Weekly What To Do: WonderCon Weekend With Some Easter


 
Marc 27 & 30

Hate to Love: Nickelback documents the real story of Nickelback from their humble beginnings in Alberta, to the explosive global success of 'How You Remind Me' in 2001 and the record-breaking hits that followed and continue to this day. With the 'Rockstar' fame came an early wave of the online negativity. In a refreshingly open, honest, and revealing account, the band discuss the conception of Nickelback and their incredible rise to the top in the 2000's. They reveal the personal impact of the online vitriol and the appreciation for the loyalty of their fans.
