NICKELBACK
Nickelback makes a stop and performs at Foxwoods Resort Casino! Canadian rockers who fit pop sensibilities into their sonic onslaught, ensuring plenty of airplay and a rabid fan base, few bands did more than Nickelback to establish the force of slick, commercially minded post-grunge in the 2000s. Led by vocalist Chad Kroeger, the band initially emerged in the late ’90s as Canada’s answer to Creed, prizing a blend of gruff vocals and distorted (yet radio-friendly) guitars. After a handful of singles failed to gain much traction in Canada, “How You Remind Me” caught hold in 2001, eventually topping the charts in several countries while gathering four Grammy nominations and four Juno Awards. Nickelback’s popularity only grew as the decades progressed, with chart-topping albums like The Long Road and All the Right Reasons effectively eclipsing those acts that had once informed their sound. By the time the band released their ninth long-player, 2017’s Feed the Machine, they had sold over 50 million albums worldwide. Following a five-year gap, they returned in 2022 with “San Quentin.”
