Avril Lavigne – most famous for her early hits including ‘Sk8er Boi’, ‘Complicated’ and ‘Girlfriend’ – shared her latest studio album back in February 2022 under the title ‘Love Sux’. She later released an expanded deluxe version of the LP in November of that year.

Her upcoming shows in the UK aren’t the only tour dates the Canadian singer has lined up for summer 2024. As previously announced, Lavigne will be playing a series of live shows across June and July to celebrate the album.

These kick off with a show in Austria on June 13, and continue with dates in Spain, Italy, Germany and France.

In other Avril Lavigne news, last month the pop-punk icon made a surprise appearance at When We Were Young festival. While onstage, she first joined All Time Low for ‘Fake As Hell’, her new collaborative track with the band, before launching into a performance of her hit ‘Sk8er Boi’.

She did something similar over the summer too, when she joined Miranda Lambert during her set at the CMA Fest to perform the famous 2002 track.
