About the Toronto show on August 16, she was FANTASTIC! I think her voice is in great shape and is stronger on this leg of the tour so far. She sings 3-4 songs continuously and then a short break to change costume and onto the next set of songs. I dont think the break is that long/bad and the HAW intro isnt that bad either. Surprisingly I saw ppl around me chanting HAW song and watching the HAW intro excitedly. Avril did all the songs like previous shows except that WYG was cut short for this show (just the 1st verse and chorus - I think she did it on purpose to save her voice for the show on the next day - 2 shows in a row - or her voice needs a bit of a break that day. I would cut her some slack for this). But other than that, her energy is perfectly fine - not insanely wild but not boring at all. She comes off as really down to earth and mature and authentic during the whole show. The visuals are great - it goes well with her songs and her image. Nothing over the top but very pleasant on the eyes. The first 4 songs of the show are packed with her biggest hits and the crowd went wild. Girfriend is the perfect opening song. The crowd chanted really loud during the mf princess part too loll. The Under My Skin - Bite Me song set hit hard and so cool! She seems to be feeling those songs well. Her voice during Losing Grip reminds me of Alanis Morrisette in a good way. The crowd was feeling it during My Happy Ending and even applauded for a while after that song is done. He Wasnt and Dont Tell Me was well received too and a lot of ppl seem to know those songs. I was a bit surprised that Avril has quite many male fans at the concert I went to and those fans know the words to her songs, esp her earlier hits. She nailed Im With You as always and the crowd really loved it. Love It When You Hate Me seems to be the weakest song of the night but even then it doesnt stick out like a sore thumb or the worst song/performance of all time. It's just the weakest song out of her biggest songs, but it's fine and the visuals, her vocals during that song are good. I think she put her effort to take this tour to the next level and it shows. Her voice got stronger/sound better and more consistent compared to last few tours, song choices are great as they work well together, visuals are cool and pleasant on the eyes. I dont have much to complain about this show. If there's more songs, its great. But I think if she could consistently around 15 songs per night-around 1h30mins - I think its still acceptable for her standard and for our expectation. And I think she got much better and much more confident compared to the first few shows of the tour. I think the success of the Uk tour helped her understand what works for her show, what she's capable of, and what makes ppl love her as an artist. Its great to see she is getting better and out there doing the shows and boosting her Spotify numbers. I'm really happy for her and inspired by her efforts to build things up since she got back to the industry in 2019 and after some ups and downs afterwards. I cant wait to see what she plans to do next and hope that she will continue to tour and that she's still in good shape to do so

She did last night + invited a few fans on stage & gifted them skateboards. Amazing!!! How early does one have to queue to be front row? I'll be attending Chicago's show and I'm very excited Iβm not sure. I arrived a bit late (traffic issues) gates opened at 6PMβ¦ Enjoy your show in Chicago!!

Given consistency has been such an issue for her in recent years, itβs great to read that sheβs still putting on great shows! It really does feel like Glasto did wonders for her confidence, it all seemed to change for the better after that

I'll be attending Chicago's show and I'm very excited If you have early entrance then even arriving around 3pm or so should still be fine. If you donβt have, chances to be frontfrow are slim anyways, but Iβd queue from very early.

Is she still bringing people on stage? Yes, I donβt think she did at the festival date a few days ago but the other shows she did. Weirdly enough her team fucked up on the one show and made the fans leave the stage too early so she called 2 more people on stage afterwards who then didnβt get skateboards though.

I really enjoyed reading your words, so thanks for posting it. I can only go by what I've seen from online footage, photos etc. but you've nailed a lot of what I thought about Avril's recent shows. The visuals look really cool and I love the various nods to different phases of her career, and the way the setlist is structured flows nicely. I'm so glad to see that Head Above Water got so much appreciation at your show as its one of my favourite songs and deserves more love IMO! Most of all though, I agree with your last sentence - seeing Avril looking so happy and well on stage again after all that she's been through is absolutely fantastic and that's the main reason why this tour is so great.

Does anyone know if they sold Early Entry tickets for Chicago? Once I purchased my ticket there was only verified resale for GA so I got that one and I bought the fast lane upgrade cause I really want to be front row but if there's people with Early Entry then there's no point .
