CALGARY – Organizers have announced Canadian rock band Nickelback will headline an August benefit concert to raise money for flood recovery efforts in southern Alberta.
Alberta Flood Aid will be held in Calgary at McMahon Stadium on Thursday, August 15th.
Artists confirmed to be performing include: Jann Arden, Randy Bachman, Tom Cochrane, Matthew Good, Colin James, Loverboy, Corb Lund, Johnny Reid, The Sadies, The Sheepdogs, and Ian Tyson.
The evening will be hosted by Canadian comedian Brent Butt.
