Avril Lavigne, the queen of early 2000s pop-punk, has officially announced a brand-new global tour, thrilling fans around the world. The tour, titled “The Sk8er Boi Tour,” is set to kick off in early 2026 and will celebrate the 25th anniversary of her breakthrough debut album Let Go, while also showcasing new music from her upcoming studio release.
Known for her rebellious attitude, catchy hooks, and genre-blending style, Lavigne rose to fame in 2002 with hits like “Complicated,” “Sk8er Boi,” and “I’m with You.” Over the years, she’s continued to evolve musically, embracing pop, punk, and alternative rock, while maintaining the bold personality that has made her a generation-defining artist.
In a statement released through her label, Lavigne expressed her excitement for the tour:
“It feels amazing to be going back on the road. This tour is going to be a celebration of everything my fans and I have been through together—from the early days of Let Go to where I am now. I’ve missed the stage, and I’m ready to rock harder than ever.”
The Sk8er Boi Tour will begin in Toronto, Canada—Lavigne’s home country—before heading to major cities across North America, Europe, South America, and Asia. Early tour dates include stops in New York, London, Paris, São Paulo, Berlin, Tokyo, and Sydney. More dates are expected to be added due to high demand.
Alongside her classic hits, fans can expect to hear unreleased material from Lavigne’s highly anticipated new album, which is said to draw inspiration from both her early punk influences and her more recent introspective songwriting. According to industry insiders, the album includes collaborations with contemporary artists, bridging the gap between her original fan base and a new generation of listeners.
The tour announcement comes at a time when pop-punk is experiencing a strong revival, with younger artists citing Lavigne as a key influence. Her recent collaborations with artists like Machine Gun Kelly, Willow, and Yungblud have introduced her to new fans, solidifying her status as both a nostalgic icon and a modern force.
Fans can sign up for pre-sale access and VIP ticket packages, which include exclusive meet-and-greet opportunities, behind-the-scenes access, and commemorative merchandise. General ticket sales begin next month, with details available on Lavigne’s official website.
As Avril Lavigne prepares to hit the road once again, her message to fans is loud and clear: the punk princess is back—and she’s ready to bring the energy, attitude, and anthems that have defined her legacy.
