Maybe she shouldn't skip singles altogether, but she shouldn't keep playing he same singles over and over. Even though Complicated and Sk8er Boi launched her career and Girlfriend was her biggest hit, she should stray away from these. Or better yet, rather than keeping certain singles on or off the set list, she should alter it and play different singles for different shows.
You're right that singles are important for her to play, but not only should her set lists not consist of all singles, it shouldn't consist of the same singles all of the time.

To be honest even though I've heard Complicated, SB, and GF millions of times, I'd personally be so disappointed if I went to a show and she didn't play them. She definitely should never leave those off the setlist. She could do with scrapping He Wasn't, IAGWIW, WTH, Smile, WYWH, and probably WYG/Hot/DTM. Complicated, SB, IWY, MHE, and GF are musts though. I can practically guarantee fans would be upset if she didn't play her most iconic hits. You have to remember most people seeing her are not the hardcore fans like us that want to hear Bsides and rarities live. These are the people who request to hear Sk8er Boi when she asks what fans want to hear. They don't know much outside of her hits. She has to cater to those people who come too and honestly hearing the hits live is so much different and better than watching them on YouTube. It's fun to sing along. Avril should definitely keep them, just ditch the ones that weren't as successful.

I wouldnt mind a setlist full of Singles, if she would arrange or sing them different. Her concerts are boring because its always the same. What about a rock-version of IWY or another verse for MHE or a mash-up of GF and WTH or guest-singer or fans on stage or whatever. I agree with Bogo that some Songs are a must at her show, but she could interprete them different from show to show

When she did Losing Grip acoustic on TBDTour that was really cool. A medley of Complicated and HTNGU would be neat too. Britney Spears changes up the arrangements of her singles for pretty much every tour, like she'll do Baby One More Time as a cabaret song or Gimme More with a Middle Eastern sound, etc. It makes the old singles sound fresh and new. When Avril did GF acoustic that sounded really awesome and I also enjoy the Submarines Time Warp '66 mix.

Yeah, I'd also love if Avril changed the arrangements of her songs time to time.
The acoustic performance of Losing Grip from Toronto DVD is actually my favourite performance of the song ever. And I was pleased basically every time Avril decided to do an acoustic performance of any song which wasn't originally intended to be acoustic. I also like how Avril used to play Airplanes before MHE during BST or how she changed the way of performing Everybody Hurts when she sang it with Evan.
Or the performances of IWY from the first part of AL tour were great and different from her earlier performances of the song. I mean both the way she sang it and the instrumental.

I can't imagine a concert without Sk8er boi,complicated, girlfriend, because these songs have so much meaning to Avril to the fans. Otherwise sometimes it is boring to listen it for some fans. I really like those concerts when the fans had the chance to request some songs in each city such as Sao Paulo. I really hope when Avril will have a new tour she will do the same. With this step the concerts will be more personal I also like to hear older songs from her such as Too much to ask, nobody's fool,naked or innocence, but also want to hear falling fast live

It would be the best concert ever People can watch the Complicated and Sk8er Boi performances from thousends of different shows on YouTube. And yes I also became a fan when I heard Complicated, but I wanna grow you understand? It's not that I never wanna hear them again but at the moment I'm just so tired of only the singles, that's nothing new to me and I'm questioning myself if I woulkd go to a concert with only that? And that's a lot for someone who is willing to pay 300 Euro's for another meet and greet and front row concert People always saying that those songs are pumping up the crowd and getting the audience excited but I will be as much (or well... MORE) excited to hear new material

I voted for Bitchin' Summer - yeah that rap part! - haha and I love the song. How does it feel, Darlin because they would sound killer with accoustic guitar and I picked Not Enough and You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet beacuse I think with the band live it would just be awesome!

I also agree that singles need to be at the concerts, especially certain ones. As someone who has never seen her live (I probably never will either, doubt that she will come back to South Africa) it would be really dissapointing not seeing them at all. Buuut I do like the idea of making it fresh and new, the mashups would be pretty neat! And some accoustic performances of unexpected songs would be cool too.

To be honest, it's not even full songs that would truly intrigue me; it's more MOMENTS of songs that I'd like to hear- eg the adlibs at the end of WYWH, the big note/moment of Innocence etal. I'd like to see her tackle those.
