Nickelback has assembled a list of 2009 North American tour dates to support their new album, "Dark Horse." The tour kicks off February 25 in Nashville and presales start this week (see dates below).
The general public will have access to tickets on Saturday, but there will generally be two presale options - through fan club presales (They are charging $24.99) and Citi presales. A Citi-sponsored television commercial has already begun airing to promote the tour. In addition Citi is offering the chance to do a 3-city tour with band. We are starting to see how Live Nation plans to leverage its relationships to turn luke-warm events into hot ones.
The tour is comprised of 30 dates and will hit primarily east coast and Canadian venues. This is Nickelback's first tour after signing a 360 deal with Live Nation, so more dates will likely be added later. The current list of arena dates runs through April.
"Dark Horse" in Nickelback's sixth studio album. It debuted at number 2 on The Billboard 200 chart this week. "Gotta Be Somebody," the lead single off the album, is streaming at Nickelback's MySpace page.
