Sunday night saw NICKELBACK rock the Closing Ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. The band literally lit up the stadium with their electric performance of “Burn It To the Ground”, which was viewed by 60,000 in the stadium itself and a global audience that reached into the multi-millions.

Of their performance, the band said, “Having the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver has been a great honour for our city and our country. To be included in the Closing Ceremony, with so many talented artists and athletes, is something we will never forget”.

Check the player below to see the footage of the track being performed. Pretty darn fitting for a Friday night if you ask us….

‘Burn it To The Ground’ is taken from the band’s current album DARK HORSE which is in stores now (pick it up online HERE).
