New York, NY – Unstoppable rock powerhouse Nickelback
have announced dates for
their upcoming North American tour in support of their new album Dark
Horse, released on Roadrunner Records on November 18th. The Live Nation
produced tour, which kicks off on February 25th in Nashville, TN, hits
major arenas in over 30 cities across the continent. Seether and Saving
Abel have signed on as support acts.

presale tickets starting December 1st at 10am Local Time through Citi’s

Nickelback’s first tour under their Live Nation Artist Nation deal which
was announced earlier this year.
Nickelback are a phenomenally successful touring band whose tours have
grossed in excess of $100 million thus far and have sold more than 30
million albums worldwide. Dark Horse is Nickelback’s first release since
the immensely popular All The Right Reasons, released in 2005. In
support of the album, the band has recently appeared on The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno and 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.” Entertainment Weekly declared, “The only sure thing
in the music business in 2008.”
The first single, “Gotta Be Somebody,” is topping the charts with
impressive numbers: Top 5 Rock, Top 10 Modern, Top 5 Hot A/C and Top 15
at Pop. At press time, the track has an estimated audience of over 45
million. The band is currently appearing in a major advertising campaign
with Citi, featuring Nickelback in network and cable TV, print and
online ads throughout November and December, showcasing “Gotta Be
Somebody.”
Nickelback re-launched their official fan club website on November 13th
where members can gain exclusive access to advance concert tickets,
limited-edition merchandise, candid photos, audio and video. The site
offers members exclusives, including special contests for merchandise,
tickets and meet and greets with the band. There’s also a new social
platform enabling members to network and chat with other members via
message boards, a live chat room, blogs and many other interactive
features. Members will have access to pre-sale ticketing beginning
