Giant’s original lineup is getting back together, and melodic hard rock fans have been waiting a long time for this one. The band will reunite at the Frontiers Rock Festival 2026, running May 1st through 3rd at the Live Club in Trezzo sull’Adda, Milan, Italy. It’s a rare and genuinely significant moment for a band that helped define the genre.
The reunion features Dann Huff on lead guitar, David Huff on drums, and Mike Brignardello on bass, joined by vocalist Bryan Cole, second guitarist Mark Oakley, and Larry Hall on keyboards. The setlist draws heavily from the band’s first two albums, ‘Last Of The Runaways’ from 1989 and ‘Time To Burn’ from 1991, records that remain touchstones for the melodic hard rock world more than three decades on.
Giant’s story has never been a simple one. Originally formed by brothers Dann and David Huff in the late ’80s, the band disbanded in the early ’90s before Frontiers coaxed them back for 2001’s ‘III.’ Subsequent lineups kept the name alive through ‘Promise Land,’ ‘Shifting Time’ in 2022, and their most recent studio album ‘Stand And Deliver,’ released in May 2025. A one-off charity reunion in a Nashville club in 2017 reminded everyone just how much this band still matters to its audience.
The Frontiers Rock Festival Platinum VIP Experience includes a Q&A session with Giant, offering fans a rare and intimate look at the band’s history and legacy. It’s the kind of access that makes an already exceptional event genuinely memorable for anyone who grew up with these records.
