Nickelback Announce North American Tour Dates

By jyillian shmidt

Nickelback announces their 2009 Concert Tour. In support of their new album, nickelback has recently appeared on The American Music Awards. Critics and fans alike are praising Dark Horse. The New York Times raved, "Nickelback ... has been responsible for some of the heaviest pop hits of this decade and more notably, it has almost single handedly preserved the idea of the arena-rock ballad."

In 2005 Nickelback released All The Right Reasons. Now Dark Horse is poised to set new records. Nickelback already has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide. And their tours have grossed in excess of $100 million. We call that success.

Four Canadians. Overnight success? Hard work? 1996 is the year the fame started for Nickelback. With 2 albums released and tours starting they showed hard work pays off.

By 2000 they had produced a third record, titled The State, which received significant radio play in their native Canada. The State was soon released on a major label in the United States. The album produced two top 10 singles. Both 'Breathe' and 'Leader of Men' received radio play in the US and Canada and started to get the band noticed by rock fans everywhere.

Nickelback re-launched their official fan club site on November 13th, 2008 where members can gain exclusive access to limited-edition merchandise and, audio and video. The site offers members exclusives, including tickets. There's also a new social platform enabling members to network and chat with other members via blogs and many other interactive features. - 23815
