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, launched in support of her seventh studio album Love Sux (2022). It commenced on April 30, 2022, in Orillia, Canada, and concluded on May, 10 2023, in London, England. The tour included appearances at festivals across Canada, Europe and North America.
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 served as the opening acts.[5]
One dollar from each concert ticket purchased was 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 to 2023, citing venue and travel restrictions, related to the ongoing pandemic.[8] During the tour, Lavigne also performed 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]
