Nickelback heading to Moncton this summer

Canadian rockers Nickelback announced on Monday they will perform on July 7 at the Magnetic Hill concert grounds along with I Mother Earth.

The Moncton concert is the band's first show in the Maritimes in nearly five years and the second major Magnetic Hill concert announcement in the last few weeks.

Two weeks ago, Bruce Springsteen announced the third show in his Wrecking Ball World Tour would take place at New Brunswicks popular concert venue.

Nickelback tickets will go on sale on April 28 at 10 a.m.

Ticket prices range from $69.50 to $119.50.

Last July, the city hosted U2 360 tour that drew and estimated 75,000 fans to the outdoor concert venue.

The mega concerts started in 2005, when the Rolling Stones performed.

Since that concert, Moncton has welcomed international superstars, such as Bon Jovi, AC/DC and the Eagles, at the site.
