It was a raucous Tuesday night at Grand Rapids' Van Andel Arena.

Nickelback, the Canadian band everyone loves to hate if they don't love the group, along with opening act The Pretty Reckless, led by Taylor Momsen, rocked Grand Rapids.

Nickelback is on the road for its "No Fixed Address" Tour, which is promoting its eight studio album.
Released in November, it includes the hit single What Are You Waiting For?

As for the tour, it just opened last week in Allentown, Pa. Grand Rapids was the seventh stop on the trek, which runs through Aug. 29.

Meanwhile, The Pretty Reckless is playing select dates on the tour with Nickelback. The Pretty Reckless' latest album, Going to Hell, includes the hits Follow Me Down, Messed Up World and Heaven Knows.

All the rockin' and metal in The Van Andel came after 97.9 WGRD's hoppin' Nickelback Pre-Party at The B.O.B.'s Brewery in The B.O.B. Some lucky winners from the bash also got front-row tickets to the concert through WGRD.

It was definitely a monster night in Grand Rapids.
