Vancouver, BC – Multi-platinum artist and multiple-time Juno Award Winner Avril Lavigne launched her first Canadian tour in over ten years with the “Bite Me Canada 2022” tour featuring special guests, grandson and Mod Sun. Vancouver was the second to last city on her sold-out Canadian tour.

To celebrate Lavigne’s remarkable accomplishments on the “Bite Me Canada 2022” tour, we welcomed Lavigne with a custom-designed wall mural backstage. See the mural featured on Avril Lavigne’s Instagram:

American singer, songwriter, and rapper, MOD SUN opened the night with ‘Betterman’, followed by an exhilarating performance by grandson who closed the opening act with ‘Blood // Water’. The crowd was up on their feet and well warmed up to greet the Pop Punk legend, Avril Lavigne.

Immediately as Lavigne hit the stage with ‘Cannonball’, the stage blew up; steamer cannons were blasted and blown-up balloons were dropped to the audience to be bounced around. Not only was the crowd impressed by the explosive stage effects, but they were truly blown away by Avril Lavigne’s timeless performance. The energy bounced off between the crowd and the artist was like no other.

Ending off with ‘I’m with You’, the concert was an absolute success and the crowd left the venue with even more timeless memories.

Thank you for making a stop in Vancouver Avril Lavigne!
