I was at Pinkpop and heard people say she looked annoyed on stage. She sometimes looked a bit concerned from what I’ve seen. The show was 1 hour so it was short and only singles indeed but I expected nothing more. I had a feeling she would do IAM with Yungblud and she did. He’s so energetic and I noticed the crowd went more active with him there. A lot of people who weren’t hardcore fans were there but okay it’s a festival. Like am I crazy to pay 145 euros, 22,50 euros for parking and drive like 2,5 hours to and 2,5 hours back home from the festival just for Avril and her 1 hour show? Probably. My car got stuck in the mud so a tractor had to pull it out of the mud so I could go home and I wasn’t even front row cause maneskin fans blocked the front the whole day, taking shifts in getting food and drinks and toilet breaks. It was raining cats and dogs the whole day, I was soaked to the bone. What I do to see Avril live tho haha! She went off the stage 2 times but quickly came back. No outfit change but she sounded good! Especially Losing Grip live really is like the best song! Live it sounds like a real full rock song! Love that one live.
edit: the Dutch article is really bad… the Netherlands really think she doesn’t have hits besides Complicated and Sk8Er Boi. I feel kinda sad this country thinks that way but it’ll never change i guess. And people didn’t knew LIWYHM or Bite Me.
It’s amazing we’re getting all these livestreams!! Even if they’re shorter shows, I love the fact that we get to have these shows professionally recorded.
They uploaded the HD version of yesterday’s show on YouTube, but unfortunately it’s just 18 minutes of it
Why does she insist on having that weird ass accent when she sings lately.
Great outfit, makeup and fantastic sound (except feedback beeps when she walked under the big speakers on the right and occasional microphone issues)!
Girlfriend, WTH, popped a soap bubble with her nails during Complicated xD cute moment
Then HTNGU, after that a (partly streamed) trailer for a docu? Probably just a collage of media and footage of her early carreer.
Then MHE with Avril strumming the electric guitar, even solo strumming (none of the guitarists played) before the play-and-stop game leading up to He Wasn't.
Continuing to play the guitar through DTM. She often smiles since she plays the guitar.
Next is Losing Grip with an oopsie by a guitarist
Addicted To You with Simple Plan and tee-throwing. Then Bite Me, LIWYHM, Sk8er Boi with lots of light, fog jet and fire
Beautiful and captivating intro with video collage to HAW, sung to a sea of cellphone lights <3
Closing with I'm With You. Gotta say her singing improved much compared to the LS tour. I noticed her having problems with the monitor but she was enjoing the show nonetheless.

Just watched her pinkpop show and it's so visible how her voice is clearer than last era. Seems like it's getting back to where it was before Lyme. The Bite Me performance was so good. Her low register caught me off guard. I think is one of my favorite performances of the song.
I was only able to watch part of today’s stream with a free VPN, but it was so cool to watch her call SP on stage and playing Addicted! Don’t Tell Me was back , and it seems that she played 14 songs , including HAW. I hope someone uploads it soon
Watching her Pinkpop concert and she seems fine. I think these recent concerts showcased some of the best vocal moments of her career.
Just watched this. She was really good. She seems to have improved since the American leg of the tour where she sounded wobbly at times. Don’t get the criticism from the Dutch press tho. The crowd were absolutely dead there. Not sure she could do much else there. Losing Grip sounded great. Her vocals were clear as a whistle. I feel hopeful for Glastonbury now. Did she only do three songs tho?
Yah I dont quite understand the criticisms for Pinkpop conceet either. Yes, she may not be the most energetic performer there, but it's not like she did nothing on stage either.

She wasn't very active physically during performances, but vocally, wow! I just loved it.
I also noticed how the crowd seemed dead... maybe she's not as popular in the Netherlands? Or was it the rain? They mainly sang along to her most well-known singles. The only times I really noticed people singing along enthusiastically were during IWY and impressively, I Am a Mess.
Really impressed by how Bite Me lifted up the energy. It shows the force of her most recent catalogue.

Just came back from front row center to the camping ground, she was amazing at Hurricane. In a really good mood, amazing vocals, not too low energy and Simple Plan joining was fun. My only criticism is that she still had 6 minutes left after I‘m with You, so she easily could have kept When You‘re Gone or AT LEAST the Snippet of Hot.

But there were also nice reviews, some so good that even I disagree to some extent lol...
"Above all, there is a mature artist on stage. Avril has become an artist who fits perfectly into the pop ranks of Robbie Williams or P!nk. In the current form of Pinkpop, her place on this year's lineup is more than justified. It seems that the edges of teenage anxiety have now given way to personal growth and reflection."
