Nickelback to Return to Australia for the First Time Since 2019

The Canadian rock band will play seven Australian dates in October 2027 with Don Broco.

Nickelback, the Canadian rock band, has announced they will return to Australia for a series of seven concerts in October 2027, marking their first appearance in the country since 2019. The tour will take place from October 2 to October 16, supporting their upcoming 11th studio album, Everything Under the Sun, set for release on October 30 through Virgin Music Group. England's Don Broco will provide direct support for the Australian leg of the tour.

The concert dates kick off on Saturday, October 2, at Perth's RAC Arena and will continue through Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney. They will also perform at two estate venues: Mount Duneed Estate in Geelong and Roche Estate in the Hunter Valley. General tickets go on sale on Friday, October 16, at 10 a.m. local time, with presales taking place earlier in the week.

This Australian tour follows Nickelback's North American leg, which began on February 6 in Pittsburgh, and a U.K. and European leg from May 22 to July 13. The band's departure from BMG in 2022 led to the recording of Everything Under the Sun, their first album since the Get Rollin' tour. The lead single "Rattle the Cage," which features guitarist John 5, currently sits at No. 1 on active rock radio in the U.S.

Notable hits from Nickelback's discography include "How You Remind Me," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and became the year-end No. 1 single of 2002. The band has been named the top rock group of the 2000s by Billboard. Nickelback's previous Australian tour, the Feed the Machine tour, ran from early 2019 to early 2020.
