TRIUMPH made the official announcement today on their website, www.triumphmusic.com

The fans demanded it, and the fans finally got it. After 20 years apart, the long-awaited Triumph reunion (of vocalist/guitarist Rik Emmett, bassist/keyboardist Mike Levine, and vocalist/drummer Gil Moore) took place at Sweden Rock Festival, on June 7, 2008. And now, the band is putting the finishing touches on the DVD of that historic performance.

The tentatively titled ‘Live at Sweden Rock Festival’ set will consist of a DVD and CD, with a release date targeted for later this spring.

“It’s great to finally be able show the world Triumph’s reunion show at the Sweden Rock Festival,” says Mike Levine.”It certainly is one of the most memorable performances of our entire career! And they said it would never happen…”

‘Live at Sweden Rock Festival’ will be released on the TML label, distributed by UMG in Canada and ADA in the US. The set will be released throughout Europe on Frontiers Records.

“Muhahah. Remember Backstreet Boys? Well, we do and we brought one of the boys with us to DK to perform New Tomorrow on this Saturday! Can a rockband do duet with a world-famous boyband singer? – YES THEY CAN, and we LOVE it ” -AFIL

On Saturday, just before the winner of this year’s Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is announced, A Friend in London will be performing ‘New Tomorrow‘ and…

…Howie D of Backstreet Boys will be joining them on stage!

“In A Friend In London we like to break with the norms for what a rockband do. Howie D. is a part of one of the world’s largest pop phenomenon, and that I as a little singer from Stevns will be singing with someone from Backstreet Boys, that is absolutely crazy and we love it“, Tim Schou of AFIL says to DR (Danish Broadcasting Corporation).

Tim also adds that he hopes this special version of ‘New Tomorrow’ will appear on their debut album, expected to release this spring.

The 2012 Dansk Melodi Grand Prix is this Saturday, Jan 21st 2012, at the Gigantium in Aalborg. Eurovision fans can watch the live webcast of this show on DR1, or on its official website.
