Nickelback will take their Dark Horse to the U.K. in May for five shows following their North American tour in support of their new album.

Nickelback's "Rockstar," from 2005's All The Right Reasons, is up for the record of the year title in Britain. You can vote for the Vancouver band, or one of the nine other finalists, here.

If you're wondering about the headline of this article, Spotted Dick is a British dessert. It also gives us another excuse to make a gratuitous dick reference and spotlight Chad Kroeger's sexually charged lyrics. Kroeger may choose to enjoy that dish, or a treacle tart, while he's in England.

Here are Nickelback's U.K. tour dates:

May 22 Manchester, UK @ Manchester Evening News Arena
May 23 Glasgow, UK @ Scottish Exhibition And Conference Centre Hall 4
May 25 Newcastle, UK @ Metro Radio Arena
May 26 Birmingham, UK @ The National Indoor Arena
May 28 London, UK @ 02 Arena
