band reunion

Group plays again

A band reunion is when musicians who previously performed together as a group reconvene after a period of separation or breakup.

The term usually applies to popular music acts reforming for tours, albums, or one-off performances: The band reunion tour sold out in minutes.

Reunions range from full original lineups to partial assemblies with replacement members, and may be brief nostalgia events or sustained comebacks.
