The fact that she doesn't have a new single right now to profit from this exposure is such a crime ugh

"Some blamed the sparse attendance for the festival's main stage on the fact that England was also playing in the European Championship tournament at the same time, but the turnout for Lavigne seemed to dispute that theory, with some fans overjoyed at the alignment of Lavigne's and England's dual performances, featuring a goal from Jude Bellingham that kept the country in the tournament." ca.billboard.com/music/concerts/avril-lavigne-glastonbury

Just having dinner in Cardiff before we go in and they’re playing IFILYTD 🥺🥺 They were playing Contagious in the shopping centre in Guildford I was in earlier today. I think Avril at Glasto means people have been putting on her playlists.

Just having dinner in Cardiff before we go in and they’re playing IFILYTD 🥺🥺 One of my favorite little mini-games this forum has started for me is trying to quickly decipher which song these acronyms are referring to, especially when they’re long like this lol. Took me about 30 seconds this time, I’ve still got lots of room for improvement haha. Also didn’t help I got it wrong *IFILWTD! 😂

What. The. Fuck. Was. That. Avril??
She was absolutely INCREDIBLE tonight. Best I’ve ever seen her by an absolute mile (and that includes Bonez Tour). She interacted with the crowd constantly. She was fun. She was charming. She looked absolutely buzzing to be there. Ive seen her on 5 tours now and ive never seen her like that before. Vocals were on point - during WTH, Losing Grip and IWY absolutely incredible, she really went for it the whole show. Minimal time off stage which is a lovely change from the LS tour. Only thing id change is that bloody HAW video lol - it’s nice but way too long (…and I’d add a couple of songs lol). She was so fucking good. I think the festivals this summer have been good for her, she seems so much more confident on stage than she has been in forever. The crowd was massive and literally sang every word - so many different ages there, I think as a big fan it’s easy to forget quite how many huge hits she’s had that people outside of the fanbase know. Only quieter one was LIWYHM. The venue was gorgeous too - we know she loves a castle and being in the grounds with the castle overlooking was gorgeous and she mentioned it a few times. Absolutely flawless - anyone going to Manchester tomorrow you’re in for an absolute treat.
Setlist:
GF WTH Complicated Smile HTNGU - Hot outro MHE He wasn’t DTM Losing grip Addicted W/ simple plan Bite me LIWYHM Sk8er boi HAW When you’re gone IWY

How many times does Avril say 'da' in 'Things I'll Never Say?'

I should also add Simple Plan were fantastic. I’ve always liked them anyway but that’s the third time I’ve seen them as a support act (twice for Avril) and they get the crowd going so well and obviously have so many iconic songs for people from a certain generation lol. I love them. We skipped Phem but so glad we went in for SP.
Set times if useful for anyone going to Manc:
Phem: 6:30-7 Simple Plan: 7:30 - 8:30 Avril: 9-10:30

Amazing in Cardiff tonight. Her voice was so strong! This European leg has been epic. For me if she added Nobody's home it would have been perfect. But I felt I got a good amount of songs I didn't hear live last year

I think her confidence is up more playing to big crowds and seeing them respond well and that pushes her to put on a better show.

Wow, that sounds amazing and totally gets what I was saying a few weeks back. Don't let anyone's opinions mess with your excitement before the show or your own feelings afterward. Those who criticize online will never understand the joy of having your favorite artist perform in front of you.
When I went to her concert, I was blown away, just pure happiness and fulfillment. It felt like the best concert ever. But then, I messed up and checked out the online comments, where people who weren't even there were talking shit about her. How stupid was that? I played the dumb blonde role of being affect by someone's opinion who WERE.NOT.EVEN.THERE! Even people from other countries complaining about a show halfway around the globe... lol... I guess some people expect from her a different kind of show with all theatrics, high energy, and strong moves, stuff I wasn't even expecting... not even my friends who were there with me and also loved it.
But after reading that, I started doubting if my experience was really worth it, all because I let those negative vibes mess with my first impression.
Took me a bit, but I finally realized it's what I felt that counts. And that goes for everyone.
For those going, trust your own take, live it up, and if you really feel like the concert you are attending is good enough, enjoy every moment of it!

Mm I think it depends. I wasn’t impressed with the show of hers I went to last year but still had a good time. You can have fun and acknowledge it’s not necessarily a great show. Or you can have fun and think it’s a great show. It’s all relative. This tour had a rocky start and the criticisms were fair imo. But she’s pulled it out the bag more recently and she’s doing great, she’s definitely turned it around.

Okay, let’s not start with the narrative that everyone was just being a bitter hater before and somehow just magically got to see the light. PLENTY of people that attended her concerts have come out and said that she was a disappointment, she didn't get just a bunch of positive reviews.
It's obvious that at least vocally her concerts have improved since the beginning of the tour, she's been reaching notes and doing vocal runs that she couldn’t be arsed to do before. Let's just hope she keeps this up!!
