Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings to Tour as The Guess Who for First Time in More Then Two Decades

After regaining rights to the band name, the two principal songwriters are now able to tour as The Guess Who again. Seven Canadian arena shows have just been announced for summer 2026, joining a previously announced concert in Niagara Falls.

Guess Who is heading back on the road?

This morning (Nov. 10), Live Nation Canada announced a major 2026 tour by the now reunited classic lineup of legendary Canadian rock band The Guess Who, featuring band principals Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings. Beginning at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on May 30, the seven-city Canadian arena tour closes out at Rogers Place in Edmonton on June 10, with stops in Hamilton, London, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Calgary in between.
