Avril Lavigne has just announced a short North American tour — her first in more than five years.
The Complicated singer revealed the news in a video posted to her social media accounts on Monday.
“Hey everyone. I’m so excited to be announcing the Head Above Water tour,” she said. “It’s finally here.”
The 15-date tour kicks off this September in Seattle before concluding in Philadelphia in October.
Along the way, Lavigne, 34, will play a sole Canadian show at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.
The Head Above Water tour comes in support of the album of the same name, released in February. It was Lavigne’s first record in nearly six years and her sixth studio album overall.
Ultimately, Head Above Water recounts the singer’s difficult and lengthy battle with Lyme disease.
She went public with her diagnosis in 2015. She battled the disease for an entire year before dropping off the public radar and going quiet for almost two years post-announcement.
But now she’s back and more fierce than ever. The passion and emotion present in both her lyrics and voice shine through incredibly in her latest effort.
One dollar from each purchased ticket will be donated to the Avril Lavigne Foundation. Lavigne founded the charity in 2010 to support individuals with disabilities and life-threatening illnesses like Lyme disease. Through programs and grants, it provides prevention resources, funds treatment and accelerates research in order to provide hope and transform lives.
