SAGA Returns To Live Stage After More Than A Year
Written by megarock on June 13, 2026
Canadian progressive music icons SAGA played their first concert in more than a year this past Thursday, June 11 at the River Cree Resort & Casino in Enoch, Alberta, Canada. Fan-filmed video of the show can be seen below (uploaded by coldistheshoulder on YouTube). Also appearing on the bill were Canadian hard rock veterans HELIX.
Following his extended recovery after being diagnosed with cancer, SAGA frontman Michael Sadler rejoined guitarist Ian Crichton and keyboardist Jim Gilmour in the band’s core lineup.
A few updates to SAGA‘s touring lineup have also been made for the group’s current shows. Mike Thorne remains the primary drummer, though fans may see the familiar and highly capable Brad Park stepping in for selected dates, as he has done successfully in the past. On bass, Mike Borkosky returns to handle those duties after performing with SAGA on the 2024 tour. As the band welcomes Mike back, it also marks the end of Dusty Chesterfield‘s time with SAGA.
