New Feature Length Nickleback Documentary To Get Cinema Release

A new documentary about Nickleback is to arrive on cinema screens in March.

This feature-length documentary will play in 1,350 cinemas across 30 countries on two nights on March 27, and March 30.

Directed by Leigh Brooks Hate To Love: Nickleback, has been described as telling “the authentic story about the band from their humble beginnings in Hanna Alberta, to their explosive global success in 2001 and the highs and lows that followed”. 

Tickets for this documentary which also premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, will go up for sale at 3pm next week (February 22), via this link.

Nickleback Are “so excited”

Reacting to the news, Nickleback released this statement.

“We are very excited to finally bring this film to theatres this Spring. It’s been a long road to get this project across the finish line and we must thank Ben Jones and Leigh Brooks for all of their hard work. We hope everyone enjoys our story, fans, friends or otherwise”, the band said.

According to the synopsis the film also “celebrates the loyalty of Nickelback fans and delves into the years of online vitriol while exposing the personal impact it had on each of the band members. The film also unveils the rock group’s decision to return after a 5-year break with a new record and a hugely successful sold-out tour, finding themselves riding a sudden wave of online love that has introduced their music to an army of new fans and audiences worldwide”. 

Speaking last September, Nickleback frontman Chad Kroeger said that he hoped this documentary would put an end to the much publicised backlash that his band have faced, despite their undoubted success.
