Canadian talent kicks off tour in

Victoria!

Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, Victoria

Doors: 6:00pm

The Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre is proud to announce that Canadian Avril Lavigne will kick off her “Best Damn Tour” on March 5th in Victoria. The tour is being produced by Live Nation and the feature special guests will be Boys Like Girls.

The enormous success of her third studio album and second consecutive #1 debut, Best Damn Thing, has brought Avril back out on the road for this latest tour.

Best Damn Thing, released in April 2007, is already certified platinum in the U.S and has sold over 4.5 million copies worldwide. Produced by Butch Walker (The Donnas, American Hi-Fi, Lavigne's second album Under My Skin), Dr. Luke (Pink, Lady Sovereign), Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance) and her husband Deryck Whibley, Best Damn Thing was made with fun in mind. This is evident from the first single, "Girlfriend," which reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 200. Fans can expect to see the high-spirited energy of the record come to life through Lavigne's stage show, which will feature dancers and a live band.

Having sold close to 30 million albums worldwide, Avril Lavigne is quickly paving her own path to rock 'n' roll royalty. She burst onto the music scene in 2002 with the critically acclaimed Let Go, which featured the smash singles "Sk8r Boi" and "Complicated." Let Go earned Lavigne eight Grammy nominations and has sold more than 16 million copies worldwide. Her 2004 sophomore effort, Under My Skin, debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts, as did her much anticipated third album, Best Damn Thing. Lavigne is also making a name for herself in the acting world, with a recent role in the Richard Linklater-directed Fast Food Nation and voice work in the animated Over the Hedge.
