Tickets for Nickelback's October UK tour on sale now

Tickets for Nickelback's upcoming UK tour go on sale today.

The US band, recently cited by The Black Keys as the reason rock music was in as bad shape as it is, will perform five dates in October 2012.

The band later made a half-hearted attempt to smooth things over with Nickelback in an interview with MTV.

"There's much worse bands than Nickelback. Maybe," said The Black Keys' Patrick Carney. "That was the worst apology."

"I don't like bad music, but look, I've got a lot of friends and not one of them has a Nickelback record," he added. "I'm not a small minority."

Nickelback released their seventh album 'Here and Now' in November last year. Full tour dates are below.
