Lavigne was 17 when Complicated, the first single from her 2002 debut album, Let Go, hit the top of the charts in several countries. Now 39, she returned to her pop-punk roots with her 2022 album, Love Sux, her first studio recording in three years. She was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame last year.
In announcing the upcoming tour on X, formerly known as Twitter, Lavigne said she will be playing the hits from all seven of her albums and is open to requests from fans.
“This is gonna be too much stupid fun celebrating my career with my friends and fans,” she wrote. ”Who’s coming???? What songs do you want to hear???”
