discussed the second leg of the band's "Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded" tour, marking the Canadian rockers' 50th anniversary, in an interview with WNST and Baltimore Positive founder Nestor Aparicio. He said the overwhelmingly positive fan reaction to the first leg made it difficult to turn down Live Nation's request to extend the run, allowing the band to play cities loyal to TRIUMPH that they had not yet visited on the tour.

The extension adds 16 new US dates to the original 27, bringing the tour close to 60 shows in total, with support act April Wine returning for the additional dates. The second leg runs through the Midwest, Northeast, Southwest and West Coast in November and December, featuring Rik Emmett and Gil Moore alongside Phil X, Todd Kerns and Brent Fitz; original bassist Mike Levine has not taken part due to a hand problem disclosed in December 2025. The run concludes with shows at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles on 10 December and Viejas Arena in San Diego on 12 December, with Moore describing the atmosphere at shows so far as an emotional, multi-generational "love fest".
