More than two decades after they last toured under the name, Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman are heading back out as The Guess Who, announcing a full U.S. headline run billed as the Takin’ It Back tour. It marks the first time in 23 years the pair will perform as The Guess Who, closing a long chapter and reopening another for fans who grew up on their records.
The U.S. leg launches June 25 at Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From there, the tour rolls through major markets including Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Support on the run will come from Don Felder, formerly of The Eagles.
Speaking about the reunion, Burton Cummings said: “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.”
Randy Bachman added: “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.”

Formed in 1965, The Guess Who built a catalog that crossed borders and radio formats. Often labeled “the Canadian Beatles,” the band released eleven studio albums that charted in both Canada and the United States, including “American Woman”, which hit No. 1 in Canada and No. 9 in the U.S. Along the way, they landed fourteen singles in the U.S. Top 40 and more than thirty in Canada, with staples like “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature,” and “No Time” becoming fixtures of classic rock radio.
For hard rock fans, this tour is about more than nostalgia. It’s about hearing songs that helped define an era played by the writers who made them. After years of legal wrangling over the band’s name, Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman are stepping back onto the stage together as The Guess Who, bringing that catalog with them.
