(Calgary, AB — June 16, 2023) National Music Centre (NMC) and The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) are pleased to announce a live conversation with 2023 Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductees Nickelback. Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake, and Daniel Adair will be present for the event happening on Sunday, June 25 at Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre. Tickets are on sale now at studiobell.ca/whats-on.

Earlier this year, in celebration of the band’s induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, National Music Centre launched a new exhibition dedicated to the globally renowned, best-selling rock group in Canada’s history. Now the band will visit Studio Bell in Calgary to see the exhibition and share personal insights about their historic career to date with fans.

Featuring memorabilia, instruments, and photographs, the exhibition offers fans a retrospective look at many of Nickelback’s career highlights throughout their 20+ years in the music business, including more than 10 billion collective streams to date, 50 million albums sold, and legions of adoring fans from around the globe. The exhibition runs until February 2024, though attendees of the live event will also get access to the exhibition after the show.

The band recently kicked off the North American leg of the Get Rollin’ Tour in support of their tenth studio album, Get Rollin’ released in November 2022 via BMG. Tickets and live tour dates can be found at nickelback.com.

“Since launching the new exhibition, we’ve had Nickelback fans from Japan, the U.K., U.S., and all over Canada visit the display, which is a testament to the band’s incredible global reach,” said Andrew Mosker, President and CEO, NMC. “National Music Centre is absolutely thrilled to have the band take time out from touring for this intimate event at Studio Bell before they play the Saddledome later that night.”
