Say what you want about Nickelback, but you can’t deny that they will fill the seats of an arena and give you a solid rock n’ roll show. That’s exactly what happened in 2012 when they came to Hartford’s XL Center with special guests Bush, Seether and My Darkest Days.

Here and Now Tour
Special Guests: Bush, Seether and My Darkest Days

The XL Center – Hartford
About The Tour:
In January 2012 Nickelback announced a big 49 city North American arena tour in support of its seventh studio album, Here and Now. Joining Nickelback on the tour are special guests and fellow rockers Bush, Seether and My Darkest Days. The tour kicked off in Moline, Illinois on April 10th and would make a stop in Hartford on April 27th.
The show at The XL Center opened with My Darkest Days, a band from Canada who were first discovered by Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger. Their lead singer, Matt Walst, would go on to be the new lead singer of Three Days Grace in 2013.
Seether took the stage and played an 8-song set that included their hit songs Fine Again, RiseAbove This and Remedy. They also played a couple new songs, Tonight and Country Song, off their 2011 album, Holding Onto StringsBetterLeftto Fray.
Veteran rockers Bush followed with a heavy dose of 90s hits plus a couple new songs off their 2011 release, The Sea ofMemories. Bush’s high energy show got the XL Center crowd ready for the headliner, Nickelback.
Nickelback didn’t waste time in unleashing a new song off Here and Now as they opened their 90-minute set with their new single, ThisMeans War. What followed was barrage of hits performed on two stages, one of which was a rotating stage in the middle of the XL Center floor. Along with the music, the Nickelback stage show also featured a large video screen, flamethrowers and t-shirt cannons, much to the enjoyment of the thousands in attendance.

Ashley continued to go through her parents’ record collection, and there was some confusion (on AJ’s part) about who the lead singer was in the band, Bread. (56:29)
Chaz and AJ spoke with Governor Lamont about the announcement to cancel schools for the rest of the academic year, when a new school year could start up, and what he sees happening on May 20th. Plus, AJ pitches a graduation plan, and Governor Lamont predicts which phase of the reopening process certain businesses and industries can expect to start opening up again.
Ten years ago Bush reunited after breaking in 2002. The band, led by singer Gavin Rossdale, has since released three studio albums and has another one on the way: TheKingdom, which will be out this summer.
Over the years, Bush has put on some high energy shows. Today we look back at their 2005 show in Port Chester.
Today’s Throwback Concert:
BUSH
Man on the Run Tour
Special Guests: Theory of a Deadman and Stars In Stereo
Wednesday February 25, 2015
The Capitol Theatre – Port Chester, NY
About The Tour: In late 2014 Bush announced a six-week North American tour in support of its sixth studio album, Man on the Run. After a string of December radio festivals, the Man on the Run Tour officially kicked off in San Francisco in late January. Among the stops included The Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford and The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York.
The show at The Capiitol Theatre featured a nice blend of new and old songs. But for most of the evening, Bush gave its fans a night of 90s nostalgia by playing such hits as Everything Zen, Machinehead and Comedown.
