After a triumphant return to the stage 2025, iconic North Shore rock band The Troubadours are back this July for a 2026 reunion show! They will be joined for this year’s event by old friends junegroove and Courtney Reid. Known for their energetic live shows, The Troubadours built a significant following in Boston and beyond during their 10-year run between 1995-2005. And their recent reunion shows suggest a new trend forming. “It’s not an annual tradition just yet,” says Troubadours lead singer Adam Caress. “But last year’s show was so much fun that we’re excited to be back on stage in Gloucester again this summer.”
