i wouldn't say this. she's been catching strays from her own fans on the internet recently for how uninterested she's been acting on her current tour. she recycled an old setlist and hasn't been putting a lot of energy into it. it's very surprising to me that she actually put a good show on a festival.

I've been to a recent concert and it was awesome. Avril fans are just annoying as always expecting her to change the setlist when it's been the same for 12 years now and she simply doesn't want to change it since she much prefers to sing the songs ppl know and the crowd doesn't go dead at

Even that, her shows are sold out worldwide. She did UK last year with lackluster performances and still, she sold out those dates this year instantly. It just too many casual fans want to see her. Iconic.

Honestly yes! Shes smart. The crowd always has a great time. I was at a Paramore concert recently and they did a lot of random album songs and fan service. It went down like a lead balloon and casual concert goers gathered at the back of the venue at the bar.

Shes iconic and people want to hear her hits. She has too many classics I fear. She was at her peak for 5-6 years but in that time released classic after classic after classic. Now 25 years later, the nostalgia is too much: people HAVE to see her when she comes. Shes a LEGEND. Simple as!

yeah, i can't really give a proper opinion bc i don't keep up with her that often. but i have seen a lot of complains from her fans on social media, for some reason. i thought she was going through a bad phase, so to me it is kinda surprising to see her getting acclaim from a live show.

Why doesnt Glastonbury give Avril and Sugababes bigger stages 

[Doctor Dick]

Avril was such a commercial force from 2002-10 and was front and center of pop culture back then. She acheived too much global success and has like two 10+ million selling albums and they don't give her the main stage? 

 

I'm not even a stan of Avril but had she played at a festival I was at I'd go just for the nostalgia.

this was to be expected. they do her dirty at other festivals aswell putting her name somewhere down there as if she wasn't one of THE biggest acts on the planet for a solid ten years

YES!

 

The 2000s MPGs: BRITNEY SPEARS - CHRISTINA AGUILERA - JENNIFER LOPEZ - BEYONCE - AVRIL LAVIGNE - P!NK - SHAKIRA - KELLY CLARKSON. Prove me wrong. 

[Ivan_brit]

Crowd really slayed by Avril

 

I got emotional with Im With You  

 

 

 

Avril the Legend that you are

[KKCuteCat]

She was underestimated. The fact that her name is in the same line with Camila is what bothers me  . 

 

Yeah she should've been in the main stage.

Yet she has had a sold out tour in NA this year and in Europe last year. In NA, some of her shows have nearly 20K attendance. I don't understand why she chose to be a line up over a headliners for her own concerts in Europe. She could easily sell out a 10k venues in some EU cities. Might be she wants a greater exposure or what.

Omg the I'm With You performance is EPIC.

That's exactly what happened back to 2022 when she outperformed the main stage act  . I don't know why but people have always underestimated her selling power since day 1. And if you see the poster, you would be mad to see that her name is so small and way down on the poster. That is the insult to her. I think, she is at least on the level of Christina and Kelly Clarkson (if not achieve bigger success), who will for sure be a headliner if she's in a festival. Would never imagine that Xtina or Kelly do something like that. And i'm not sure if Avril needs this cos she is selling our arena tours on her own

Her hair extensions are so long they look ridiculous  Also how does she dress more immature in her 40s than she did when she was an actual teenager. 

[Kiss It Better]

only 12 songs? what is she an artist who debuted last year?  she should do at least 18 songs

[KKCuteCat]

Does she get extra paid for the number of attendence? Anyone knows?

[Harrier]

How does Glastonbury not get that 00s nostalgia is at is peak right now (20 year cycle!!). Avril has girls who are basically doing tributes to her with their recent albums. Of course she is gonna draw a huge crowd

Right. You can tell they're out of touch with what's trending cause there's no valid reason as to why she wasn't on the Pyramid stage (headlining).

[Red Hot Moon]

The GP loves her (again) & it really doesn't matter, what a few naysayers from her fanbase are whining about.
