Nickelback is one of the most commercially successful rock bands in music history, having sold nearly 65 million albums over more than three decades and gathered listeners across several generations. The band’s big breakthrough came in 2001 with the album “Silver Side Up” and its single “How You Remind Me”, which conquered the top of both rock and pop charts. It was followed by a series of worldwide hits, including “Someday”, “Far Away”, “Photograph”, “Rockstar” and “Burn It to the Ground”. Powerful guitar sound, Chad Kroeger’s distinctive voice, and melodies that are hard not to sing along to have become Nickelback’s hallmark over the years.
Nickelback’s success story is also complemented by a number of significant achievements. In 2023, the musicians were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, while their previous “Get Rollin’” world tour became the fastest-selling and most attended in the band’s history. Nickelback’s popularity was further confirmed by the Netflix documentary “Hate to Love: Nickelback”, which made it into the platform’s top ten most-watched films worldwide and revealed the musicians’ journey from a small Canadian town to international recognition.
The new world tour “Everything Under The Sun” is dedicated to the band’s eleventh studio album, which will be released on October 30. On it, Nickelback adds a more personal and emotional sound to their signature energetic rock music. The new album’s musical variety can already be heard in the singles “Leave Me Behind” and “Make Me Love You”, as well as “Rattle The Cage”, recorded with guitarist John 5, which reached number one on the US Active Rock radio chart. The tour will begin in North America in February and continue in Europe in May, where Riga is included on the route alongside metropolises such as London, Dublin, Munich and Milan.
As special guests at Nickelback’s concert in Riga, British rock band Don Broco will perform, blending rock, metal, post-hardcore and elements of electronic music. The band is known for energetic concerts, sold-out shows at legendary British venues such as Wembley Arena and Alexandra Palace, as well as performances at the “Download” and “Reading & Leeds” festivals. The two bands have already collaborated in the studio, recording the song “NightmareTripping” together, and the upcoming tour will continue this musical partnership on stage as well.
