What the reports add
Billboard notes that the Australian dates are Nickelback’s first shows in the country since the Feed the Machine tour in early 2019, and that the band skipped Australia on its 2022 Get Rollin’ run. The announcement follows a North American leg that began Feb. 6 in Pittsburgh and a U.K./European leg from May 22 to July 13.
What was said
The outlet does not quote band members, but highlights that the lead single “Rattle the Cage,” featuring guitarist John 5, is currently No. 1 on active rock radio in the U.S., according to the tour announcement.
How it came about
Nickelback’s 2027 tour supports its 11th studio album, Everything Under the Sun, due Oct. 30 via Virgin Music Group. The band’s previous album Get Rollin’ was released in 2022 under BMG; Everything Under the Sun is its first release after leaving BMG.
