The Canadian singer is playing Manchester and London in 2020
Pop-rock star Avril Lavigne has added on a series of stops to her world tour, including two dates in the UK.
The tour announcement comes in the wake of a US tour promoting her Head Above Water album, which was released in February earlier this year and featured singles Head Above Water, Tell Me It’s Over and Dumb Blonde.
And the singer, who first shot to fame in 2002 with punk-pop track Sk8er Boi, is set to perform in London and then Manchester in April of next year, more than a year after the album’s release.
Prior to UK performances the Complicated singer has dates lined up for Milan, Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels slated, along with a whole host of further European performances.
‘Exactly what I needed’
Avril Lavigne revealed the news in an interview with Live Nation, admitting that the tour had brought her “so much happiness”.
“We had the most amazing time performing on the US Head Above Water Tour!! I can’t believe how quickly it went by,” she said. “Seeing all your faces each night and feeling your energy was exactly what I needed.”
“I truly missed being up on stage, singing with you and this has brought me so much happiness which is why I’m even more excited to announce that I’ll be taking the Head Above Water Tour worldwide next year with dates in Europe, Japan, China and Southeast Asia!”
