Avril Lavigne concert chronology

The Love Sux Tour[1] (originally titled Tour 2022 and the Bite Me Tour[2]) was the seventh concert tour by Canadian recording artist, Avril Lavigne. The tour launched in support of her seventh studio album Love Sux (2022). The tour began in Orillia, Canada, on April 30, 2022, and concluded in London, England, on May 10, 2023.

Background

Following her Head Above Water Tour in 2019, Lavigne announced shows in Europe, in October 2021. The dates were composed of canceled shows from 2020 and 2021, due to the pandemic. It was also reported shows in southeast Asia for May 2022,[3] but those shows were cancelled. Following the release of the album's lead single, the singer revealed concerts in Canada, her first in a decade.[4]

Alternative rap artists Mod Sun and Grandson will serve as the opening acts for these dates.[5]

One dollar from each concert ticket purchased will be donated to the Avril Lavigne Foundation.[6]

The tour was originally slated to start February 2022, but were rescheduled to the spring.[7] European dates were postponed 2023, citing venue and travel restrictions, related to the ongoing pandemic.[8] During the tour, Lavigne will also have performances at various music festivals including: Boston Calling,[9] When We Were Young[10] Rock in Rio[11] the Firefly Music Festival[12] and the iHeartRadio Music Festival.[13]
