Nickelback returns to the Prudential Center, 16 years after its last North Jersey show

The Everything Under the Sun Tour hits Newark on Saturday, March 6, with Don Broco opening, two days after the album it's named for finally came out.

September 29, 2010. That was the last time Nickelback played North Jersey, and it was in the same building it's coming back to: the Prudential Center in Newark. Sixteen and a half years later, the band has booked a return for Saturday, March 6, 2027, on its newly announced Everything Under the Sun Tour.

The details: the show starts at 6:30 p.m., with British rock band Don Broco as direct support. Tickets run $64.25 to $737.50 through Ticketmaster. The arena holds about 19,500. The tour was announced October 9, and the general on-sale was October 16, so tickets are on sale now.

The tour is named for the record that arrived this past Friday. Everything Under the Sun, Nickelback's 11th studio album, came out October 30 on Virgin Music Group, and the band has been rolling it out for months. It opened with the lead single "Rattle the Cage," featuring guitarist John 5, which arrived with the album announcement and the band's first new music since 2022's *Get Rollin'*. "Leave Me Behind" followed on August 21, and "Make Me Love You" premiered on BBC Radio 2 on September 24. By March, those songs will have had four months to settle into a setlist next to the hits.

The tour itself is a full arena run. The North American leg opens February 6 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh and runs through May 1 in San Antonio, before the band heads to the UK and Europe starting May 22 in Leeds and to Australia in October. Newark was one of the stops called out in the announcement coverage, alongside Chicago's United Center, Boston's TD Garden and Toronto's Scotiabank Arena. Don Broco opens most of the North American dates.

Sixteen and a half years later, the band has booked a return to the same building.

So what's changed since 2010? The big difference this time is the new album. A 16-year gap in one market also means a lot of North Jersey fans who were in high school for that last show are now bringing their own kids.

Practical notes for the Rock: a 6:30 p.m. start on a Saturday means the opener will be on early, so build in time for Newark traffic and the security line. The price range is wide; the low end gets you in the building, the high end is premium packaging.

Nickelback's last North Jersey night was a long time ago. The band picked the same arena to make up for it.
