The tour opens August 7 at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome before heading through Taipei, Latin America, and later Europe in early 2027.
Produced by Live Nation, the new run promises a fresh live production with updated stage design, new performances, and expanded visual storytelling, building on the ambitious world-building that shaped the group’s previous tours.
Fans won’t have to wait long for a preview. aespa are set to headline Lollapalooza on August 2 ahead of the tour launch.

Joining Nickelback as direct support will be Don Broco, the English four-piece known for a boundary-pushing sound that blends elements of metal, post-hardcore and electronica. The band has built a reputation for an electrifying live show, selling out major UK venues including Wembley Arena and Alexandra Palace and performing at festivals including Download and Reading & Leeds.
The two bands have already connected creatively, with Nickelback collaborating with Don Broco on “Nightmare Tripping,” the title track from the band’s latest Fearless Records album. The collaboration grew from a mutual appreciation between the artists, making the Everything Under The Sun Tour the next chapter in that relationship.
The tour follows a remarkable period for Nickelback. The band’s Get Rollin’ World Tour became the fastest-selling and highest-attended tour of their career, while the Netflix documentary Hate to Love: Nickelback became a global sensation, spending weeks in the platform’s Global Top 10 and offering fans an unprecedented look inside the band’s journey.
With nearly 65 million albums sold worldwide, billions of streams across digital platforms and more than 50 million monthly listeners, Nickelback remain one of the most streamed and commercially successful rock bands in the world. Their music continues to connect across generations, while their live shows have cemented their reputation as an arena force with a catalog built for massive rooms and massive moments.
