Avril Lavigne's First Tour In Five Years Starts This Fall

It's been five long years since Avril Lavigne went on tour in December of 2013. It was named immediately after herself, right after her self-titled fifth studio album, and had five legs and more than 70 shows – a massive trek that signed her off the radar, to recuperate and prepare for the next journey. She released her sixth album, Head Above Water, in February of this year, logging back inside the world's database. Right now, she's getting prepared to go again with a new tour, more intimate than the last.


The Head Over Water tour is a North American trek on a much smaller scale – just fifteen dates, kicking off on September 14 in Seattle, Washington and wrapping up on October 11 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Of its dates, just one is in her house nation of Canada, where she visits Toronto on October 6. General ticket sale starts on June 28 at 10 a.M. Local time through her website. Some of the cash is going to a good cause also – a dollar of each ticket buy will go towards the Avril Lavigne Foundation that supports people with Lyme infection and other serious illnesses and disabilities.


Head Over Water arrived with the power of three massive singles – the title track, "Tell Me It's Over," which incorporates a video with a heated Christmas confrontation with a lover, and "Dumb Blonde" featuring Nicki Minaj. Of the album, before it's release, Lavigne revealed in a statement that, "I feel like I’ve really widened up on this record more than I ever have before. Each song tells a story that will hopefully inspire others to believe in themselves and stand up for what they know is right and what they truly deserve!"
