Nickelback gets star on Vancouver’s Granville Street

Love them or hate them, Nickelback is one of the most successful and decorated musical acts in the world. On Wednesday, they add another award to their impressive resume.

The Alberta-born, often BC-based quartet will be included in the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame with a StarWalk ceremony on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver at 3:30 p.m

The venue invites media and fans of the band to attend the presentation, where Nickelback’s star will be unveiled on the Granville Street StarWalk.

The band joins more than 300 past inductees who have been recognized for their “significant contribution(s) to the county’s entertainment industry and cultural landscape,” according to a statement from the BCEHOF.

“An artist who has reached the international heights that Nickelback has achieved provides exactly the kind of inspiration that the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame recognizes,” BCEHOF President Bill Allman said in the statement.

“If you’re pursuing professional success in any entertainment discipline, we’ve got your back and we’re here to celebrate.”

For Nickelback, Wednesday’s event marks the band’s second hall-of-fame induction in 2023. They were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the Juno Awards in March and made it official this past weekend by adding their plaque to the Studio Bell at the National Music Center in Calgary.

The band has won 12 Juno awards, been nominated for nine Grammy awards, and has written dozens of chart-toppers, including “How You Remind Me,” which was named Billboard’s best rock song of the decade in the 2000s.

For the hall, Wednesday’s event will be the third and final introduction of 2023. Stars for Loverboy and Rocket Norton were unveiled on June 15 and 22, respectively.
