    Juggernaut rock band Nickelback is touring summer 2023 with stop in Dallas

    Nickelback

    A Nickelback for your thoughts.

    Nickelback Facebook

    Nickelback is back: Canadian-born rock juggernaut Nickelback is going on tour in summer 2023 to support their new album, Get Rollin'.

    Called the "Get Rollin’ Tour," it'll hit 38 cities, launching on Monday, June 12 in Quebec City, QC at Videotron Centre, with special guests country rocker Brantley Gilbert and rising country artist Josh Ross.

    It'll make two stops in Texas:

    • Saturday, July 22: Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas
    • Sunday, July 23: Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Woodlands

    So sorry, Austin and San Antonio! Sounds like a road trip is on the offing. Comfort yourself with the band’s announcement video here.

    Tickets go on sale on Friday, January 27 at 10 am at livenation.com. Fans can also purchase VIP Packages, which may include premium tickets, invitation to the pre-show High Times VIP Lounge, specially designed Nickelback gift item, early entry into the venue & more. For more information, visit vipnation.com.

    Nickelback's accomplishments are lengthy. The four-piece, comprised of Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, Ryan Peake, and Daniel Adair, was named the most successful rock band of the decade by Billboard in 2009, globally celebrated for mega-hits such as “How You Remind Me,” “Photograph,” “Far Away,” and “Rockstar” which all held top spots on the Billboard 100.

    "How You Remind Me" was named Billboard’s ‘Top Rock Song of the Decade," and was the #1 most played song on U.S. radio (any format) in the 2000s, according to Nielsen Soundscan, with over 1.2 million spins.

    Get Rollin' was released on November 18, 2022, and is their first album in five years. A press release calls it "a thrilling soundscape of adventure, nostalgia, and emotional exploration."

    It debuted at #2 across the Current Rock, Alternative, Hard Music, and Digital Album charts; landed on the ARIA Album Chart at No. 3; and in the Top 10 in the UK, Canada, Germany, Australia and Austria. And in a career first for the band, it debuted at No. 1 in Switzerland. Switzerland!

    Wait, there's more Nickelback accolades: They’ve received nine Grammy nominations, three American Music Awards, a World Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, 12 JUNO Awards, seven MuchMusic Video Awards, and have been inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame (2007).

    Furthering their legacy yet further, Nickelback is set to be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the JUNO Awards on March 13, 2023.

    The CultureMap City Rink is one of many continuing holiday events taking place during Christmas weekend and beyond.

    When Christmas bumps up against a weekend, as it does this year, it's usually just the ongoing holiday events that are featured. But there will be more than a few new events sprinkled in this year, leaving you with plenty of choices in holiday-themed happenings, theater, comedy, music, and more.

    Below are the best ways to spend your free time this Christmas weekend. If you want more options, check out the calendar for an even longer list of the city's best events. For a big list of the best Christmas lights, go here.

    Continuing holiday events

The production runs through January 4 at Addison Performing Arts Centre.

    Dallas Theater Center presents A Christmas Carol

Audiences will embark on a magical Christmas Eve adventure with Ebenezer Scrooge as three otherworldly spirits whisk him away on a breathtaking journey of hope and redemption. From the nostalgic warmth of Christmases past to the stark truths of the present and the ominous shadows of the future, Scrooge’s journey is a spectacle of wonder. There will be showings through December 27 at Wyly Theatre.

    Broadway at the Center presents Mrs. Doubtfire
