Music Fan Crowd Sources Campaign To Stop Nickelback Touring

British music fan Craig Mandall has launched a crowd sourcing campaign intended to raise money to help him prevent Canadian rockers Nickelback from performing in London.

The campaign, created through Tilt, offers a variety of rewards for people wishing to donate towards the target amount of $1,000 (only $61 has been raised so far).

For $1 Mandall offers, "An email written on your behalf, to the management of Nickelback, kindly requesting they do not play in London, England for the forseeable future. You also get the added bonus of not seeing Nickelback."

The $10 reward offers a similar email but "full of explicit phrases and lots of capital letters and maybe even a rude emoticon or two."

Mandall says the campaign is not for personal profit and that all money will be donated to charity — however no charity has been nominated as yet.

This is not the first social media campaign taking aim at Nickelback. Back in 2012 Triple M took to Facebook, promising that if they got 1,000 likes they'd not add a new release by the band to their playlist.
