Avril Lavigne Announces “BEST DAMN TOUR”

Following the enormous success of her third studio album and second consecutive #1 debut, Best Damn Thing, Avril Lavigne has announced plans for her 2008 “Best Damn Tour.” Produced by Live Nation and featuring special guests Boys Like Girls, the tour will begin March 5 in Victoria, BC. Today from Hollywood’s famed Whisky A-Go-Go, Lavigne announced 32 North American dates. Tickets go on sale beginning Saturday, Nov. 17 at 10 a.m.

“I can’t wait to get back out on the road!” says Lavigne, “I have the most fun when I am performing for the fans. I think that energy comes through in my live show.”

Best Damn Thing, released in April 2007, is already certified platinum in the U.S and has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide. Produced by Butch Walker (The Donnas, American Hi-Fi, Lavigne’s second album Under My Skin), Dr. Luke (Pink, Lady Sovereign), Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance) and her husband Deryck Whibley, Best Damn Thing was made with fun in mind. This is evident from the first single, “Girlfriend,” which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 200. Fans can expect to see the high-spirited energy of the record come to life through Lavigne’s stage show, which will feature dancers and a live band.
