Los Angeles, CA – Multi-platinum rock powerhouse Nickelback have announced dates for their North American summer tour, in support of their latest album, Dark Horse, on the heels of their opening night sellout of Nashville’s Sommet Center last week. The summer leg of the 2009 tour rolls through Live Nation outdoor amphitheaters beginning July 10 in Darien Lake, NY at the Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, with Hinder, Papa Roach and Saving Abel in support.
Nickelback is currently on a 32 city tour, selling out arenas across the country. The Nashville Scene said of the kickoff show on February 25th, “…nobody puts on a better show than Nickelback does. You can believe that.”
