The melodic hard rock band Giant will reunite their original lineup for a special performance at the upcoming Frontiers Rock Festival 2026. This announcement was made by Frontiers Rock Festival.
The festival’s official announcement highlighted this historic reunion as a significant moment for melodic hard rock fans worldwide.
“Giant joins the Frontiers Rock Festival line up! Giant are officially reuniting their ORIGINAL lineup for a full show at the Frontiers Rock Festival 2026 — a truly historic and long-awaited moment for melodic hard rock fans worldwide,” the festival organizers stated.
The announcement provided details about the band’s lineup and performance plans.
“At Frontiers Rock Festival 2026, Giant will take the stage with Dann Huff (lead guitar), David Huff (drums), and Mike Brignardello (bass), plus the ‘Time to Burn’ touring members Larry Oakley (guitars) and Larry Hall (keyboards), with Bryan Cole on vocals, delivering a set packed with their most iconic songs — primarily drawn from those legendary first two albums that defined their sound and legacy,” they continued.
The Frontiers Rock Festival 2026 is scheduled to take place on May 1-3, 2026 at the Live Club in Trezzo sull’Adda (Milan), Italy.
This reunion marks a significant milestone in the band’s history. It brings together musicians who helped define the melodic hard rock sound of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Parade reported that Giant’s original lineup consisted of brothers Dann and David Huff, keyboardist Alan Pasqua, and bassist Mike Brignardello, who formed the band in Nashville in 1987. The band eventually disbanded in 1992 but has experienced multiple reunions and lineup changes over the past four decades.
The band’s journey through the music industry has been marked by both commercial success and creative evolution. Heaven’s Metal Magazine noted that the current lineup is anchored by founding members David Huff and Mike Brignardello. They have been joined by guitarist John Roth from Winger and Starship, along with vocalist Kent Hilli in recent years.
Giant’s musical legacy continues to evolve with their recent creative output. Parade revealed that the band’s most recent studio album, “Stand and Deliver,” was released on July 4, 2025. This marks their continued creative output following decades of intermittent activity.
The Frontiers Rock Festival 2026 will feature over 21 artists, including notable acts such as Starship, Night Ranger, and Stryper. Giant’s original lineup reunion stands as one of the festival’s most anticipated performances. This gathering represents not just a nostalgic moment for fans, but a celebration of the enduring appeal of melodic hard rock music that defined an era.
