Nickelback to rock the UK in October 2012

Canada’s multi-million selling rock stars Nickelback are returning to the British isles in October to present their seventh studio album “Here and Now” (Roadrunner, Universal Music Canada, 2011).

Chad Kroeger and his army will be covering the length of the country in just seven days, connecting with audiences old and new, rocking arenas for the masses and playing more intimate shows for the first time in two and a half years.

The band’s new UK tour will kick off on Monday October 1 in London 02 Arena, and includes gigs in Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, and Sheffield.

Talking about the shows in the UK, vocalist Chad Kroeger said: “We can't wait to get back and play in the UK.  Our shows there have always been some of the most memorable for us and it's all because of the fans.”

Over their career, the foursome has achieved five Grammy nominations, three American Music Awards as well as 12 Juno awards and were named “Group of the Decade” by Billboard magazine in 2009, this added to its multi-platinum hit albums and singles all over Europe and almost 45 million albums sold worldwide.

The setlist will contain the band’s massive hits like How You Remind Me and Rockstar, new favourites from their last record like When We Stand Together, the ultimate party anthem Bottoms Up and forthcoming single Lullaby.

Tickets go on sale 9 am on March 30 and will be available from Live Nation’s website.
