Unleashing a Monster

The Nickelback tour has not as yet confirmed a Belfast date, but for those that decide to make the journey across the North Channel they will see Canuck rockers Monster Truck open proceedings.

Guitarist Jeremy Widerman said: "What a peculiar and exciting experience it is to be simultaneously working on our new record and preparing for another trek across UK/Europe. We couldn't possibly more excited to share the big stage with Nickelback and make our third trip overseas!"
