An excerpt from an interview at Gibson.com with Rick Emmet.
...We’re scheduled to go for a dinner tonight with a couple of guys from Live Nation that have flown into town and want to take us to dinner. I’m sure there’s going to be some sort of a pitch. The rumors that have been sort of blowing in the wind are that Van Halen want to go back out yet again next year, but they’re going to need some sort of support to make the packaging a little more interesting. Because Triumph hasn’t really ever toured in any kind of a nostalgia way, I think Live Nation kind of goes, “Oh, yeah, you guys would be perfect for that.” So, we’ll see sort of the size and the shape and the glitter of the golden carrots that they have.

Now that'd be a show to see. Do it. Do it. Do it!!! |

It'll never happen. It's been my understanding that Van Halen never wanted an opening act to be "too good". If Triumph are up to bringing their "A" game, they would blow Van Halen off the stage most nights. Eddie and Dave wouldn't like that. BTW- I WOULD love to see that tour though.  |

The Van Halen reunion tour in late '07 was a smokin' show that was nothing less than top drawer as a performance when I saw them. ...best concert I've yet seen (or heard). |

I haven't seen Triumph almost 30 years! Would love to see them with or without VH.
I'm so over VH now.

I'm no longer interested in Van Halen either. They could possibly change my mind of they recorded something.
