Nickelback Announces 2027 Everything Under The Sun World Tour — and Yes, They're Playing T-Mobile Arena

LAS VEGAS

Go ahead and get the jokes out of your system. We'll wait. Done? Good — because while the internet spent the last two decades making Nickelback the punchline, the band quietly became one of the most bulletproof arena acts on the planet: RIAA Diamond-certified, Grammy-nominated, and coming off a Get Rollin' world tour that was the fastest-selling and best-attended run of their career. Now they're doing it again, bigger.

The Canadian quartet announced the 2027 Everything Under The Sun Tour on Friday, a global arena run behind their eleventh studio album, Everything Under The Sun, due October 30 via Virgin Music Group. English four-piece Don Broco joins as direct support and special guests on every leg — the two bands already have history, having collaborated on "Nightmare Tripping," the title track of Don Broco's latest record.

The rollout is already working. Lead single Rattle The Cage, featuring former Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie guitarist John 5, is sitting at No. 1 on U.S. Active Rock radio — another chart-topper for a catalog that has defined rock radio for more than two decades. Follow-ups Leave Me Behind and Make Me Love You show the other side of the record: more vulnerable, more emotionally expansive. Arena riffs on one hand, open wounds on the other. That's the Nickelback formula, and it has never not worked.

The John 5 pairing is the kind of move that tells you exactly where this band's head is. The former Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson guitarist is a shredder's shredder, and putting him on the lead single is a statement of intent: this record leads with guitars. KNAC's announcement coverage wrote that the single arrives with "blistering guitars, pounding riffs and arena-sized energy" — a deliberate tone-setter before Leave Me Behind and Make Me Love You show the record's more vulnerable side. It's the classic Nickelback two-step: hit them with the riff first, then hit them with the chorus they can't get out of their head for a week.

The Vegas stop — and the rest of the map

Here's the Previously angle: the North American leg brings the band to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in April, right in the middle of a West Coast swing that also hits Seattle, Sacramento, Anaheim, Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Denver before a Texas run through Dallas, Houston and San Antonio closes the leg on May 1. One more North American date follows: Mexico City's CDMX Arena on May 7.

The full North American itinerary opens February 6 at Pittsburgh's PPG Paints Arena and reads like a greatest-hits of big rooms: Chicago's United Center, Newark's Prudential Center, Boston's TD Garden, Toronto's Scotiabank Arena (March 21, with a second Ontario date the night before in Hamilton), Montreal's Bell Centre, Vancouver's Rogers Arena. There's also a one-off festival-style appearance February 27 at The Hondo Rodeo Fest in Tampa — Don Broco sits that one out.

Then it's across the Atlantic: the UK and European leg launches May 22 at the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds, running through London, Birmingham, Dublin, Glasgow and Manchester before continental dates in Brussels, Amsterdam, Germany, Zurich, Milan, Vienna, Prague and Budapest, plus a Nordic swing through Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Finland, Norway and Sweden. That leg wraps July 13 at Copenhagen's Royal Arena.

Australia closes the whole thing in October: Perth's RAC Arena on October 2, then Adelaide, Melbourne, Geelong, Brisbane and Sydney, with the final announced show October 16 at Roche Estate in Pokolbin, in the Hunter Valley wine country. Which is objectively a funny place to end a Nickelback tour, and we mean that affectionately.

Don't sleep on Don Broco

The support slot matters here. Don Broco — metal, post-hardcore and electronica smashed together by four Englishmen with zero interest in subtlety — have sold out Wembley Arena and Alexandra Palace and played Download and Reading and Leeds. They're not a polite opener; they're a band that could headline the rooms Nickelback is playing in five years. For the rock-radio crowd showing up early, this is a genuine two-for-one.

Tickets move fast: artist and Verizon presales open Tuesday, October 13, partner presales run October 14-15, and the general onsale is Friday, October 16 at 10 a.m. local time. The Vegas date doesn't have a day announced yet beyond the April window — but T-Mobile shows like this one don't sit around. Set the reminder.
