“Nickelback” - timeless and beautiful post-grunge

Latest Premieres

Here is your five cents change

Nickelback is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1995 in Hannah, Alberta, Canada. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Chad Kroeger; guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake; bassist Mike Krueger and drummer Daniel Adair. The name of the group is derived from the English. “Here's your nickel back” - “Here's your change.” Or literally: “Here’s your five cents in change” (nickel is the American name for a five-cent coin). The group was included in the list of the best artists of the first decade of the XNUMXst century, according to Billboard, where it took first place among specialized rock groups.

The success of Nickelback is secured by impressive album sales figures (more than 50 million copies worldwide), securing them the status of the “eleventh most sold artist” and second place among foreign artists sold in the United States in the current century. The hit song How Do You Remind Me was named by Billboard magazine as one of the Rock Hits of the Decade and put on the 4 position in the Top 10 list of songs of the 2000th. Nickelback’s baggage now contains twelve successful world tours and over eight million fans.

Nickelback European Tour. Moscow, May 2018.

In 2017, Nickelback announced a major European tour called “Feed The Machine”, dedicated to the release of the album of the same name. According to fans, the biggest and coolest show in the group's history is expected. The tour is considered a symbol of the musicians' triumphant return to Europe, following the release of their 9th studio album of the same name, released by BMG. This album is without a doubt one of the highest quality and energetic works since their breakthrough album Silver Side Up.

As part of the announced tour, on May 21, 2018, “Nickelback” will perform at the capital’s Olimpiysky Sports Complex. The concert is scheduled to start at 19.00. Ticket prices start from 2500 rubles.

The album “Feed The Machine” does not look homogeneous: in addition to the traditional ballad performance, there are also aggressive tracks that are not very (in our opinion) typical for the group. According to the editors, “Song On Fire” (#3), “After The Rain” (#5), and “Home” (#7) sound great, as always. We didn't like the title track at all, but that's a matter of taste.

Fans of the band can also expect hits from their 2005 album “All The Right Reasons” to be performed at the concert. Check it out to see if you can become a fan of this truly talented and prolific (in a good way) team.

Let us remind you that throughout its existence since 1995, the band has recorded nine full-length studio albums (and more than a hundred tracks in all albums and collections), and also shot 32 videos. You can watch them on the official Nickelback channel on YouTube. The top spot in terms of number of views (more than a third of a billion) is firmly held by the video “How You Remind Me,” filmed back in 2009. We didn’t really like the clip, so we’re not publishing it in this article.

And of course we will look forward to the performance of such hits as “When We Stand Together” from the album “Here And Now” (2011), “If Today Was Your Last Day” from the album “Dark Horse” (2008) and other songs.
