Just saw it for the 9th official time live in some fashion or another (including the Juno Awards in 2023 in Edmonton where Nickelback got put into the Canadian Hall of Fame & honoured) 8 times in regular concert format but they all performed at Junos when I was there so 9 times legit I've seen my fave band of all time! So cool!

I've been lucky to see my most fave band period 3 times ( gonna be 4 as of 2015)
These Canadian Rockers are a great Band and there ever more amazing Live. If you aren't sold on Nickelback then go see them live and then you'll become a fan!
I've seen then in
2007 with Daughtry, State of shock
2010 with Sick Puppies, Breaking Benjamin & Shinedown

Nickelback is my #1 Band ever and no one comes close

2 Shinedown Shinedown is an American hard rock band from Jacksonville, Florida, formed in 2001 and founded by members Brent Smith, Brad Stewart, Jasin Todd, and Barry Kerch.

3 Carrie Underwood Carrie Marie Underwood is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, in 2005. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005.

More like 2 and a half times since the first time I saw her I had to leave the Concert early due to the concert being on the same night as my Dad's Family Christmas

But anyway Carrie is unbelievable her voice is one of the most powerful and beautiful voices I've ever heard.
She also has a great connection with her fans on and when I saw her for the second time but full show this time she even changed the lyrics in her Song All American Girl and put some Canadian references in it!
Saw her in
2011
2013 with Hunter Hayes

I Love Carrie Underwood a lot

So I've technically saw twice (had to leave the first one a bit early due to get to a Christmas thing with the extended family so I had to go to or something so I missed the last half of the concert)

Wow! Curti2594 if ever I have a choice to go to one of the mentioned artist, it would be this one. You've sold it to me.
Great list!

5 U2 U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns.

In 2011 with The Fray the Legends of U2 Came to Edmonton's Football Stadium with there U2 360 Tour with that incredible Stage that looked like a Claw!

I've gotta say seeing them Live was something liek a treat. Though there quite Bold and Controversial there one Heck of a Group and there one of my all time fave Bands!
U2 is one of those bands I'd have no problem being able to see them only once in my lifetime because I don't want a second opinion on them.

Though if they ever did Tour back the only way I'd see them agin is if I could get better seats

6 Rush Rush was a Canadian progressive rock band that was formed in 1968. The band has had an iconic lineup since 1975, which included Neil Peart (Drums, Percussion), Geddy Lee (Vocals, Bass, Keyboards), and the guitarist, Alex Lifeson. Peart passed away after a 3 year battle with brain cancer in January of 2020. Because of this, Lee says there are no plans to keep the band going, so Rush is most likely defunct.

More than half of their albums have gone gold or platinum, as certified by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America).

In the summer of 2010 with Kid Rock me and my Bon Jovi obsessed Mom went to see Bon Jovi Live in Edmontons Football Stadium. I love Bon Jovi quite a bit myself but nowhere near as obsessed as my mother I had to hold her back from running up to the stage an doing something crazy and the fact that she was on the floor liek 12 rows away from Richie was part of the reason!

Anyway Bon Jovi there very great Live. I'd see them again in a heartbeat!
