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

After regaining the rights to the band name, Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings, the principal songwriters, will tour again as The Guess Who. Seven Canadian arena concerts have been announced for summer 2026, in addition to a previously scheduled show in Niagara Falls.

Tour Announcement and Dates

Live Nation Canada revealed a major 2026 tour featuring the reunited classic lineup of legendary Canadian rock band The Guess Who, led by Bachman and Cummings. The tour begins on May 30 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and concludes on June 10 at Rogers Place in Edmonton. Stops include Hamilton, London, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Calgary.

Tickets for all shows go on sale in November.

Pre-Tour Niagara Falls Performance

Before the arena tour, The Guess Who will perform on January 31, 2026, at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario. This marks the first time in over 20 years that Bachman and Cummings will perform together under The Guess Who name.

Background on the Band’s Legal Dispute

Over the years, Bachman and Cummings have often played together as Bachman-Cummings, performing classic Guess Who songs but not under the band’s name due to a long-standing legal dispute with other former members.

Cummings described the other lineup of musicians touring as The Guess Who for many years as a "cover band."

Summary

The reunion of Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings as The Guess Who ends a long legal battle, bringing the original sound back on a major Canadian tour in 2026.
