I’m a huge simple plan fan, having seen them multiple times so in my biased opinion I’m happy they are playing a similar set in length to Avril if she’s not adding to her time slot.
So I’ve had a minor but invasive surgery scheduled and rescheduled multiple times all summer due to work and not being able to get the time off. It’s scheduled on the date of the Avril concert>> I can’t push it back anymore but I am not missing it (I hope) 😬

The rumored reason is that they weren’t confident she’d sell enough tickets, so they included more famous opening acts (like SP and ATW) and gave them big sets to help boost sales. Ofc, these are just rumors. I think it makes some sense, but the real reason could be that she simply doesn’t want to perform a longer set and prefers to let the opening acts have more time. We'll never know. Other reason is that contracts play a huge role, opening acts have their own agreements and demands...
For instance, Paramore canceled their entire Latin American tour but is still opening for Taylor Swift in Europe. This may be because they want to avoid the substantial fines, insurance costs, and risks associated with canceling a large-scale tour like The Eras, even as an opening act... risks that are unfortunately more significant than those involved with the South American festivals they canceled.

Yeah I'm honestly of the mind that she knows her setlist isn't very long but she's not physically capable of playing longer so she feels supplementing with longer sets from the openers kind of makes up for it, for the crowd to feel like they got a long show even if it isn't all from her.

And 2 opening acts is ridiculous. Phem was very good opener with 30 minutes!

I saw Avril last night in Ottawa & she was incredible! Her vocals were outstanding, her audience participation was 100 percent & I really enjoyed the montage of videos played of her career over the yrs. Overall, a fantastic show, Simple Plan & Girlfriends were both excellent openers, I didn’t mind the length they were on stage at all. Everyone, inc myself had an absolute blast & that’s all that’s matters to me.. Avril gave the crowd what they came for , a fun night of her greatest hits/nostalgia & she delivered! 10/10 imo!

I mean, it’s Simple Plan. They wouldn’t agree on spending so much time on tour with Avril to play for 45 minutes. They monetize this tour extremely well, with m&g vip upgrades and all. Personally I won’t stand 2 opening acts playing long sets, even though I know I’d enjoy Simple Plan, but they clearly are a selling factor for this tour. I wonder more why they left the pit half empty in Ottawa yesterday Yeah I'm honestly of the mind that she knows her setlist isn't very long but she's not physically capable of playing longer so she feels supplementing with longer sets from the openers kind of makes up for it, for the crowd to feel like they got a long show even if it isn't all from her. I don’t think that’s the case. Her Euro solo shows without Simple Plan were her normal length and opening acts were like 40 minutes, she was basically starting super late. They are not unknown to agree on minimum sets or the other way around - they were wanted to the extreme they made their depends

I want that skateboard too but in Europe she didn't invited people on those festival stages most of the time. I wish you could buy that board in her shop!

They sell it at the merch table in the US, I’d say if they can’t sell it all, they’ll put it online after the tour! But if you know anyone from the US or who’s going to a US date I’d ask them to ship or bring it to you!

I seem to remember the skateboards being available on her website before but maybe they sold out.
