Recent tour reviews

The show was good but very short. Not a lot of songs from her new album. Was disappointing to say the least - especially for a hometown show. We would have loved to hear more complete versions from her new album.

Report as inappropriate

Hi I really enjoyed the show, despite being somewhat short. I bought a red rose for her and when she was singing in front of our section, I noticed she smiled. I resent not taking a picture. I have been a fan of hers since 2002.

This was my first time seeing Avril Lavigne. She did a lot of old songs and messed up the ending of Happy Endings. She did a few new songs. Overall I had fun.

Hey hey! You you! Wanna see a concert?

Well, good news! Avril Lavigne has just announced her Greatest Hits Tour in North America. Over twenty years after her first album Let Go broke Canadian sales records, she’ll be crossing the US and her home country to play some of her biggest songs. The tour will kick off with several dates in late June and early July before taking a break so she can rock some festivals in Europe and the UK. Then she’ll be back to the US and Canada in August and September.

Avril’s career has thrived on putting the “pop” in pop-punk, with seven studio albums and, with the addition of Greatest Hits, eight headlining tours. Her Love Sux Tour, to promote her 2022 album of the same name, will actually be wrapping in the middle of the Greatest Hits Tour, hence the European dates. Let no one say this woman does not keep busy.

Support for the tour will include Simple Plan, Royal & The Serpent and Girlfriends on select dates.

Whether you’re in it for the whole discography or just wanna sing-cry to “Complicated” or scream along to “Girlfriend,” you’re pretty much guaranteed to get what you want at this show. Presales will start January 24 at 10 AM local time and general on sale begins January 26 at 10 AM local time. More info is available via her official website . You can also check out special VIP packages and a chance to hang in the SKATER BOI Hospitality Lounge.

Avril Lavigne: ‘I moved out of my parents’ house and straight into a tour bus with no rules’

When she was only 17, the Canadian singer’s debut album wowed the world. Now, as Let Go hits its 20th anniversary, its pop-punk anthems are finding new life thanks to TikTok

F or a generation of girls who spent years exclusively wearing butterfly clips, bright blue eyeshadow and pale pink everything, the release of the “pop-punk princess” Avril Lavigne’s debut album, Let Go, on 4 June 2002 was not merely a new sound, it was enlightenment.

In an era when bubblegum pop and “sexy baby” personas reigned, the 17-year-old Lavigne emerged as its antithesis. Rarely seen without a baggy pair of jeans, heavy kohl eyeliner and a loose tie round her neck, she co-wrote her own songs, with lyrics about skateboarding and getting fired from a chicken shop. Her first two singles, Complicated and Sk8er Boi, both spent half of the year on the Billboard Hot 100 and Let Go remains one of the 20 bestselling albums of the 21st century.

Lavigne’s snarky attitude, grungy look and alternative-inspired sound was a potent combination that elevated Let Go above the rest of the pop pack. Almost overnight, girls all over the world began to swap choker necklaces for men’s neckwear, body glitter for leather bracelets, and denim for cargo pants. Her videos, featuring Lavigne trashing malls and skating with groups of boys, were watched obsessively. Let Go unleashed an army of seven to 15-year-olds brimming with ennui, desperate to remake themselves in Lavigne’s image.

“I was getting out of high school and I just wanted to rock out,” says Lavigne today, speaking from her home in Malibu ahead of the album’s 20th anniversary. “I want loud guitars, I want live drums … I want to write about the crazy stuff, the insane emotions, the good and the bad.”

All of this, Lavigne says, was a genuine reflection of her teenage experience. Born in Ontario, Canada, in 1984, she spent most of her childhood in Napanee, a small town with a population of roughly 5,000, where she wrote poems, learned to play guitar and hung around with the grungy kids. She initially made a name in the country music world, an influence that can be heard in some of the twangy cadences and narrative storytelling on Let Go. She even performed on stage with Shania Twain after winning a radio contest in her early teens, before signing to Arista Records and moving to California at 16.

