Beloved Canadian sons and classic rock legends Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman have announced an extensive U.S. headline tour, performing as The Guess Who for the first time in 23 years. Dubbed the Takin’ It Back Tour, the newly announced U.S. dates kick off in June and will include a stop in Cincinnati, OH at Riverbend Music Center on Saturday, June 27. The tour will feature support from Don Felder (formerly of the Eagles).
Cummings comments, “Randy and I are incredibly grateful that our music has endured all these years. Knowing that people still want to hear these songs live means everything to us, and when we go out on stage, our goal is to truly honor the music.” Bachman adds, “I’m really excited about reuniting with Burton and touring again as The Guess Who. We created an amazing body of work together, along with memories that have lasted for decades, and those songs are still as strong as ever. I can’t wait to sing them with everyone very soon.”
After six decades and a hard-fought battle to reclaim their name, The Guess Who’s Takin’ It Back Tour will officially kick off in Canada, making stops in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, and more - dates are on sale now.
Formed in 1965, The Guess Who - who have been dubbed “the Canadian Beatles” - released eleven studio albums, all of which charted in both Canada and the United States, including 1970s American Woman, which went to Number One in Canada and Number 9 in the US. They’ve placed fourteen singles in the US Top 40 chart and more than thirty in Canada - rock & roll classics like “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature,” and “No Time.”
With their unmatched songwriting catalog and deep influence on rock music, this moment marks a rare and meaningful full-circle return - one that longtime fans have been waiting for, and one that underscores just how enduring their mighty legacy continues to be.
