Nickelback Rules the Road and the Charts
National touring trade publication, Pollstar, recently released their Top 100 World Tours Chart and Nickelback ranked 3rd highest in worldwide ticket sales for the first quarter of 2006. With sales of nearly 415,000 concert tickets, Nickelback's numbers were exceeded only by those of U2 and upcoming touring companions, Bon Jovi.
Chad, Ryan, Mike and Daniel will tour with Bon Jovi in Europe from May 15 - June 11, and return to North America in July to play select dates as Special Guests on Bon Jovi's North American stadium tour - including Montreal's Parc Jean-Drapeau on July 13. The pairing of two of the biggest worldwide live acts on one bill promises to be the ultimate summer event! On this run you can expect a live show with some great production and a few blasts to boot!
