The run opens Saturday, Oct. 2 at Perth’s RAC Arena and moves through Adelaide, Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena and Brisbane Entertainment Centre. It also takes in Sydney’s Afterpay Arena and two estate venues: Geelong’s Mount Duneed Estate (Oct. 9) and Pokolbin’s Roche Estate in the Hunter Valley (Oct. 16, closing night). General tickets go on sale Friday, Oct. 16 at 10 a.m. local time, with presales earlier that week.
The dates are Nickelback’s first Australian shows since its Feed the Machine tour in early 2019. The band skipped the country on its 2022 Get Rollin’ run. The Australian leg follows a North American run opening Feb. 6 in Pittsburgh and a U.K. and European leg from May 22 to July 13.
Everything Under the Sun is the band’s first album since leaving BMG, following 2022’s Get Rollin’. Lead single “Rattle the Cage,” featuring guitarist John 5, is currently No. 1 at active rock radio in the U.S., according to the tour announcement. “Leave Me Behind” and “Make Me Love You” have also been released.
Nickelback’s chart record is proof the rockers can still fill arenas. “How You Remind Me” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the Hot 100’s year-end No. 1 single of 2002. Billboard named the band its top rock group of the 2000s. The 2005 album All the Right Reasons produced three Hot 100 top 10 singles, including “Photograph,” “Far Away” and “Rockstar,” and has been certified diamond in the U.S. Don Broco, for its part, took a No. 1 U.K. album in 2021 with Amazing Things.
