Canadian rock band Nickelback is set to headline the 2025 edition of Rock the Country across the United States between April and July.


The upcoming travelling festival, with co-headliner Kid Rock, will make stops in 10 small towns across the U.S., beginning in Cullman, Ala., from June 19 to 21 and ending in Anderson, S.C., from July 25 to 26.

Rock the Country will also bring other big artists along for the multi-city festival, including Three Doors Down, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, Hank Williams Jr., Big & Rich and more. Nickelback appears to be the only Canadian band on the docket.

A couple of notes :

- A Canadian band headlining an US patriot concert tour is like Justin Beiber headlining a Motown concert. Hilarious, except only 1 is true.

- Lynyrd Skynyrd's current lineup doesn't have a single original band member left. It is incredible that they are still calling themselves Lynyrd Skynyrd.

- There is serious discussion about whether 3 Doors Down is an objectively worse band than Nickleback.

- Gavin Adcock is what Tom McDonald wishes he could have become if only he hadn't turned his face into a 6th grade desk.

- I had to look up what a Big & Rich are and this was it :



Yikes.

Anyways, best of luck to all these guys and their flag covered grift. It is the golden age and there is no time like the present.

Yeah, how does a Canuck band headline a "Patriot Tour"?

And wouldn't there be tariffs involved?

Oh, wait. I get it. Canada's the 51st State!

How is that even legal.

I think they're way better than nickleback.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Wow. It's like the headlining acts I've never wanted to see all rolled up into one.

Oh, wait. I get it. Canada's the 51st State!

Maybe they just deduct the tariffs from their pay.

This is how Trump reminds us of how ****ed we all are.

The onslaught of crappy Canadian bands will continue until the tariffs stop.

Well, the Golden Era of Dumb needs a soundtrack. You don't get better artists for that than Kid Rock and Nickelback.

Canuckistan is NOT sending their best right now and I totally get it, but also, we have nukes and a long memory.

We will take our vengeance on any Canuckistani groups who side with Trumpian culture.

Give us 3 years and change, you tree hugging bastards.

Didn’t Trump whine about how The Rolling Stones wouldn’t let him use their music and how unAmerican that was for the band?

FU,
Canada

Whoa there pal! Don't you think those are some pretty extreme measures? I know we're currently having a 'down' in the ups and downs of our friendship, but isn't this a little too far?

Brian Adams. On tour. With mandatory attendance for your Patriot points.

Two can play at this game. We'll send NBA Youngboy and Blueface on a joint tour throughout Canada. Don't make me.

That is exactly why everybody hates Nickelback

I think people hated Nickelback before this.

Nickelback is the top one on any shitlist.

Not every band from Canada can be on the level of Rush, I suppose.

Still, even Bob and Doug McKenzie would make a better headline act....

 

[joluoto]

Sweden imports a band from Finland to represent them in ESC,
weird but not unheard of

Meanwhile:
US imports a Canadian band to represent US patriotism.
That's just hillarious.
They should be careful though, a ticket to the US might come with an extra to El Salvador.

 

[TheDoctorWasIn]

I think they're way better than nickleback.

Well, at least there's one thing that you and I can agree on.

 

[joluoto]

That is exactly why everybody hates Nickelback

Everyone has always hated Nickelback.

 

[EnchantedMuggle]

This is how Trump reminds us of how ****ed we all are.

I was trying to come up with something for that exact line. This is perfect, even fits the cadence, but now I'll be singing it this way in my head all night.

 

[EnchantedMuggle]

Everyone has always hated Nickelback.

Even Nickelback's moms hate Nickelback.

Fun fact, for whatever reason I wanted to Google "Why is Nickelback called Nickelback?" and as I was typing "Why is Nickelback" the top predicted search ended with "hated?"

 

[roguenuke]

Everyone has always hated Nickelback.

I didn't. However headlining anything with Kid rock will do.