Even at the time, Lavigne felt acutely aware of her innocence within the music industry. “I didn’t even know what Hollywood was or what record deals were,” she says. The process of finding co-writers and producers who matched her artistic style involved an endless string of uncomfortable meetings in corporate boardrooms; her age coupled with her lack of understanding of the mechanics of production led to a struggle to get her sound across. “They didn’t care what I had to say; they had their own style and didn’t bother to look at me and try to let me lead,” she says.

However, Lavigne’s instincts were strong: “I was very clear on what I wanted to do and what I didn’t want to do. I wanted to be angsty and to sound more like a band; I didn’t want to be all bubblegum pop. I wanted to turn my emotions into lyrics. I was honestly just very, very pure.”

She eventually settled on a music writing and production trio known as the Matrix, consisting of Lauren Christy, Graham Edwards and Scott Spock. The moment things began to click for the group was when they wrote their first track together, the song that become Lavigne’s breakout hit, Complicated. “I didn’t know what hits were, but my body and my intuition knew that this was a hit song,” she says. “I was like: ‘This is fucking cool, this sounds cool to me.’”

Over the next year, Lavigne and the Matrix would meet in studios and hotel rooms across southern California to build the 13-track album. The themes were heavily influenced by Lavigne’s life, which at the time, she says, mostly involved wearing “fat skate shoes” and finding skateboarders hot. But while many of her songs were fun and frivolous, such as Sk8er Boi, or light and melodic, like Mobile and Anything But Ordinary, darker emotions cut through elsewhere on Losing Grip and the album’s only ballad, I’m With You, which Lavigne says is still a highlight of her live performances.

The combination of these different themes and attitudes made for an album that could be played repeatedly without becoming repetitive. “I wrote this album right when I got out of high school and now I get to hear these lyrics of me talking about my small town and my obsession with skater boys,” she says. “Even things like in My World, I literally talk about the fact that I got fired by a ‘fried chicken ass’ I worked for at a fried chicken chain. It’s hilarious. I look back at those lyrics, and I’m like: ‘I can’t believe I said that in a song.’”

The naivety and simplicity of her lyrics turned out to be a key to her success. Targeting a young audience, Let Go propelled Lavigne beyond two-hit wonder status. But even with the success of the album, she couldn’t quite grasp quite how big it had become. “I remember my manager being like: ‘Do you realise you’re No 1? And still No 1 this week and No 1 this week and then this week?’”

Lavigne’s self-assurance obscured just how young she was when she rose to fame – and that she did so during a time when young celebrities were facing extreme sexualisation and horrifying invasions of privacy. However, Lavigne stood apart from other female pop stars at the time through her “tomboy” look and active criticism of her contemporaries. (In one interview, she mocked Britney Spears for “dressing like a showgirl”.)

Looking back at her treatment in the early 00s, does she wish it had been different? Unusually, Lavigne feels gratitude for being a teenager when Let Go debuted. “I remember being at home and being 14 and thinking like: ‘I need to hurry up and get this music thing going!’” She laughs: “I was like: ‘I want to be doing this while I’m YOUNG!’

“I moved out of my parents’ house and directly into a tour bus, not having any rules,” she adds. “I was like: ‘I can drink beer now and eat pizza every day’ and I just got to hang out with my band and travel the world. It was crazy, but it was pretty special.”

Let Go’s 20th anniversary comes alongside a reappraisal of Y2K culture by a generation too young to remember it. Several of its tracks have gone viral on TikTok, and Lavigne has been cited as an influence by gen Z artists such as Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo (who brought Lavigne on stage at a recent gig for a duet of Complicated). Concurrently, there has also been a rise in emo nostalgia among older music fans. Lavigne is playing a festival in the autumn, Las Vegas’s When We Were Young, that went viral earlier this year for featuring so many popular emo and pop-punk artists of the 00s, including My Chemical Romance, Jimmy Eat World and Paramore.

Lavigne finds the whole experience surreal. “That younger generations are discovering my stuff and that Billie, Olivia, and Willow [Smith] go out into the world and continue to shatter the mould like I did 20 years ago is super-inspiring.” She says even the musicians she is friends with and collaborates with are longtime fans. “All these people around me are like: ‘Oh my God, I’m a huge fan, I listened to you growing up, you inspired me!’ It’s really trippy.”

