Nickelback rocks Boots and Hearts stage

Canadian rockers a hit as tens of thousands of people jam into Burl's Creek in Oro-Medonte for this year's popular festival

Tens of thousands of people jammed into Burl's Creek Event Grounds in Oro-Medonte Friday night to see Nickelback.

The iconic Canadian band was a huge hit on the second night of the annual country music festival.

The weather was idyllic as fans waved their cellphones in the night air as Chad Kroeger belted out the signature songs that have become Nickelback's trademark.

Big Wreck, Hardy and JJ Wilde were among the other acts that entertained the fans Friday night.

The four-day festival continues today. Tonight's headliner is Keith Urban, whose last performance in Oro-Medonte was in the midst of a vicious storm. There is rain, again, in today's forecast.

Tim McGraw will close out this year's Boots and Hearts Festival Sunday night.
