New York City, March 24th: Multi-platinum rock artists Nickelback and 3 Doors Down will join forces this summer when the two mega bands kick off a national co-headline tour beginning at the end of June and running through the end of July 2004. This will be one of the biggest tours of the summer with both bands playing full sets produced with their trademark sound and performances that include laser lights, pyrotechnics and video special effects.

According to 3 Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold, the two bands got together because there was some good history there. "We had played some shows with Nickelback when we toured in support of our first album, The Better Life", says Arnold and thought it would be cool to go out with them again. "I can't wait to get back on the road with the 3 Doors boys" says Chad Kroeger, Nickelback's lead singer. Kroeger adds, "They are like family to us and we have had some amazing times together. We are looking forward to some more great times ahead." The trek will be Nickelback's first US tour of 2004.

Both bands released albums that entered the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. 3 Doors Down's sophomore effort, the triple platinum Away From The Sun (Universal/Republic) entered at #8 and has been on the Billboard Top 200 Chart for over 65 weeks. Nickelback's double platinum third album The Long Road (Roadrunner Records) entered the Top 200 at # 6 and has been in the Top 35 of the Billboard Top 200 since its release 25 weeks ago.
Both bands have scored their 5th and 6th consecutive #1 singles with the first two tracks released from their current albums. 3 Doors Down with "When I'm Gone" (the most played song of 2003 according to Neilsen) and "Here Without You" which is still on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart- this week at #27. The band's new third single "Away From The Sun"- is climbing Billboard Hot AC and various rock format charts. Nickelback's two hit singles continue to chart- the first single, "Someday," is currently a Top 10 track at Pop and Hot AC formats and the second "Figured You Out," is currently a Top 5 track at Active, Modern and Mainstream Rock formats. The band's third single, "Feelin Way Too Damn Good," is set to go to radio in May 2004.
Opening acts have yet to be announced. Tour dates and ticket information will be announced next week.

Cool, huh?
