Alberta Rockers Nickleback have announced a 44-city tour tied to the upcoming album “Feed the Machine.”

They released the first new single on Tuesday — also titled “Feed the Machine” — and plans for an extensive run of summer concerts that stop in seven Canadian cities.

Lucky, Ottawa dodges a bullet, as among the dates are shows in Toronto on June 27, in Montreal on June 29 and a run of concerts in Western Canada throughout late September.

The band says most stops will feature Daughtry, led by “American Idol” finalist Chris Daughtry.

Cheap Trick will substitute on some of the later Canadian dates.

The album “Feed the Machine” is due out June 9.

The band launches their tour on June 23 in Noblesville, Ind., while other Canadian dates include Winnipeg (Sept. 21), Saskatoon (Sept. 23), Calgary (Sept. 26), Edmonton (Sept. 28) and Vancouver (Oct. 1).

Tickets for the tour go on sale for “Nickelback fan club” members *pfft* on Monday while a general sale begins Feb. 11.
