Rock icons Nickelback will kick off their huge Feed the Machine tour next year with the band hitting arenas in cities across the UK, including Birmingham, with their biggest and boldest production yet.

Seether will be performing as very special guests across all shows on the tour - following their own massive sold out headline UK tour earlier this year.

Nickelback has recently wrapped up a colossal 45-city tour of North America, playing to more than 600,000 fans.

The Feed The Machine Tour marks the band's triumphant return to Europe following their ninth studio album (of the same name), which is arguably the band's most refined and energised work since their breakthrough hit Silver Side Up.

Said Nickelback's Chad Kroeger: "We can't wait to get back and play for all the amazing people of Europe! The shows are always some of our most memorable and the energy that our European friends bring every night is positively infectious. This is, by far and away, our biggest and best production to date; and we’re ready for one hell of a party."
