Avril Lavigne’s more recent tours have had limited presence on U.S. soil, and if you were born the day of her last show in town (a post-Rays game concert that made headlines due to her saying obscenities after a microphone malfunction), you’re probably an incoming high school freshman.
Since then, the 40-year-old pop-punk pioneer put out three studio albums, and is now touring behind a greatest hits compilation that dropped last summer. This scorcher of a gig at the ol’ Gary amphitheater is gonna feel like a stripped-down Warped Tour with Simple Plan and We The Kings opening. Mazel tov to her, right?
