Today was 75 minutes Tomorrow is officially 80 minutes, let‘s see if she manages to put another song. 60 minutes shows are: pinkpop, Rock Werchter, Tinderbox, Glastonbury, Main Square Everything else is 75 and more. Mad cool still unknown. I’m confused. Was this a festival with other artists or was this her own concert with support? If it’s a festival seems like a fairly decent length set although arguably the same setlist as the US tour she was headlining. I agree drop the interlude and HAW and play NH!m for gods sake! Yes, it was a festival performance, she wasn’t even a headliner of the night. Her solo shows are in Pula, Bedford (its name as a festival but it’s just the name), Cardiff, Manchester and Nimes but I think it won’t influence the setlist much - in Bedford she’ll probably do the cover with Phem since she’s there but I really don’t think a 75 and 90 minutes long slots mean anything to Avril. She’ll play what she plays despite some extra time

That’s a good festival setlist but I agree I’d drop HAW. Brings the mood down a bit and it’s not really a well known song for a festival. I’d keep Smile tbh, it’s fun.

But if she didn’t perform it there wouldn’t be any representation for that album, it seems like she wanted every album to get at least one song.

Wow, it looks like such a nice show!
By the way, talking about future shows, if I were her, when I bring Phem on stage, I'd pick one of MY songs to sing with her instead of a cover! Ugh! Fake As Hell is understandable since Avril is featured in the song, but I don't like the idea of singing All the Small Things or Wannabe again when her catalog is wide enough.
Also, I don't get why people hate the presence of Love It When You Hate Me so much, saying they 'don't understand' why it's on the setlist. I mean, it's not one of my favorite songs, but it's one of her more recent hits. When she doesn't sing her current songs, people complain, and when she does, they complain too.
I think at the end of the day, we just want her to sing our favorites, and that's fine and a right opinion to share. Personally, I'd rather have another song than LIWYHM at my concert. But thinking more impartially, let's not forget this song is her most recent radio hit, as many people have already mentioned here.
If she only sang old songs, she'd be accepting that she's just yesterday's news, and that's terrible for her branding.

But if she didn’t perform it there wouldn’t be any representation for that album, it seems like she wanted every album to get at least one song. I feel the same. At the same time, I'm not sure if it brings the energy down for everybody. Maybe this is just part of personal opinions. It's also a more reflective moment in the show, though it’s kind of weird as some people might be doing drugs while she's singing a gospel song 💀... But Katy Perry also had By the Grace of God on her setlist during the Prism tour, and it was being played at festivals when she was at her peak, even though it wasn't a single. Or even Demi Lovato singing Skin of My Teeth at a lot of festivals recently... that's such a deep song about her near-death experience and rehab. These are just examples that popped into my mind when I tried to recall if other artists do it, and I think they do. I feel that while some people might feel down with these songs, others don't find it unexpected for a pop artist to have more introspective, ballad-like, or mellow moments. Even for rock bands, I guess. I'm afraid there would be no other song for HAW if it wasn't for this single.

Apart from the number of songs, I also think organization is a problem lol, but I'm glad her concerts have become much better compared to the first ones. Today's concert, especially, she seemed so comfortable and nice on stage imho! <3

I think HAW slays live, doesnt bring down the energy for me. Its not only a great ballad, its so deep and meaningful for her and you can feel it. Its a good song.

First review from yesterday. Translated from Czech by automatic translator:
Avril Lavigne remained a young rebel at Rock for People
Ondřej Hricko
On June 4, 2002, the then barely eighteen-year-old Canadian released her debut album "Let Go," which forever changed not only her life but also influenced an entire generation of teenagers. We're talking about Avril Lavigne, who, after twenty-two years, came to present her seminal debut and other works to fans at Rock for People.
If the busy Friday evening didn't also offer Bring Me The Horizon, playing in their currently immense form, Avril Lavigne would surely have been one of the festival's headliners. Instead, she had to settle for an earlier evening slot. However, her fans didn't mind - they faithfully filled the long runway in front of the main stage.
Before her performance began, spectators could appreciate an impressive acrobatic aerial show above their heads. Although no such act took place on stage in the following hour and a bit, Avril otherwise did a good and honest job.
She brought two large skulls pierced by hearts, confetti clouds, and one brave outfit for an early forty-something (lady forgive) composed of a stretched-out jersey and fishnet garters. These initially troubled her a bit, and visibly uncomfortable, the singer adjusted them every minute.
The opening song of the set became the first single "Girlfriend" from the third album "The Best Damn Thing," preceded by a slightly unpleasant jerking projection of hearts, anarchist A's, and her name. Initially, it looked more like technical issues, but since the entire subsequent concert projection was fine, it was clearly intentional, albeit strange.
Avril treated her performance as a career flyby, as evidenced not only by representing all seven of her recordings but also by a retrospective video featuring various clips and highlights from her peak fame. The singer had at least a moment to catch her breath and disappear backstage. Her return eventually took a little while, and the band stretched out the instrumental line of the song "My Happy Ending." Her accompanying musicians didn't come up with much during the escape and repeated one riff in a several-minute wait. This caused the concert to slump a bit halfway through, and it took a while for the chemistry to be restored among the audience.
Helping this were "Losing Grip" played from the debut and especially the heartrending ballad "When You're Gone," during which the performer sent imaginary heart shapes created from her fingers. She demonstrated that she still commands respect when she directed the crowd's cheers with only subtle gestures. The petite blonde with a perpetually youthful expression has undeniable charisma. Indeed, as she walked through the lower corridor under the stage during "Love It When You Hate Me," many girls and even many boys and men cheered, eliciting more than one mischievous smile on her face.
Of course, the perhaps most famous hit "Sk8er Boi" couldn't be missing at the end, and without waiting for chants, she played two encores - "Head Above Water" and "I'm With You." The latter was sung along with her by those who otherwise don't know her work very well.
Two years ago, Avril Lavigne returned with her seventh studio album "Love Sux," skillfully dusting off her pop-punk roots. Her concert in Hradec Králové had a typically rebellious pink-and-black visual, a more rock-oriented charge, and a provocatively star-studded appearance. Moreover, the native of Ontario vocally handled the concert superbly: she only made minor intonation imperfections that had minimal impact on the overall impression. Thus, she created a welcome female counterpart this year to otherwise purely male headliners.
tl;dr Despite minor technical glitches, Avril's charisma and stage presence were undeniable The audience responded enthusiastically, filling the venue and engaging actively with her music The pause was too long, a mood killer, and the bamd just played the same parts of MHE over and over again

We don’t hate it, it’s just not the right vibe for a festival! I agree she shouldn’t be performing LIWYHM for any shows lol it’s an awful song and a crappy single