Her future plans include working with two other superstars: Blink-182’s Travis Barker, whose label, DTA Records, put out Lavigne’s recent album, Love Sux, and Machine Gun Kelly, who features on the album and with whom Lavigne will be going on tour. Major items on her bucket list include a Christmas album, a makeup line and a cookbook. (“My food is, like, gourmet,” she says, “I can do everything! Pasta, sauce, vegan, salads and soups – I can do every kind of soup.”) She has also recently found a director to lead a film adaptation of Sk8er Boi. “I can’t wait to learn this process of making a movie,” she says. “I think I’ll want to make more.”

Twenty years on, Lavigne believes the appeal of Let Go has endured because once people connect to her music “they stay connected”.

“I’ve always had this thing where I’m like: just be as sincere as possible,” she says. “The songs are real and they’re emotional. That works for me.”

Let Go will be rereleased this summer.

Avril Lavigne annonce un « Greatest Hits » Tour (avec Simple Plan)

All Time Low sera aussi de la partie.

Une tournée des plus grands hits d’Avril Lavigne ? On signe de suite ! Et justement, la chanteuse canadienne vient d’annoncer une série de concerts centrée sur ses morceaux les plus cultes. Petit bonus, elle prendra la route avec Simple Plan et All Time Low.

Au programme, près de 27 dates annoncées sur l’été – dans le nord des Etats-Unis. Peut-on espérer une venue en France ? Pour l’heure, il faudra faire preuve de patience ! Côté titres, le communiqué de presse annonce des morceaux aussi cultes qu’intemporels dans la setlist : ‘Complicated,’ ‘Sk8er Boi’ ou encore ‘Girlfriend’ sont ainsi attendus.

« Je ferai les plus grands succès de tous mes albums, ainsi que certains de vos préférés, peut-être des demandes spéciales ? Et bien sûr, tous mes amis se joindront à moi !!! » , annonce t-elle sur Instagram. Evoquant Simple Plan, elle ajoute «  Ils ont participé à ma toute première tournée, alors c’est normal qu’on la refasse » ! Sans oublier de mentionner All Time Low :  » Nous sommes amis depuis un moment maintenant et nous parlons d’essayer de tourner ensemble depuis des années, donc nous sommes heureux de pouvoir enfin le faire pour de vrai ! »

«  On va s’amuser comme des fous à célébrer ma carrière avec mes amis et mes fans. Qui vient ???? Quelles sont les chansons que vous voulez entendre ? » – Evidemment, à moins de faire escale aux Etats-Unis, il sera difficile d’assister à ce show…! A moins d’une annonce en Europe ?

Avril Lavigne Will Perform All Her Greatest Hits On A 2024 Tour

Grab your sk8boards.

Let’s rage on. In the last year, early-aughts rockers such as Paramore , My Chemical Romance, and Fall Out Boy escaped from their cocoons to bring forth the emo renaissance. While certain acts didn’t prosper long enough to witness this pop-punk revival, there are plenty of artists reintroducing their discography to the mainstream. The latest star? Avril Lavigne. After re-embracing her emo-rock origins in recent years, the singer is onto the next “ best damn thing” — she’s heading back on the road.

On Jan. 22, Lavigne surprisingly announced her Greatest Hits tour on Instagram. This excursion will see her performing staples from all seven of her studio albums, and she won’t be alone in honoring her career. Other notable bands such as Simple Plan, All Time Low, Royal & The Serpent, and Girlfriends will also appear on tour. Clearly, the emo scene will outlive us all.

“This is gonna be too much stupid fun celebrating my career with my friends and fans. Who’s coming? What songs do you want to hear?” she wrote on the post, which features throwback photos of her with the multiple openers.

This exciting announcement comes nearly two years after Lavigne celebrated the 20th anniversary of her debut album, Let Go . The album has several well-aged hits, including “Complicated,” “Sk8er Boi,” “I’m With You,” and the underrated “Losing Grip.” She also included an angsty rendition of Kelly Clarkson’s 2004 single, “Breakaway,” on the re-release, proving her vault tracks are just as iconic as her well-known ones.

Here’s everything to know about Lavigne’s Greatest Hits tour, below.
