"I can’t wait to get back out on the road! I have the most fun when I am performing for the fans. I think that energy comes through in my live show," Avril stated.
Performance at the Whisky
As part of her tour announcement, Avril played a short acoustic set for the press and her adoring fans. Noting that the audience had probably never heard "Girlfriend" acoustically before, Avril and her band sat in chairs onstage and strummed out the high-energy tune.
The band then segued into "Hot", a new single off her latest album, "Best Damn Thing," and ended her performance with a call back to her early days by singing "Sk8r Boi."
Fielding Questions
As far as having three albums worth of songs to choose from while creating her concert set, Avril shared, "It makes it so much easier and way better because I have more singles and of course, when you play the hits on stage that’s the most exciting part of the show sometimes." With a wide range of tunes to choose from, Avril explained, "I have more to work with now. I just get to make the show more diverse."
