===2020-present: Recent activities, ''Get Rollin'''=== In August 2020, Nickelback released a cover of "[[The Devil Went Down to Georgia]]" featuring guitarist [[Dave Martone]].<ref>{{cite web |title=“The Devil Went Down to Georgia” we had sitting around as an idea for a while that didn’t get fully finished and was just waiting in the wings. When we decided to go for it, before we moved forward with it, we reached out to Charlie Daniels himself to send him the rough idea to hear it and get his approval. And he actually did approve of it. He heard it and said he liked it. He was alive when we did it, and he passed [in 2020] before we released it, so he didn’t get to hear the final version of it, unfortunately. |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/nickelback-interview-get-rollin-chad-kroeger-mike-1235170608/ |website=Bilboard |publisher=Bryan Reesman |access-date=17 May 2025}}</ref> The track was released digitally and received attention for its aggressive guitar work and modernized arrangement of the classic [[Charlie Daniels]] song with Kroeger's bass playing remaining foundational to the reworked track’s rhythm section.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nickelback Cover ‘The Devil Went Down to Georgia’ |url=https://loudwire.com/nickelback-devil-went-down-to-georgia-cover/ |website=Loudwire |access-date=May 15, 2025}}</ref> From 2020-2022 Kroeger and the band continued working on new material which led to their November 2022 tenth studio album titled, ''[[Get Rollin]]'', which spawned the singles "[[San Quentin (song)|San Quentin]]" and "Those Days."<ref>{{cite web |title=Nickelback’s ‘Get Rollin’ Makes Global Chart Impact |url=https://www.bmg.com/news/Nickelbacks-10th-studio-album-Get-Rollin-makes-global-chart-debut/ |website=BMG |access-date=May 15, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=NICKELBACK's MIKE KROEGER: 'We Don't Have To Do Anything We Don't Wanna Do' |url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/nickelbacks-mike-kroeger-we-dont-have-to-do-anything-we-dont-wanna-do |website=BLABBERMOUTH |publisher=BLABBERMOUTH Staff |access-date=13 November 2022}}</ref> A few days before the official release date for Get Rollin', it was announced [[Nickelback]] woud be inducted into the [[Canadian Music Hall of Fame]] at the next ceremony on March 16, 2023.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nickelback to be inducted into Canadian Music Hall of Fame |url=https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/nickelback-to-be-inducted-into-music-hall-of-fame-in-canada-chad-kroeger-mike-ryan-peake-daniel-adair-rock-radio-billboard?photo=1 |website=ABC News |publisher=ZACHARY ROGERS |access-date=15 November 2022}}</ref> Along with the rest of his [[Nickelback]] bandmates, Kroeger embarked on the band's 2023 ''Get Rollin’ Tour World Tour'', covering [[North America]] and select dates in [[Europe]] where Kroeger participated in numerous interviews discussing his band’s longevity, their approach to taking a five-year gap between albums—the longest stretch between studio releases in the band’s history.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nickelback's Mike Kroegers' Interview With 'Punk Rock Theroy' - Talks About 5 Year Gap Between Albums, And The Future Of The Band |url=https://www.punkrocktheory.com/interviews/nickelbacks-mike-kroeger-if-people-dont-react-youre-finished-right-there |website=Punk Rock Theory |publisher=Thomas |access-date=16 May 2025}}</ref> The band premiered their [[documentary film]] on September 8, 2023 titled ''[[Hate to Love: Nickelback]]'' at the [[Toronto International Film Festival]].
