From a press release:

It was announced today that multi-platinum Canadian rock band Nickelback will hit the road this summer, bringing some of their biggest hits to venues across North America. This 2020 headlining tour will celebrate the 15th anniversary of their diamond-certified album “All the Right Reasons” by performing the record in its entirety, in addition to a slew of hits fans know and love.

The No. 1 album produced an astounding seven radio singles, five of which were Top 20 Hot 100 singles, including “Photograph,” “Rockstar,” “Far Away,” “If Everyone Cared,” and “Savin’ Me.” Grammy Award-winning alternative rockers Stone Temple Pilots will join them as special guest on all dates, including Saturday, July 11 at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey. Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown will open the show at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets, which start at $25, go on sale to general public beginning this Thursday, Jan. 23 at 10 a.m. For the Hershey show, tickets will only be available online at ticketmaster.com for the first day. After that, tickets can also be purchased at hersheyentertainment.com and the Giant Center box office (550 Hersheypark Dr., Hershey). Nickelback Fan Club members have early access to tickets and VIP packages in an exclusive member pre-sale that begins Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 10 a.m.

Upon release in 2005, “All the Right Reasons” debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and marked the bands third straight No. 1 debut in their native Canada. It spent 110 weeks in the Top 30 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and received multiple gold and platinum certifications around the world. With over 19 million copies sold worldwide, the iconic record is one of the bestselling albums in North America.

Since forming in Alberta, Canada in 1995, globally celebrated Nickelback have cemented themselves as one of the most commercially viable and important acts of the past three decades. Nickelback’s success includes worldwide sales of more than 50 million units, solidifying their status as one of the top-selling acts of all time.

Their inescapable and irresistible smash “How You Remind Me” was named Billboard’s “Top Rock Song of the Decade” and was No. 4 on the Top 10 songs of the 2000s list. “All the Right Reasons” was diamond certified (10 million+ copies sold) by the RIAA in 2018, putting them on an elite shortlist of artists to ever accomplish this.

Among all these accolades, they’ve also been named Billboard’s “Top Rock Group of the Decade.” And, along the way, they have received a staggering nine Grammy Award nominations, three American Music Awards, a World Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, 12 JUNO Awards, seven MuchMusic Video Awards, and were inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2007.

With more than 23 chart-topping singles and fans spanning the globe, Nickelback boasts 12 consecutive sold-out world tours, playing to well over eight million diehard and adoring fans.

With over 50 million albums sold, Stone Temple Pilots roared on to the scene in 1992 with their raucous debut, “Core.” A breakout success, the album peaked No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart and dominated radio waves with hits like “Sex Type Thing,” “Wicked Garden,” and the Grammy-Award winning smash single “Plush.”

Boasting the inimitable riffs of guitarist Dean DeLeo, the propulsive rhythm section of bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz, and the charismatic baritone of frontman Scott Weiland, STP ruled airways, video playlists, and charts alike over their legendary career. On Feb. 7, the band will release their first all-acoustic and eighth studio album, “Perdida,” their second album with lead singer Jeff Gutt.
