MUSIC: Nickelback announce Dublin date for tour

MULTI-PLATINUM selling rock band Nickelback are set to embark on a massive headline tour later this year.

The tour kicks off in Helsinki, Finland on September 2, with support coming from fellow Canadian rockers Monster Truck.

This will mark Nickelback’s tenth world tour and will see the band performing in 32 cities across Europe this Autumn, including shows at both London’s O2 Arena and SSE Arena Wembley.

The band has also confirmed they will play the 3Arena, Dublin on October 9 and the SSE Arena, Belfast on October 10.

Nickelback have cemented themselves as one of the most commercially viable and important acts of the past two decades.

The group’s worldwide sales exceed 50 million units and their irresistible smash ‘How You Remind Me’ remains Billboard’s ‘Top Rock Song of the Decade’.

Among all of the accolades, they’ve been crowned Billboard’s ‘Top Rock Group of the Decade’ as well.

Along the way, they’ve received a staggering nine Grammy Award nominations, three American Music Awards, a World Music Award, and a People’s Choice Award. In their native Canada, the band have garnered 36 Juno Award nominations of which 12 won in a variety of categories and have been inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame.

Nickelback return to Europe with a high octane rock show. In the words of singer Chad Kroeger: “Get ready Europe, we are bringing one hell of a loud party to our fans over there!”
