Nickelback has announced its next studio album, Everything Under The Sun, scheduled for release on October 30, 2026, through Virgin Music Group. At the same time, the Canadian rock veterans have released the album’s first single, “Rattle The Cage”, which features guitarist John 5.
The new record is Nickelback‘s first full-length studio release since Get Rollin’ arrived in 2022. The band enters this album cycle following a strong run that included the success of the documentary Hate To Love: Nickelback and the Get Rollin’ world tour, which became the fastest-selling and best-attended tour of the group’s career.
According to the band, Everything Under The Sun reflects the different sides of Nickelback‘s songwriting. The album combines hard-hitting rock tracks with more melodic and reflective material while maintaining the guitar-driven sound that has remained a constant throughout the band’s career.
Leading the release is “Rattle The Cage”, a high-energy track built around heavy riffs, driving hooks, and a fast pace. Featuring John 5, the song aims to capture the atmosphere that has become a trademark of Nickelback‘s live performances.
Frontman Chad Kroeger said: “This album has every side of the band on it. There are songs that hit as hard as anything we’ve ever done, songs that take chances, and songs that remind us why we’ve been doing this together for so long. “Rattle The Cage” felt like the perfect way to kick the door open — it has the energy we’ve been feeding off every night on stage, and we can’t wait for people to hear it.”
From its beginnings in Hanna, Alberta, Nickelback has become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the past 25 years. The band’s breakthrough came with Silver Side Up, powered by the hit song “How You Remind Me”, and it has since built a catalog that earned Grammy Award nominations along with American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, JUNO Awards, and worldwide recognition.
Over the course of its career, Nickelback has sold nearly 60 million albums, accumulated billions of streams across digital platforms, and continues to attract more than 50 million monthly listeners. Its music continues to connect with longtime fans while reaching new audiences through streaming services.
The band’s momentum continued in recent years as the Netflix documentary Hate To Love: Nickelback reached the platform’s Global Top 10 for multiple weeks, giving viewers a closer look at the band’s history. At the same time, the Get Rollin’ world tour drew record crowds and reinforced Nickelback‘s standing as a major live act.
The upcoming album also marks Nickelback‘s first release through Virgin Music Group. Jacqueline Saturn, president of Virgin Music Group North America, said: “Nickelback has built one of the most remarkable careers in music, and it’s a huge honor for everyone at Virgin Music Group to work alongside a band with such an enduring legacy and global impact. We’re thrilled to partner with them as they begin this exciting new chapter and can’t wait for fans to experience ‘Everything Under The Sun’.”
Now more than three decades into its career, Nickelback continues to expand its catalog while holding on to the sound that established the band as one of modern rock’s biggest names. With Everything Under The Sun, the group opens another chapter with new music and a fresh partnership behind it.
