The band consisting of Canadian rock legends Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman announced on Monday a 14-date tour called “Takin’ it Back,” with a June 10 concert at Edmonton’s Rogers Place.

They have not toured under the Guess Who name in 23 years.

Cummings and Bachman recently acquired the trademark to the band’s name in a legal battle with another group that was formed by their former bassist.

After each launched a solo career in the 70s, bassist Jim Kale began performing under the Guess Who name. Upon realizing it wasn’t trademarked, he registered the mark.

In 2023, Cummings, who owns the publishing rights to the band’s biggest songs, terminated his performing rights agreement. By sacrificing royalties, he killed the ability of any other performer to play those songs.

“Randy and I are thrilled that our songs have never gone away. That people still want to hear us perform them live. We are going to go out and honour the music,” Cummings said in a press release.

“I’m looking ahead and very excited to be joining up with Burton and touring as the Guess Who again. Together we created decades of incredible songs and memories that still stand strong today,” Bachman added.

Pre-sale starts Tuesday and general sale starts Friday.
