Toronto, Canada (Release): Nickelback has announced that 'Hate to Love: Nickelback', will premiere on streaming platform Veeps on Friday, April 12, 2024 following a bumper weekend of theater showings across 30 countries. In addition, Nickelback has dropped behind-the-scenes footage of the band on tour and in the studio, available to all viewers globally.

'Hate to Love: Nickelback' offers a feature-length, in-depth look at one of the world's most successful rock groups. This film tells the real story of Nickelback from their humble beginnings in Alberta, Canada, to the explosive global success of 'How You Remind Me' in 2001 and the record-breaking hits that followed. But with that 'Rockstar' fame came an early wave of the online negativity that many other artists have faced since.
