The Best Damn Tour

Supporting her third studio album, The Best Damn Thing (2007), the tour played over 100 concerts in North America, Europe and Asia.

[1] Lavigne performed a private concert at the West Hollywood nightclub Whisky a Go Go, where she announced her tour produced by Live Nation.

The tour faced slight controversy when the political group, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party protested the concert.

The group felt that Lavigne's "punk" image was not suitable for children and was not appropriate during Merdeka (Independence Day).

[8] The tour faced additional troubles when Lavigne was forced to cancel the remaining nine shows on her North American leg.

Mike Devlin (Times Colonist) gave the premiere concert in Victoria, British Columbia two and a half out of five stars.

He explains, "I had the knives out last night, but was sadly disappointed that the show at Rexall Place wasn't as bad as I expected it to be.

He elaborates, "However, when Lavigne strapped on a guitar, as she did during 'My Happy Ending', she appeared to be in her comfort zone, strumming along as hordes of glowsticks and camera flashes dotted the arena.

She writes, "The excitement was hard to contain and any inkling of a struggling tour was put in the backburner here in the Rio Grande Valley.

[13] The concert starts off with an anonymous source spraying "Avril" on the screen in black graffiti, and then is colored in with a bright pink.

A selection of tracks include "Sk8er Boi", "My Happy Ending", "When You're Gone", and the remix of "Girlfriend" featuring Lil' Mama.

In Japan, beyond two concerts held at Yoyogi National Gymnasium, Avril played for 45,000 fans at Tokyo Dome, one of the biggest stadiums in the country.

Although the tour wasn't so successful in the United States at first, on the second leg, joined with the Jonas Brothers, 160,000 tickets were purchased, with an average of $861,599 grossed per concert.
