Avril Lavigne Announces Saratoga Springs Show in 2025

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Avril Lavigne will stage a 19-date tour in 2025 that includes an appearance at Saratoga Performing Arts Center on May 27.  

The SPAC show – the fourth gig of the tour – will include opening support from Simple Plan, and We The Kings.  

In 2024, Lavigne returned to the stage with a massive run of her “Greatest Hits” tour dates that included appearances at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and at major festivals like Glastonbury.

Lavigne first appeared at SPAC in 2005. From this reporter’s notebook – Avril Lavigne live at SPAC August 2005:

The 65 minutes of material performed – much of it culled from her albums ‘Let Go’ and ‘Under My Skin’– included a rendition of blink-182’s ‘All the Small Things,’ which out-muscled the original power trio’s  version in sheer joy. This was Power without Pretension, occasional off-key shrill and all, exhibiting acts of spontaneity on display for an art form too often missing the wonderful messiness of creativity in this modern age o contrived banalities…”
