Glasto press still going At Avril Lavigne's Other Stage performance on Saturday, where record-breaking numbers turned out to watch the Napanee, Ontario native showcase the colossal discography she's built up over her career — not just "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" but "My Happy Ending," "He Wasn't," "What the Hell" and "Here's to Never Growing Up" – I realised I knew her songs so well because of my younger sibling, who played Lavigne's first two albums incessantly when I was a teenager. I pretended not to like the songs back then — a fact that made me appreciate the relationship we have now — but there, buoyed by the voices of a crowd pushing 70,000, I couldn't help but be moved by the poetic loneliness of set highlight "I'm with You," a song whose simplicity underscores its pleading humanity: "Isn't anyone trying to find me?" As for Avril herself, she began the set a little distant, able to muster just a sliver of the excitement her fans were showing her, but she warmed up quickly enough, grinning at the volume of the crowd's singing during "Complicated" and teasing them with impossible call-and-response clapping rhythms before launching into "He Wasn't." exclaim.ca/music/article/glastonbury-2024-festival-recap

Is 70.000 a big number at Glastonbury? Isn't the Pyramid stage capacity 200.000? How many people watched Coldplay at Glastonbury?

Just got an Ad on Instagram from bbciplayer using Avril that said 'Glastonbury, bringing you Avril Lavigne.' She really did steal the show

So happy for her! She deserves it. I hope she takes advantage of all this hype and extends the tour next year. Asia, Latinamerica, even Australia and maybe more US shows. I'm sure she'd do great.

Italy tonight. She has a lot of fans there so I'm hoping for another great concert.
4 more concerts until the European leg is over.

How many songs do you think Avril may sing at Barcelona Festival (Cruïlla)? I've never been in a Festival and I don't know what to expect.

She’s scheduled for 90 minutes so should be like the solo shows in Pula & the UK includind getting fans on stage. So 16 plus the snippet of Hot. Mad cool is only 60 minutes, so 12 songs there.

But has she ever brought fans up on stage when it wasnt her solo show? I don't think so. She played the song with Simple Plan at the Southside but didnt bring any fans up. It wasnt 90 minutes long though. I don't think its something they do at festivals. But we will see. Also at the date shes playing cruilla and madcool theres none of her friends there at the lineup so she probably wont bring anyone up on stage.I would be really surprised but happy for anyone being picked.

Does anyone think Avril may extend this tour into 2025 a bit like she did with the Bonez Tour? I think she could fill arenas across the UK judging by the reaction to her here in the last few shows. Totally, she will do Asia and South America, Australia probably too They will carry on with this tour at least for a year now, if not longer

It is a festival but there are also only 3 bands on her stage on Friday, her included, so it could be that she brings people on stage but maybe not. I‘d say it’s 50/50 as she has to fill her 90 minutes somehow haha She will probably sing All The Small Things like she did in Pula. There she got people on stage for Sk8er Boi.

Back from Today's I Days show. What can I say, always nice to see her but not her best show at all. I was in Front Row, so my view was simply amazing. The day was extremely hot, 31C ( 88 F). Anyways I saw when she came out for Girlfriend that she was annoyed, lazy and during the whole set I had this feeling like she didn't want to be there or that she simply couldn't wait for her own show to be over. Obviously there were some little fun moments like when she popped a bottle of champagne and when she did the HW game with the hands, but that was it. People complained that she cut many songs (there was a man who came on stage many times during the set and changing the paper with the setlist, as if she decided to do some changes during the set itself, it happened at least twice during the show, never seen such a thing before) She didn't play Don't Tell Me for example, not even Smile and not When You're gone and maybe some other songs I can't remember right now. Also random people who were there for Sum41 kept asking why she left the stage so many times if then she was always coming back with the same outfit lol and I noticed that she touches so many times her outfits, adjusts her clothes, her long hair goes on the guitar chords and there was a kind of problem also in this today. Also another thing I didn't like, but not Avril's fault, were the "flames" on stage. Unfortunately, with the extreme hot weather, everytime they did those fire "shows" at the end of the songs, we were literally obliged to cover our faces sometimes because we could feel them burning, literally as a serious burn in the face. Obviously it's always nice to see her, but I saw better shows

That could explain she was not excited and annoyed. Something like the "one fkin minute" incident with green day back in 2012

I don't understand why they keep fire in performances when it's hot. I bet even the performers are like 🥵
